Chapter 3, Problem 12E
Explanation of Solution
State:
- The state space in here is a tree of depth one, that consists of all states successors of the initial state.
- There is no distinction between depth-first search and breadth-first search on such a tree.
- If the sequence length is unbounded, then the root node will have infinitely many successors, so that, only
algorithms which test for goal nodes as we generate successors can work...
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for not being a practical approach:
- An important disadvantage of collapsing the search space like this is if users discover that a plan starting with the action “unplug your battery” can’t be a solution, there ...

Consider a maze represented by a matrix of m rows and n
columns with obstacles (see the figure below). A cell with a
value = -1 is an obstacle that cannot be overcome.
The goal is to start from cell [0, 0] and reach the last cell [m-1,
n-1]. This may be possible by taking several paths. Count the
number of these paths.
The movement is allowed from cells (i+ 1, j) and (i, j+ 1) only.

Provide two solutions, one iterative and one recursive to the
above problem.
The problem states that there are five philosophers sitting around a circular table. The philosophers must alternatively think and eat.
Each philosopher has a bowl of food in front of them, and they require a fork in each hand to eat. However, there are only five forks available. You need to design a solution where each philosopher can eat their food without causing a deadlock.
Suppose a biking environment consists of n ≥ 3 landmarks,which are linked by bike route in a cyclical manner. That is, thereis a bike route between landmark 1 and 2, between landmark 2 and 3,and so on until we link landmark n back to landmark 1. In the centerof these is a mountain which has a bike route to every single landmark.Besides these, there are no other bike routes in the biking environment.You can think of the landmarks and the single mountain as nodes, andthe bike routes as edges, which altogether form a graph G. A path is asequence of bike routes.What is the number of paths of length 2 in the graph in termsof n?What is the number of cycles of length 3 in the graph in termsof n?What is the number of cycles in the graph in terms of n?

- A certain cat shelter has devised a novel way of making prospective adopters choose their new pet. To remove pet owners’ biases regarding breed, age, or looks, they are led blindfolded into a room containing all the cats up for adoption and must bring home whichever they pick up. Suppose you are trying to adopt two cats, and the shelter contains a total of N cats in one of only two colors: black or orange. is it still possible to pick up two black cats with probability ½, given that there is an even number of orange cats in the room? If so, how many cats should be in the room? How many black, how many orange?arrow_forwardPlease help me Josephus Problem is a theoretical problem related to a certain counting-out game.

You need to change this grouping so all components in it are equivalent (I. e. it contains a few events of a similar component). To accomplish this, you pick some integer x that happens to some extent once in a, and afterward play out the accompanying activity quite a few times (perhaps zero): pick some portion [l,r] of the arrangement and eliminate it. Yet, there is one special case: you are not permitted to pick a fragment that contains x. All the more officially, you pick some adjoining aftereffect [al,al+1,… ,ar] to such an extent that ai≠x if l≤i≤r, and eliminate it. After expulsion, the numbering of components to one side of the eliminated portion changes: the component that was the (r+1)- th is presently l-th, the component that was (r+2)- th is currently (l+1)- th, etc (I. e. the leftover arrangement simply falls). Note that you can not change x after you picked it. For instance, assume n=6,…arrow_forward
- The puzzle called the Towers of Hanoi consists of three pegs, one of which contains several rings stacked in order of descending diameter from bottom to top. The problem is to move the stack of rings to another peg. You are allowed to move only one ring at a time, and at no time is a ring to be placed on top of a smaller one. Observe that if the puzzle involved only one ring, it would be extremely easy. Moreover, when faced with the problem of moving several rings, if you could move all but the largest ring to another peg, the largest ring could then be placed on the third peg, and then the problem would be to move the remaining rings on top of it. Using this observation, develop a recursive algorithm for solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle for an arbitrary number of rings.arrow_forwardThe rook is a chess piece that may move any number of spaces either horizontally or vertically.

Suppose we place the rooks on the board one by one, and we care about the order in which we put them on the board. We still cannot place them in ways that attack each other.

Each robot will move along arbitrary tracksinside the circle while leaving behind a heat signature along its trail. However, they have beenprogrammed not to cross their own trail or the trail of another robot, neither will they ever moveout of the circle. In case a pair of robots i and j meet at any point, they are removed from the sceneand the club will pay a reward sum of M[i, j] to the owners of these robots. Note that some robotscan keep moving infinitely without ever meeting another one. Given the reward matrix M whereM[i, j] = M[j, i], design a polynomial time algorithm that determines the maximum money theclub might potentially end up spending.

- The Knapsack Problem is a famous computer science problem that is defined as follows: imagine you are carrying a knapsack with capacity to hold a total of weight C. You are selecting among n items with values A={a_1, a_2, ... , a_n} and associated weights W={w_1, w_2, ... , w_n}. Here the weights and values are all positive (but not necessarily unique). You wish to maximize the total value of the items you select not exceeding the given weight capacity, i.e. maximize sum_{a in A} such that sum_{w in W} <= C. Please note that you can only select your items once. a) We can reformulate this as a 2D bottom-up dynamic programming problem as follows. Define T_{i,j} as the highest possible value sum considering items 1 through i and total weight capacity j (j <= C). What is the base case i.e. T_{0,j} for all j and T_{i,0} for all i?, and What is the loop statement?arrow_forwardImplement an algorithmic solution, indicating which states are valid and which are not, and model the space of the following problem: An interest group from a small town decided to sue a company for commercial abuse.

The company to be sued, upon learning of these actions, has decided to send 3 lawyers to persuade the representatives, who will also travel in the same Van for that purpose. The community must file the class action suit under these conditions: - The three applicants must reach the destination city; - Only two people can travel per trip in the Van (small town - city, city - small town); - There can never be more lawyers than plaintiffs in any one place (either in the small town or city) because the lawyers can persuade the plaintiffs and as a consequence, the lawsuit would not be made; - The Van cannot be…arrow_forwardLet L={(a, b)|a, b∈Z,(a−b) mod 4 = 0}.
