Recall that a subgraph H of a graph G is proper if H + G. a) Prove that if a connected graph G is a tree, then no proper spanning subgraph of G is connected. b) [NOTE: Can be solved without having done part a)!] Now prove the converse: if G is a connected graph such that no proper spanning subgraph of G is connected, then G is a tree.

We can think of a tree as being a special kind of directed graph. To model a tree as a graph, we make the nodes of the tree become nodes in the graph and draw an edge from a parent node to each of its children. The drawing on the left shows a tree as a graph; the other three directed graphs do not correspond to a tree. Suppose we want to check if a given directed graph as shown in Figure 3 corresponds to a tree. A tree Not a tree Not a tree Not a tree b. Figure 3: A tree and not a tree structure.
We have an issue if G is a connected, undirected graph. An edge that connects adjacent edges in a graph is known as a bridge. Every bridge must be an edge in order for the depth-first search tree of G to exist. Give one or two examples to support your point.
Prove that a minimum spanning tree of a graph component must include a shortest edge. It is possible, in Dijkstra’s algorithm, that an edge removed from the priority queue is not useful: it takes us to a previously visited node. Some of these extraneous edges can be avoided by not placing an edge in the priority queue if the destination has already been visited. Is it still possible to encounter an edge to a previously visited node?
Trouble arises if G is a directed, linked graph. When an edge is removed from a graph, it might be considered a bridge. Every bridge e must be an edge in the depth-first search tree of G. Please include an example or two to illustrate your point.
2. A minimum spanning tree (MST) or minimum weight spanning tree is a subset of the edges of a connected, edge-weighted undirected graph that connects all the vertices together, without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight. There are 2 very popular algorthms to calcualte MSTs of a graph. These algorithms are Kruskal's algorithm and Prim's algorithm. Figure 2: A weighted graph and its minimum spanning tree (ii) Can a Minimum Spanning Tree finding algorithm like Prim's algorithms be used to find out the Maximum Spanning Tree? If yes, then explain your steps. If not, explain why not with logic.
