Chapter 6, Problem 15E
Explanation of Solution
Using the min-conflicts heuristic:
- The Sudoku problem is possible to solve using min-conflict heuristic.
- The min-conflict heuristic on Sudoku problem is not that much effective as min-effective is on the N-queen problem and as partial-assignment approach.
- This is because there are two types of conflicts. That are, a conflict with one of the numbers that defines the initial problem is one that must be corrected...

Raj Shaker is learning Combinatorics in his college. He finds it very interesting to
calculate number of ways of going to point (c, d) from point (a, b) in co-ordinate
plane. We can take horizontal and vertical steps only and cannot visit at a point twice.
In a step, you can move one unit only. We have to reach to the point (c, d) from the
point (a, b) using abs(a-c) + abs(b-d) steps only.
Raj Shaker has two sets of points. Set A contains points having X co-
ordinate 0 and Y co-ordinates varying from 1 to N (both inclusive). Set B contains
points having X co-ordinate K and Y co-ordinates varying from 1 to N (both inclusive).
Both sets contain N number of integral points. He wants to calculate the sum of
number of ways to going to each point of set B from each point of set A.

Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution.
You are asked to pick up a project on building highways to connect all cities in the country. The cost of building a highway between two cites i and j is c(i, j) > 0. If you were in charge from the beginning, this would have been a minimum spanning tree problem and could be solve easily with the algorithms covered in class. Since you pick it up halfway, however, some suboptimal choices have already been made by your predecessor. In other words, highways were already built between some pairs of cities. Design an algorithm to find a cost minimizing set of highways to built subject to the choices already made.

Look up the original papers by Warshall and by Roy(in French) in which they develop algorithms for findingtransitive closures. Discuss their approaches. Why do yousuppose that what we call Warshall’s algorithm was discoveredindependently by more than one person?

This is where the inductive description from the introduction becomes useful, as it provides a way to do so recursively: We can generate all arc diagrams with n arcs from all arc diagrams with (n - 1) arcs by adding one arc to each of them in precisely 2n 1 ways. To this end, we take an arc diagram with (n - 1) arcs, insert one new point at the left end and one more point somewhere to the right of it (2n − 1 options), and then match the newly inserted points to obtain the additional arc. The only "problem" is that we need to relabel some points in doing so. - - Inserting a point to the left implies that the indices of the other points all have to be increased by one. Moreover, if we insert another point at some position m, then all the indices with values m and larger again have to be increased by one. . = 1, 2, 3. This implies that all indices…arrow_forward
- this is gradient decent , in machine learningarrow_forwardWe mentioned that if we want to prove P = NP, we only need to pick up any one NPC problem and design a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem. If you want to prove P = NP, select one NPC problem based on your preference and describe your idea of a polynomial-time algorithm that solves the problem. It does not have to be a formal algorithm or pseudo-code, a description of your idea of designing such an algorithm would be fine.arrow_forwardComputer Science Compute the DFT of the vector x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] by running FFT(x) using any software tool such as matlab.arrow_forward
- A wave is modeled by the wave function: y (x, t) = A sin [ 2π/0.1 m (x - 12 m/s*t)] y1 (t) = A sin (2πf1t) y2 (t) = A sin (2πf2t) Using any computer program, construct the wave dependency graph resultant y (t) from time t in the case when the frequencies of the two sound waves are many next to each other if the values are given: A = 1 m, f1 = 1000 Hz and f2 = 1050 Hz. Comment on the results from the graph and determine the value of the time when the waves are with the same phase and assemble constructively and the time when they are with phase of opposite and interfere destructively. Doing the corresponding numerical simulations show what happens with the increase of the difference between the frequencies of the two waves and vice versa.arrow_forwardIf we want to prove P = NP, we only need to pick up any one NPC problem and design a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem.

Figure 1 shows two examples from France in about 1820. Figure 1 Example friezes a.Provide a decomposition of the problem of drawing a frieze pattern, assuming for the moment that the basic unit is repeated just 7 times. At this stage you are not trying to produce a solution, just break the problem down into smaller parts. We are looking for a decomposition that could apply to any frieze, so you should for now ignore the details of how the basic unit will be drawn. You will need to use a loop. (4 marks) In the remainder of this question, you will design and implement a program to draw the particular frieze shown in Figure 2.

For example, f(x) = 4x3 – 3x² + 2 %3D is a polynomial of degree 3, as 3 is the highest power of x in the formula. This is called a cubic polynomial, or just cubic.arrow_forward
