Chapter 3.3, Problem 24E
- An algorithm is calledoptimalfor the solution of a problem with respect to a specified operation if there is no algorithm for solving this problem using fewer operations.
- Show that Algorithm 1 in Section 3.1 is an optimal algorithm respect to the number of comparisons of integers. [Note: Comparisons used for bookkeeping in the loop are not of concern here.]

[Ocean Weather] Information about ocean weather can be extracted from radar returns with the aid of a special algorithm. A study is conducted to estimate the difference in wind speed as measured on the ground and via the Seasat satellite. To do so, wind speeds (miles per hour) are measured on the ground and via the Seasat satellite simultaneously at 12 special times. The data is shown in the following table. The table also shows the difference between the wind speed on the ground and that via the Seasat satellite at each time, as well as some summary statistics.

- A school consists of 6 separate buildings, represented by the vertices in the graph. There are paths between some of the buildings as shown. The graph also shows the length in feet of each path. School administrators want to cover some of these paths with roofs so that students will be able to walk between buildings without getting wet when it rains. To minimize cost, they must select paths to be covered such that the total length to be covered is as small as possible. Use Kruskal's algorithm to determine which paths to cover.
