Question 7.. We have computed the shortest path between all the nodes in a weighted graph. Then all the edges increase their costs by adding the same value c > 0. Will the shortest paths change? If your answer is NO, prove so, if the answer is YES, give an example of a graph where at least one shortest path changes.

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.
A directed edge from a vertex to itself counts. Explain each answer.
Assume that we are given an undirected graph G=(V,E). Consider that Dijkstra's algorithm found a shortest path in G, called SP, between two nodes A and X of V. Is it true or false that if we reverse the nodes on SP, we get a shortest path from X to A? Prove or disprove.

a. Consider Dijkstra’s algorithm to compute the shortest path for an edge weighted digraph. In the algorithm if we replace the priority queue data structure with a FIFO queue, will the algorithm still produce the shortest path? Explain your answer. b.Given an MST for an edge-weighted graph G and a new edge e, describe how to find an MST of the new graph in time proportional to V.
I need an example of a graph where using Floyd's algorithm to find the shortest path doesn't give the right answer because of negative edge weights
please answer both of the questions. 7. The Bellman-Ford algorithm for single-source shortest paths on a graph G(V,E) as discussed in class has a running time of O|V |3, where |V | is the number of vertices in the given graph. However, when the graph is sparse (i.e., |E| << |V |2), then this running time can be improved to O(|V ||E|). Describe how how this can be done.. 8. Let G(V,E) be an undirected graph such that each vertex has an even degree. Design an O(|V |+ |E|) time algorithm to direct the edges of G such that, for each vertex, the outdegree is equal to the indegree. Please give proper explanation and typed answer only.
Find the cost of a shortest path between a and d in the given weighted graph.
Consider the problem of finding the length of a "longest" path in a weighted, not necessarily connected, dag. We assume that all weights are positive, and that a "longest" path is a path whose edge weights add up to the maximal possible value. For example, for the following graph, the longest path is of length 15: 9. 9. (h) 2 3 Use a dynamic programming approach to the problem of finding longest path in a weighted dag.
We know that if the heuristic function in A* is good enough, then A* can always find a shortest weighted path between two vertices, and is generally much faster than Dijkstra. Assume we are using a graph where a good heuristic function is well defined for A*, such that A* can always find the same shortest paths as Dijkstra. Briefly explain when you should choose Dijkstra over A* in this case.
Please give me correct solution.
