Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 6, Problem 17E
Explanation of Solution
- A simple algorithm for finding a cutset of no more than k nodes is to enumerate all subsets of nodes of size 1,2,...,k.
- The user has to check whether the remaining nodes form a tree for each subset.
- The algorithm takes time. That is O(nk).
- The Modified Greedy Algorithm (MGA) introduced by Becker and Geiger, finds a cutest that is twice the size of the minimal cutest...

Consider an undirected graph with n nodes and m edges. The goal is to find a path between two specified nodes u and v that maximizes the minimum weight of any edge along the path. Assume that all edge weights are positive and distinct. Design an algorithm to solve this problem with a time complexity of O(m log n).
Suppose are you given an undirected graph G = (V, E) along with three distinct designated vertices u, v, and w. Describe and analyze a polynomial time algorithm that determines whether or not there is a simple path from u to w that passes through v. [Hint: By definition, each vertex of G must appear in the path at most once.]

- Let G be a directed acyclic graph. You would like to know if graph G contains directed path that goes through every vertex exactly once. Give an algorithm that tests this property. Provide justification of the correctness and analyze running time complexity of your algorithm. Your algorithm must have a running time in O(|V | + |E|). Detailed pseudocode is required.arrow_forwardGiven an undirected graph G = (V, E), a vertex cover is a subset of V so that every edge in E has at least one endpoint in the vertex cover. The problem of finding a minimum vertex cover is to find a vertex cover of the smallest possible size. Formulate this problem as an integer linear programming problem.arrow_forwardGiven a directed graph with non-negative edge weights, suppose we have computed the shortest paths from a given source to all the other vertices. If we modify the graph in such a way that the weights of all the edges are doubled, then, the shortest paths remain the same and only the total weights of the paths change.

- Let n be an even positive integer. (a) Show that if the degree of every vertex in a simple graph G on n vertices is at least (i.e., greater than or equal to) n/2, then G must be connected. (b) Give an example of a disconnected simple graph on n vertices in which every vertex has degree (n/2) – 1.arrow_forwardGiven an undirected graph G, and a path P, we want to verify that P is a cycle that contains all nodes in the graph (each node occurs on P exactly once, no repetition is allowed).In numbered steps, describe a polynomial-time verifier that checks if a given path P has the described properties (meaning that it is a cycle and it contains all nodes in the graph, with each node appearing on the path exactly once).(Hint: you can think of it in terms of this question: what does the verifier need to check to ensure that the path P has the described properties?).arrow_forwardLet G be a directed weighted graph with n vertices and m edges such that the edges in G have positive weights. Let (u, v) be an edge in G. By a shortest cycle containing edge (u, v) we mean a cycle containing (u, v) that is of minimum weight, among all cycles containing (u, v) (if such a cycle exists). Give an O(mlgn)-time algorithm that computes a shortest cycle in G containing the edge (u, v), or reports that no cycle containing edge (u, v) exists.arrow_forward

If the graph contains a cycle, then your algorithm should output one. (It should not output all cycles in the graph, just one of them.) The running time of your algorithm should be O(m+n) for a graph with n nodes and m edges.arrow_forwardConsider a weighted, directed graph G with n vertices and m edges that have integer weights. A graph walk is a sequence of not-necessarily-distinct vertices v1, v2, ... , Vk such that each pair of consecutive vertices Vi, Vi+1 are connected by an edge. This is similar to a path, except a walk can have repeated vertices and edges. The length of a walk in a weighted graph is the sum of the weights of the edges in the walk. Let s, t be given vertices in the graph, and L be a positive integer. We are interested counting the number of walks from s to t of length exactly L. Assume all the edge weights are positive. Describe an algorithm that computes the number of graph walks from s to t of length exactly L in O((n+ m)L) time. Prove the correctness and analyze the running time.

- Consider the Minimum-Weight-Cycle Problem: Input: A directed weighted graph G (V, E) (where the weight of edge e is w(e)) and an integer k. Output: TRUE if there is a cycle with total weight at most k and FALSE if there is no cycle with total weight at most k. Remember, a cycle is a list of vertices such that each vertex has an edge to the next and the final vertex has an edge to the first vertex. Each vertex can only occur once in the cycle. A vertex with a self-loop forms a cycle by itself. (a) Assume that all edge weights are positive. Give a polynomial-time algorithm for the Minimum-Weight-Cycle Problem. For full credit, you should: - Give a clear description of your algorithm. If you give pseudocode, you should support it with an expla- nation of what the algorithm does. Give the running time of your algorithm in terms of the number of vertices n and the number of edges m.

Design an algorithm to find such edge set with the smallest total weight. The algorithm should run in O((m + n) log n) time. please also (a) briefly justify the correctness of the algorithm; (b) present the time complexity of the algorithm and briefly justify the reasonarrow_forward3.
