2. In a computer network some pairs of computers are connected by network cables.
Your goal is to set up the computers so that messages can be sent quickly from any
computer to any other computer. For this you have identified each of the n com-
puters uniquely with a number between 1 and n, and have decided that a message
should consist of two such numbers, identifying the sender and the recipient, fol-
lowed by the content of the message. As cables are relatively short, you can assume
that sending a message across a single cable takes an amount of time that is the
same irrespective of the length of the cable. You can further assume that at most
one message travels between computer at any point, so that you don't have to worry
about inference among messages.
(a) Define a graph or network that models the computer network and allows you
to answer the remaining parts of this question.
(b) Consider two computers, a sender and a recipient. Using the graph or network
you have defined,…
3. A spreadsheet consists of cells indexed by a row and a column. Each cell contains
either a value or a formula that depends on the values of other cells.
(a) Describe a graph, digraph, or network that models an arbitrary spreadsheet
and allows you to answer the remaining parts of this question.
(b) Explain, by referring to the graph, digraph, or network, when it is possible to
change the value of cell x without changing the value of cell y.
(c) Explain, by referring to the graph, digraph, or network, when it is possible to
calculate the values of all cells in the spreadsheet.
Consider the following spreadsheet with 5 rows, 7 columns, and 35 cells. For exam-
ple, cell el contains a value, whereas cell al contains a formula that depends on the
values cells el and 95.
