Chapter 7, Problem 33E

a.

Explanation of Solution

Candidate keys

  • A key is known as a candidate key when it has the ability to derive all the attributes from a relation...

b.

Explanation of Solution

Canonical cover for F

  • The steps for canonical conversion is to break the functional dependencies so that right hand side will have only one single attribute.
  • Then all the extra unnecessary functional dependencies are removed.
  • Then all the functional dependencies are combined.
  • Hence here the given functional dependencies include AB -> G, AB -> D ...

c.

Explanation of Solution

Remaining steps of algorithm

  • The given relation is in 1NF as there is no multivalued attribute or complex attribute.
  • The given relation is not in 2NF as there is partial functional dependency...

d.

Explanation of Solution

Final decomposition

  • Given functional dependencies are AB -> CD, ADE -> GDE, B -> GC, G -> DE.
  • Here ADE -> GDE have some trivial attributes.
  • So those attributes can be removed and hence the dependency is ADE -> G...

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1).  Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.  Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
