Program Plan Intro

To represent the graph’s acyclic topological nature.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: A graph G=(V,E) that is having an arbitrary linear order of vertices v1,v2....,v|V| and edges set partitioned into EfEb . Where Ef={(vi,vj)E:i<j} and Eb={(vi,vj)E:i>j} . This graph contains no self-loop therefore every edges is in either Ef or Eb .

Explanation:

As mentioned, graph does not contained any self-loop therefore; every edge in graph Gf will go from higher index vertices to lower indexes vertices. It means, it will never come back to same index where it was started and viceversa .

It means Gf is acyclic and its vertices (v1,v2,.......,v|V|) are sorted with topologically. As in same case, vertices (v|V|,.......,v2,v1) for graph Gb are sorted topologically.

Program Plan Intro

To represent the Yen’s improvement in Bellman-Ford algorithm.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Implementation of Bellman- Ford algorithm and a graph with relaxing edges of Ef and Eb .

Explanation:

Bellman- Ford algorithm is simpler than Dijkstra’s algorithm and worked very well with distributed systems. In the first step, it calculate the shortest path that is having at-most one edge in bottom-up approach then it will go for at most 2-edges and so-on up to ith iterations. This process proved that there is no negative weight cycle.

In Bellman- Ford algorithm and previous part a declare that the graph’s edges Ef are going in increasing order and Eb are going in decreasing order. It means any sequence {ki}i of vertices’ length can change from |V| to ||V|/2| times and it initially expected that vertices will increase their indexes before it run through Ef and Eb . For this change, vertices will increase |v+1| with respect to represent the sources in ordering of the vertices |vk2| .

(c)

Program Plan Intro

To calculate the effects of running time complexity for Bellman-Ford algorithm.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Implementation of Bellman- Ford algorithm and a scheme for evaluating the time complexity.

Explanation:

It cannot improve the asymptotic running time of Bellman-Ford algorithm becausehaving a co-efficient of 1 to 12 .It will drop the runtime of the algorithm.

The final runtime for the algorithm will be Ο(EV) .

We are given a directed graph G = (V, E) with edge weights w(e) for e E E. The edge weights are allowed to be negative. Let -C be the minimum value of the edge weights. Create a new set of edge weights w'(e) = w(e) + C. Thus these new weights are non-negative: w'(e) ≥ 0 for all e € E. Run Dijkstra's algorithm from a specified start vertex s € V on G with these new weights w'. For every graph G, every weights w, and every s E V, the above algorithm is guaranteed to find the shortest paths in G (not the actual lengths but the paths) from s with respect to the original weights w: True O False If you entered true, provide a short explanation. If you entered false provide a counterexample (show the graph and what the algorithm produces vs. the correct solution).

Given N cities represented as vertices V₁, V2, un on an undirected graph (i.e., each edge can be traversed in both directions). The graph is fully-connected where the edge eij connecting any two vertices vį and vj is the straight-line distance between these two cities. We want to search for the shortest path from v₁ (the source) to VN (the destination). ... Assume that all edges have different values, and €₁,7 has the largest value among the edges. That is, the source and destination have the largest straight-line distance. Compare the lists of explored vertices when we run the uniform-cost search and the A* search for this problem. Hint: The straight-line distance is the shortest path between any two cities. If you do not know how to start, try to run the algorithms by hand on some small cases first; but remember to make sure your graphs satisfy the conditions in the question.
