Consider eight points on the Cartesian two-dimensional x-y plane. a g C For each pair of vertices u and v, the weight of edge uv is the Euclidean (Pythagorean) distance between those two points. For example, dist(a, h) : V4? + 1? = /17 and dist(a, b) = v2? + 0² = 2. Because many pairs of points have identical distances (e.g. dist(h, c) V5), the above diagram has more than one minimum-weight spanning tree. dist(h, b) = dist(h, f) Determine the total number of minimum-weight spanning trees that exist in the above diagram. Clearly justify your answer.
Let G be a graph with n vertices. The k-coloring problem is to decide whether the vertices of G can be labeled from the set {1, 2, ..., k} such that for every edge (v,w) in the graph, the labels of v and w are different. Is the (n-4)-coloring problem in P or in NP? Give a formal proof for your answer. A 'Yes' or 'No' answer is not sufficient to get a non-zero mark on this question.
Consider a graph with five nodes labeled A, B, C, D, and E. Let's say we have the following edges with their weights: A to B with weight 3 A to C with weight 1 B to C with weight 3 B to D with weight 1 C to E with weight 4 D to E with weight 2 a. Find the shortest path from A to E using Dijkstra's algorithm (Would anything change if B to C weight was changed from 3 to 4? To 1? What about 5?)

Let G be a graph, where each edge has a weight. A spanning tree is a set of edges that connects all the vertices together, so that there exists a path between any pair of vertices in the graph. A minimum-weight spanning tree is a spanning tree whose sum of edge weights is as small as possible. Last week we saw how Kruskal's Algorithm can be applied to any graph to generate a minimum-weight spanning tree. In this question, you will apply Prim's Algorithm on the graph below. You must start with vertex A. H 4 4 1 3 J 2 C 10 4 8 B 9 F 18 8 There are nine edges in the spanning tree produced by Prim's Algorithm, including AB, BC, and IJ. Determine the exact order in which these nine edges are added to form the minimum-weight spanning tree. 3.
Square graph. The square of a directed graph G = (V,E) is the graph G^2 =(V,E^2)suchthat(u,w)∈E^2 if and only iff or some v∈V both(u,v)∈E and (v, w) ∈ E; that is, there is a path of exactly two edges. (i) Suppose that G is represented by an adjacency list. Describe an efficient algorithm for computing G^2 from G. (ii) Suppose that G is represented by an adjacency matrix. Describe an efficient algorithm for computing G^2 from G.
Given a graph G = (V;E) an almost independent set I V is a generalization of an independent set whereeach vertex u 2 I is connected to at most one other vertex in I but no more. In other words for all u; v 2 Iif (u; v) 2 E then (u; z) =2 E for all z 2 I (equvalently (v; z) =2 E). Note that every independent set is alsoalmost independent. Prove that the problem of nding whether there exists an almost independent set ofsize k for some k, is NP-complete.
We have a connected graph G=(V,E), and a specific vertex u∈V. Suppose we compute a depth-first search tree rooted at u, and obtain a tree T that includes all nodes of G. Suppose we then compute a breadth-first search tree rooted at u, and obtain the same tree T. Prove that G=T. (In other words, if T is both a depth-first search tree and a breadth-first search tree rooted at u, then G cannot contain any edges that do not belong to T.)
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 v; 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 e₁, 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.
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph and each edge e ∈ E is associated with a positive weight ℓ(e).For simplicity we assume weights are distinct. Is the following statement true or false? Let T be a minimum spanning tree for the graph with the original weight. Suppose we replace eachedge weight ℓ(e) with ℓ(e)^2, then T is still a minimum spanning tree.
