Chapter B, Problem 3P

(a)

Program Plan Intro

To show that any n-vertex binary tree can be partitioned into two sets A and B such that |A|3n/4 and |B|3n/4 , by removing a single edge.

(b)

Program Plan Intro

Toshow that the constant 3/4 in part (a) is optimal in the worst case by providing an example of a simple binary tree whose most evenly balanced partition upon removal of a single edge has |A|=3n/4 .

(c)

Program Plan Intro

Toshow that one can partition vertices of n-vertex binary tree into two sets A and B such that |A|=n/2 and |B|=n/2 by removing at most O(lgn) edges.
