Fair share problem: Given a set of N positive integers S={x1, x2, x3,…, xk,… xN}, decide whether S can be partitioned into two sets S0 and S1 such that the sum of numbers in S0 equals to the sum of numbers in S1. This problem can be formulated as a minimisation problem using the objective function which takes the absolute value of the difference between the sum of elements in S0 and the sum of elements in S1. Assuming that such a partition is possible, then the minimum for a given problem instance would have an objective value of 0. A candidate solution can be represented using a binary array r=[b1, b2, b3,…, bk,… bN], where bk is a binary variable indicating which set the k-th number in S is partitioned into, that is, if bk =0, then the k-th number is partitioned in to S0, otherwise (which means bk =1) the k-th number is partitioned in to S1. For example, given the set with five integers S={4, 1, 2, 2, 1}, the solution [0,1,0,1,1] indicates that S is…
A hungry mouse wants to eat all four fruits in a maze such as the one below, in as few moves as
possible.. At each turn the mouse can move any number of squares in one of the directions up,
down, left or right, but it is not allowed to enter (or jump over) any walls (i.e., the black squares).
Thus, the mouse moves just like a rook in chess. To eat a fruit, the mouse has to stop at that square.
Assume that the maze has 4 fruits, and the size of b xh squares.
1. Give a suitable representatión of the states in this searching problem.
2. How many possible actions can the mouse perform at each move? (1.e., what is the branching
factor?)
Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science.
one maneuver, the robot should move one cell to the left or right, given that it doesn't move beyond the field of play. As such, if the robot was in the cell I, it should move to either the cell i−1 or the cell i+1, as long as it lies among 1 and n (endpoints comprehensive). The cells, in the request they are visited (counting the cell the robot is set), together make a decent way.
Every cell I has a worth computer based intelligence related with it. Let c0,c1,… ,ck be the succession of cells in a decent way in the request they are visited (c0 is the cell robot is at first positioned, c1 is the cell where the robot is after its first move, etc; all the more officially, ci is the cell that the robot is at after I moves). Then, at that point, the worth of the way is determined as ac0+ac1+⋯+ack.
Your errand is to work out the amount of qualities over all conceivable great ways. Since this number can be…

- Transcribed Image Text Elon Musk is running the graph construction business. A client has asked for a special graph. A graph is called special if it satisfies the following properties: • It has <105 vertices. It is a simple, undirected, connected 3-regular graph. It has exactly k bridge edges, (k given as input). For a graph G, define f(G) to be the minimum number of edges to be removed from it to make it bipartite. The client doesn't like graphs with a high value of f, so you have to minimize it. If there doesn't exist any special graph, print –1. Otherwise, find a special graph G with the minimum possible value of f(G) and also find a subset of its edges of size f(G) whose removal makes it bipartite. In case there are multiple such graphs, you can output any of those. Elon has assigned this task to you, now vou have to develon a C++ code that takes bridge edges as innut and print all the possible granhsarrow_forwardThe Knapsack Problem is a famous computer science problem that is defined as follows: imagine you are carrying a knapsack with capacity to hold a total of weight C. You are selecting among n items with values A={a_1, a_2, ... , a_n} and associated weights W={w_1, w_2, ... , w_n}. Here the weights and values are all positive (but not necessarily unique). You wish to maximize the total value of the items you select not exceeding the given weight capacity, i.e. maximize sum_{a in A} such that sum_{w in W} <= C. Please note that you can only select your items once. a) We can reformulate this as a 2D bottom-up dynamic programming problem as follows. Define T_{i,j} as the highest possible value sum considering items 1 through i and total weight capacity j (j <= C). What is the base case i.e. T_{0,j} for all j and T_{i,0} for all i?, and What is the loop statement?arrow_forwardOn a chess board of r rows and c columns there is a lone white rook surrounded by a group of opponent's black knights. Each knight attacks 8 squares as in a typical chess game, which are shown in the figure - the knight on the red square attacks the 8 squares with a red dot. The rook can move horizontally and vertically by any number of squares. The rook can safely pass through an empty square that is attacked by a knight, but it must move to a square that is not attacked by any knight. The rook cannot jump over a knight while moving. If the rook moves to a square that contains a knight, it may capture it and remove it from the board. The black knights. never move. Can the rook eventually safely move to the designated target square? The figure illustrates how the white rook can move to the blue target square at the top-right corner in the first sample case. The rook captures one black knight at the bottom-right of the board on its way. Rok nd kight lcoes by Chunen Input The first line…arrow_forward
- True or False 1. Matrices are often represented by single small letters a, b, c... etc.2. Two m x n matrices A and B are equal if aij=bij for each i & j. (i.e., the two matrices havesame size, and all the corresponding elements are equal).3. Matrices A & B are said to be conformable in the order AB if, and only if, the number ofrows in A is equal to the number of columns in B.4. Suppose Matrix A is having 4 rows and 3 columns, and Matrix B is having 3 rows and 2columns. The product size of AB is a 4 x 2 matrix.5. Suppose B is the matrix obtained from an n x n matrix A by multiplying the entries in arow/column by a non-zero constant and adding the result to the corresponding entries inanother row/column. Then, det(B) = det(A).arrow_forwardmax edge distance Simplification key Figure 4-1: A sample process for the Douglas-Peucker algorithm The Douglas-Peucker algorithm is for the selection of representative points to simplify a curve composed of line segments. It uses a point-to-edge distance tolerance. The algorithm starts with a crude simplification that is the single edge joining the first and last vertices of the original polyline. It then computes the perpendicular distance of all intermediate vertices to that edge. The vertex that is furthest away from that edge, and that has a computed distance that is larger than a specified tolerance, will be marked as a key and added to the simplification. This process will recurse for each edge in the current simplification until all vertices of the original polyline are within tolerance of the simplification results. This process is illustrated in Figure 4-1.

- Bus timetables specify to the second the exact arrival and departure time of each bus on each stop. You need to pay for the full fare of every bus you ride and different bus lines charge different fees , but they are flat fees (independent of distance travelled on the line) A travel plan is a sequence of stop-time pairs where stop is a location of a bus stop and time is when we arrive at that stop. The plan is feasible if for any two consecutive pairs (a, t) and (b, t′) in the plan there exists a bus that departs after t and arrives at b at exactly t′. That is, a travel plan does not allow us to walk between stops. Assuming that no two buses arrive at the same time at the same stop, a feasible plan uniquely identifies the bus lines that we need to take to realize the plan. The cost of the plan is the sum of the fares we need to pay. Your task is to design an efficient algorithm that given a departure time t, an arrival time t′, an origin stop a and a destination stop b, finds the…arrow_forwardQuestion-Path Search in A MazeA two dimensional array of red and green entries represents a maze.
