Program Plan Intro

Depth-first search (DFS):

“Depth-first search” is an algorithm used for traversing tree or graph. In graph, the search will start from any vertex V. But in tree, the search will starts form the root.

  • DFS of a graph will start at any vertex V, and then recursively visits remaining vertices, which is adjacent to that vertex V.
  • DFS of a tree will visit the root first, and then recursively visits the subtrees of the root R.
  • It searches “deeper” in the graph, because graph may contain cycles. Hence it is referred as “depth-first” search.

Explain what a spanning tree is: a graph with no loops.
Write down the long codeword for the spanning tree in K10 that corresponds to the short codeword CCDCEABA. (Here the vertex set of K10 is {A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J}).
1. Construct a simple graph that is a forest with vertices M, N, O, P, Q, R such that the degree of O is 2 and there are 2 components. What is the edge set? 2. Construct a simple graph that is a tree with vertices P,Q,R,S,T,U such that the degree of U is 4. What is the edge set?
