Chapter 3, Problem 16E

a.

Explanation of Solution

Formulation:

  • Initial state: one arbitrarily selected piece (say a straight piece).
  • Successor function: for any open peg, add any piece type from remaining types.
  • For a curved piece, add “in either orientation”; for a fork, add “in either orientation” and connect “at either hole”...

b.

Explanation of Solution

Search algorithm:

  • All solutions are at the same depth, so depth-first search would be appropriate.
  • The space is very large, so uniform-cost...

c.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for not removing any one of the “fork” pieces:

  • A solution has no open pegs or holes, so every peg is in a hole, so there must be equal numbers of pegs and holes. Removing a fork violates this property.
  • There are two other “proofs” that are acceptable:
    • a similar argument to the effect that there must be an even number of “ends”...

d.

Explanation of Solution

Upper bound:

  • The maximum possible number of open pegs is 3.
  • Pretending each piece is unique, any piece can be added to a peg, giving at most 12 + (2 · 16) + (2 · 2) + (2 · 2 · 2) = 56 choices per peg...

CSE330: Discrete Mathematics 1. In the classes, we discussed three forms of floating number representations as given below, (1) Standard/General Form, (2) Normalized Form, (3) Denormalized Form. Now, let's take, ẞ = 2, m = 3, emin = -2 and emax = 3. Based on these, answer the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) What are the maximum/largest numbers that can be stored in the system by these three forms defined above? (express your answer in decimal values) What are the non-negative minimum/smallest numbers that can be stored in the system by the denormalized form? (express your answer in decimal values) How many numbers (both non-negative and negative) can be represented in the above mentioned system using the general form? Explain your answer. Find all the decimal numbers for e = 3 and e = 2 in denormalized form, plot them on a real line and prove that all the numbers are not equally spaced. Write the equally spaced sets for the number line you drew. show your answer in Don't use any Al tool pen…

Suppose your computer is responding very slowly to information requests from the Internet. You observe that your network gateway shows high levels of network activity even though you have closed your e-mail client, Web browser, and all other programs that access the Internet. What types of malwares could cause such symptoms? What steps can you take to check whether malware has gained access to your system? What tools can you use at each step? If you identify malware, what ways might it have entered your system? How can you restore your PC to safe operation, including the special software tools you may use?
