Given a graph G (N, A) on which each arc (i, j) E A has an associated value rij, which is a real number in
the range of 0 ≤ rij ≤ 1 that represents the reliability of a communication channel from node i to node j.
We interpret rij as the probability that the channel from node i to node j will not fail, and we assume that
these probabilities are independent. Please formulate this problem as a shortest path problem and solve it
using the Dijkstra's algorithm.

Daniel and Ria are taking a road trip from Somerville to Vancouver (that’s in Canada). Because it’s a 52-hour drive, Daniel and Ria decide to switch off driving at each rest stop they visit; however, because Ria has a better sense of direction than Daniel, she should be driving both when they depart and when they arrive (to navigate the city streets).
Given a route map represented as a weighted undirected graph G = (V, E, w) with positive edge weights, where vertices represent rest stops and edges represent routes between rest stops, devise an efficient algorithm to find a route (if possible) of minimum distance between Somerville and Vancouver such that Daniel and Ria alternate edges and Ria drives the first and last edge. Specify the space and time complexity.
In the Erdös-Rényi random network model, suppose N=101 and p=1/20, that is, there are 101 vertices, and every pair of vertices has a probability of 1/20 of being connected by an edge. For the network model given what is the probability that a network generated with those parameters has exactly 400 edges? No need to give the decimal value, the mathematical expression will suffice

- Consider a connected undirected graph G=(V,E) in which every edge e∈E has a distinct and nonnegative cost. Let T be an MST and P a shortest path from some vertex s to some other vertex t. Now suppose the cost of every edge e of G is increased by 1 and becomes ce+1. Call this new graph G′. Which of the following is true about G′ ? a) T must be an MST and P must be a shortest s - t path. b) T must be an MST but P may not be a shortest s - t path. c) T may not be an MST but P must be a shortest s - t path. d) T may not be an MST and P may not be a shortest s−t path. Pls use Kruskal's algorithm to reason about the MST.arrow_forwardYou are given a graph G = (V, E) with positive edge weights, and a minimum spanning tree T = (V, E') with respect to these weights; you may assume G and T are given as adjacency lists. Now suppose the weight of a particular edge e in E is modified from w(e) to a new value w̃(e). You wish to quickly update the minimum spanning tree T to reflect this change, without recomputing the entire tree from scratch. There are four cases. In each case give a linear-time algorithm for updating the tree. Note, you are given the tree T and the edge e = (y, z) whose weight is changed; you are told its old weight w(e) and its new weight w~(e) (which you type in latex by widetilde{w}(e) surrounded by double dollar signs). In each case specify if the tree might change. And if it might change then give an algorithm to find the weight of the possibly new MST (just return the weight or the MST, whatever's easier).

The edge weights are allowed to be negative. Let -C be the minimum value of the edge weights. Create a new set of edge weights w'(e) = w(e) + C. Thus these new weights are non-negative: w'(e) ≥ 0 for all e € E. Run Dijkstra's algorithm from a specified start vertex s € V on G with these new weights w'. For every graph G, every weights w, and every s E V, the above algorithm is guaranteed to find the shortest paths in G (not the actual lengths but the paths) from s with respect to the original weights w: True O False If you entered true, provide a short explanation. If you entered false provide a counterexample (show the graph and what the algorithm produces vs. the correct solution).arrow_forward

The Department of Highways (DOH) decides to install the cameras to detect the bad driver. To reduce the cost, the cameras are strategically installed in the cities that a driver must pass through in order to go from one city to another city. For example, if there are two cities A and B such that the path that goes from A to B and the path that goes from B to A must pass the city C, then C must install the camera. Suppose that there are m cities and n roads. Write an O (m + n) to list all cities where cameras should be installed.arrow_forwardGiven N cities represented as vertices V₁, V2, un on an undirected graph (i.e., each edge can be traversed in both directions). The graph is fully-connected where the edge ei,j connecting any two vertices vį and vj is the straight-line distance between these two cities. We want to search for the shortest path from v₁ (the source) to UN (the destination). Assume that all edges have different values, and e₁,N has the largest value among the edges. That is, the source and destination have the largest straight-line distance. Compare the lists of explored vertices when we run the uniform-cost search and the A* search for this problem. Hint: The straight-line distance is the shortest path between any two cities. If you do not know how to start, try to run the algorithms by hand on some small cases first; but remember to make sure your graphs satisfy the conditions in the question.arrow_forward
- B. Suppose we wish to animate a bouncing ball. We are given keyframes for the ball's motion. The key frames are at times T = {0, 3, 9, 15} with associated height values of H = {1, 6, 8, 3}. 1. Plot the graph of height versus time using linear interpolation between key frames. 2. Since the ball's speed changes as it falls and as it bounces, linear interpolation will not give a realistic result. Which method would create the most realistic bounce?

Moreover, each edge of this graph is colored either blue or red. Your goal is to find whether there is at least one path from s to t such that all red edges in this path appear after all blue edges (the path may not contain any blue edges or any red edges, but if it has both types of edges, all red edges should appear after all blue edges). Design and analyze an algorithm for solving this problem in O(n + m) time.arrow_forwardGiven N cities represented as vertices V₁, V2,..., UN on an undirected graph (i.e., each edge can be traversed in both directions).
