1. In the activity selection problem, consider a greedy approach which repeatedly selects the last activity to start (of those which are compatible with all previously selected activities) instead of the first activity to finish. Describe how this approach is a greedy algorithm, and show that it yields an optimal solution. You may choose to either (1) show this directly or (2) to show that it is equivalent to the "first activity to start" approach which you can cite as proven based on lecture and the textbook. (This is similar to problem 15.1-2 from CLRS)

Consider navigating the maze shown below (same maze used in the homework). (N M 4 2 K 2 2 2 E B G 2 2 F H 2 The maze is represented as a graph with edge costs as shown on the edges. The edge cost is 1 for all edges where the cost is not shown. Let B be the initial state and G is the goal state. The heuristic cost of every node to reach G is : h(n) Th A 5.1 B 4.1 C 3.9 D 14 E 2.2 IF 3.8 G 0 IH 3.7 IJ 7 IK 16 L 14 IM 0.5 IN 1.5 IP 1.8 S 4.5 Show the steps of an A* search starting from B to goal G: .

Given an array of integers, find the longest non-decreasing subsequences (the subsequence does not need to be consecutive). For example, A = [8,5,2,10,3,6,9,7] contains the longest subsequences [2,3,6,9] and [2,3,6,7].a. Formulate the recursive relation of the optimal solution (do not miss the base case); b. Design a bottom-up (iterative) algorithm to calculate the length of the longest non-decreasing subsequences (pseudo code); c. Analyze the complexity of your algorithm.

You are given an undirected graph represented as an adjacency list, a starting node start, and a target node end. Write a function to determine if there is a path between start and end in the graph. Return true if a path exists; otherwise, return false. The graph is represented as an adjacency list, where each key is a node and its value is a list of neighboring nodes. Select the optimal solution in terms of time complexity. If time complexities are same for multiple solutions, select the one with optimal space complexity. function path_exists(graph, start, end): stack = [start] visited = set() while stack: node = stack.pop() if node == end: return true if node not in visited: visited.add(node) for neighbor in graph[node]: stack.append(neighbor) return false function path_exists(graph, start, end, visited=set()): if start == end: return true visited.add(start) for neighbor in…

Please answer the following question in detail and explain all the proofs and assumptions for all parts. The question has three parts, (a), (b) and (c). Iterative lengthening search is an iterative analogue of uniform-cost search. The basic idea is to use increasing limits on path cost. If a node is generated whose path cost exceeds the current limit, it is immediately discarded. For each new iteration, the limit is set to the lowest path cost of any node discarded in the previous iteration. (a) Show that this algorithm is optimal for general path costs. You may assume that all costs are integers (this is not a loss of generality if the search space is finite). You may wish to consider the minimal path cost C; what happens when we set the path cost to be some limit l < C? (b) Consider a uniform tree with branching factor b, solution depth d, and unit step costs (each action costs one unit). How many iterations will iterative lengthening require? (c) (7 points) Now consider the…
