2. In the standard MST problem, we want to minimize the sum of the edges in a spanning tree. Consider a different objective function where we want to minimize the weight of the most expensive edge in the spanning tree. (a) Will an optimal solution for the first objective function always be an optimal solution for the second objective function? Prove or give a counterexample. (b) Will an optimal solution for the second objective function always be an optimal solution for the first objective function? Prove or give a counterexample.

Consider a prize-collecting TSP we discussed as the subproblem for VRP: there is no constraint requiring every node to be on the tour, but there is a reward πi for visiting node i. The objective is to minimize the total tour length minus the total rewards for nodes visited. (a) Formulate the prize-collecting TSP as a linear integer programming problem. (b) Propose a heuristic for the prize-collecting TSP. Explain your heuristic in word. This question is open-ended.
1. Consider an instance of the Knapsack Problem without repetitions with 4 items, having weights and values as follows. The weights (in pounds) are w1=2, w2 =7, w3 =10, w4 =12. The dollar values of these items are respectively v1 = 12, v2 = 28, v3 = 30, v4 = 5. The capacity of the knapsack is 12. (a) Find the optimal solution for Fractional Knapsack. (b) Find the optimal solution for 0-1 Knapsack.
(a) The first-fit algorithm is a simple approximation algorithm for solving the bin packing problem. Please present the first-fit algorithm. (b) Show that the number of bins resulting from the first-fit algorithm is no more than twice the number of bins required in an optimal solution.
Any linear program L, given in standard form, either1. has an optimal solution with a finite objective value,2. is infeasible, or3. is unbounded.If L is infeasible, SIMPLEX returns “infeasible.” If L is unbounded, SIMPLEXreturns “unbounded.” Otherwise, SIMPLEX returns an optimal solution with a finiteobjective value.

I only need part B in the image, I have already completed part A. How do I formally prove that by using consecutive powers for the values of coins, that it will give me the optimal solution? (using induction preferably unless an easier formal proof is available)
1. Consider the Mealy model FSM described by the state transition diagram shown below. Notation: I/Z 1/1 0/0 B A 1/1 1/0 1/1 0/0 D C 0/1 0/0 Can this FSM be minimized, i.e., can any of the states be combined? If it can be reduced, develop an optimal state diagram for the reduced machine. Show your work.
