Chapter 10.CT, Problem 1CT
What is the Alabama paradox?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain:
The meaning of the Alabama Paradox.
Answer to Problem 1CT
Solution:
When a state or party loses a seat due to an increase in the number of seats in the legislature, then this is known as the Alabama paradox. This situation is referred to as the Alabama paradox, because it first occurred when Alabama lost a representative with an increase in the number of House members from 299 to 300. Another important point is that no state had a change in population. Alabama which had 8 representatives in a 299-member house was left with only 7 representatives in a 300-member house.

Let G
=
(V,E) be a 3-connected graph. We prove that for every x, y, z Є V, there is a
cycle in G on which x, y, and z all lie.
(a) First prove that there are two internally disjoint xy-paths Po and P₁.
(b) If z is on either Po or P₁, then combining Po and P₁ produces a cycle on which
x, y, and z all lie. So assume that z is not on Po and not on P₁. Now prove that
there are three paths Qo, Q1, and Q2 such that:
⚫each Qi starts at z;
• each Qi ends at a vertex w; that is on Po or on P₁, where wo, w₁, and w₂ are
distinct;
the paths Qo, Q1, Q2 are disjoint from each other (except at the start vertex
2) and are disjoint from the paths Po and P₁ (except at the end vertices wo,
W1, and w₂).
(c) Use paths Po, P₁, Qo, Q1, and Q2 to prove that there is a cycle on which x, y, and
z all lie. (To do this, notice that two of the w; must be on the same Pj.)
