- please answer both of the questions. 7. The Bellman-Ford algorithm for single-source shortest paths on a graph G(V,E) as discussed in class has a running time of O|V |3, where |V | is the number of vertices in the given graph. However, when the graph is sparse (i.e., |E| << |V |2), then this running time can be improved to O(|V ||E|). Describe how how this can be done.. 8. Let G(V,E) be an undirected graph such that each vertex has an even degree. Design an O(|V |+ |E|) time algorithm to direct the edges of G such that, for each vertex, the outdegree is equal to the indegree. Please give proper explanation and typed answer only.arrow_forwardWe know that if the heuristic function in A* is good enough, then A* can always find a shortest weighted path between two vertices, and is generally much faster than Dijkstra. Assume we are using a graph where a good heuristic function is well defined for A*, such that A* can always find the same shortest paths as Dijkstra. Briefly explain when you should choose Dijkstra over A* in this case.arrow_forwardProve that The number of augmenting paths needed in the shortest-augmenting-path implementation of the Ford-Fulkerson maxflow algorithm for a flow network with V vertices and E edges is at most EV /2.arrow_forward
- You are organizing a programming competition, where contestants implement Dijkstra's algorithm. Given adirected graph G = (V, E) with integer-weight edges and a starting vertex s ∈ V , their programs are supposedto output triplets (v, v.d, v.π) for each vertex v ∈ V . Design an O(V +E) time algorithm that takes as inputthe original graph G in both adjacency matrix (G.M) and adjacency list (G.Adj) representations, startingvertex s, and the output of a contestant's program (given as an array A of triplets), and returns whetherA is the correct output for G. Write down the pseudocode for your algorithm, explain why it correctlyveries the output, and analyze your algorithm's running time. You may assume that all edge weights of the input graph provided to the contestantsare nonnegative and A (the output of their programs) is in the valid format, i.e., you don't need to verifythat A is actually an array of triplets, with v and v.π being valid vertices and v.d being an integer.Can you…arrow_forwardDesign a dynamic programming algorithm for the bigger-is-smarterelephant problem by comparing it, as done previously, with the problem of finding thelongest weighted path within a directed level graph problem.arrow_forwardHow can we merge parallel edges that are in the same direction in a flow network G?arrow_forward
