The Weighted Interval Scheduling Problem is defined as n requests labelled 1,...,n, with each request i specifying a start time si, a finish time f; and a weight v. For each request i, s;< f;. Assume the requests are sorted in order of non-decreasing finish times: f₁s f₂s... fr. Two
requests i and j, i

Q. Which of the following is CORRECT for the weighted interval scheduling problem?
1. The original problem is one of the subproblems.
2. To ensure that a problem can be solved using dynamic programming, there should be a natural ordering on subproblems from “smallest” to “largest”. In the weighted interval scheduling problem, OPT(j) is a smaller problem than OPT(p(j))
3. The recursive implementation of the algorithm for computing the optimal value without using memoization has o(n) complexity
4. Weighted interval scheduling problem has exponential computing complexity.
As a teaching administrator of the department, your responsibility is to schedule the
classes for a particular classroom. Suppose there are n classes, each class i is
represented by its start time and finishing time [Si, fi], and we say that two classes i
and j are non-conflicting if they do not overlap in time (i.e., sizfj or szfi). You want to
schedule as many classes for the classroom as possible, but the scheduled classes
should be non-conflicting. Develop an algorithm so that you can select the maximum
number of classes for the classroom. (We are expecting either pseudocode or
language description of your algorithm)

- Job scheduling Consider the problem of scheduling n jobs of known durations t1,t2,. . .,tn for execution by a single processor. The jobs can be executed in any order, one job at a time. You want to find a schedule that minimizes the total time spent by all the jobs in the system. (The time spent by one job in the system is the sum of the time spent by this job in waiting plus the time spent on its execution.) Design a greedy algorithm for this problem. Does the greedy algorithm always yield an optimal solution?arrow_forwardFrom the textbook NETWORK FLOWS: THEORY, ALGORITHMS, AND APPLICATIONS - Exercise 4.2: Formulate and solve with Python code using a topo-shortest-path algorithm and data below: Beverly owns a vacation home in Cape Cod that she wishes to rent for the period May 1 to August 31.

They can select any subset S; C {1,2, ..., n}, as long as the total cost to write all reviews is less than T (the time before the deadline): 2 Sij 1.

The problem should be solved according to the followingrules: (1) when a disk is moved, it must be placed on one of the three pegs;(2) only one disk may be moved at a time, and it must be the top disk on oneof the pegs; and (3) a larger disk may never be placed on top of a smallerdisk.(a) Show for your algorithm that S (n) = 2n − 1.
