<p>We are given a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ on which each edge $(u, v) \in E$ has an associated value $r(u, v)$, which is a real number in the range $0 \le r(u, v) \le 1$ that represents the reliability of a communication channel from vertex $u$ to vertex $v$. We interpret $r(u, v)$ as the probability that the channel from $u$ to $v$ will not fail, and we assume that these probabilities are independent.

<p>The <strong><em>edge connectivity</em></strong> of an undirected graph is the minimum number $k$ of edges that must be removed to disconnect the graph. For example, the edge connectivity of a tree is $1$, and the edge connectivity of a cyclic chain of vertices is $2$. Show how to determine the edge connectivity of an undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ by running a maximum-flow algorithm on at most $|V|$ flow networks, each having $O(V)$ vertices and $O(E)$ edges.</p>

<h2>24.2-3</h2>

<p>The PERT chart formulation given above is somewhat unnatural. In a more natural structure, vertices would represent jobs and edges would represent sequencing constraints; that is, edge $(u, v)$ would indicate that job $u$ must be performed before job $v$. We would then assign weights to vertices, not edges. Modify the $\text{DAG-SHORTEST-PATHS}$ procedure so that it finds a longest path in a directed acyclic graph with weighted vertices in linear time.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<details>
|
|||
|
|
<summary>Solution</summary>
|
|||
|
|
<p>There are two ways to transform a PERT chart $G = (V, E)$ with weights on the vertices to a PERT chart $G' = (V', E')$ with weights on edges. Both ways satisfy $|V'| \le 2|V|$ and $|E'| \le |V| + |E|$, so we can scan $G'$ using the same algorithm to find the longest path through a directed acyclic graph.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In the first way, we transform each vertex $v \in V$ into two vertices $v'$ and $v''$ in $V'$. All edges in $E$ that enters $V$ will also enter $V'$ in $E'$, and all edges in $E$ that leaves $V$ will leave $V''$ in $E'$. Thus, if $(u, v) \in E$, then $(u'', v') \in E'$. All such edges have weight 0, so we can put edges $(v', v'')$ into $E'$ for all vertices $v \in V$, and these edges are given the weight of the corresponding vertex $v$ in $G$. Finally, we get $|V'| \le 2|V|$ and $|E'| \le |V| + |E|$, and the edge weight of each path in $G'$ equals the vertex weight of the corresponding path in $G$.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In the second way, we leave vertices in $V$, but try to add one new source vertex $s$ to $V'$, given that $V' = V \cup \{s\}$. All edges of $E$ are in $E'$, and $E'$ also includes an edge $(s, v)$ for every vertex $v \in V$ that has in-degree 0 in $G$. Thus, the only vertex with in-degree 0 in $G'$ is the new source $s$. The weight of edge $(u, v) \in E'$ is the weight of vertex $v$ in $G$. We have the weight of each entering edge in $G'$ is the weight of the vertex it enters in $G$.</p>

|
|||
|
|
<details>
|
|||
|
|
<summary>Solution</summary>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Since we only use the previous row of the $c$ table to compute the current row, we compute as normal, but when we go to compute row $k$, we free row $k - 2$ since we will never need it again to compute the length. To use even less space, observe that to compute $c[i, j]$, all we need are the entries $c[i − 1, j]$, $c[i − 1, j − 1]$, and $c[i, j − 1]$. Thus, we can free up entry-by-entry those from the previous row which we will never need again, reducing the space requirement to $\min(m, n)$. Computing the next entry from the three that it depends on takes $O(1)$ time and space.</p>

<p>A <strong><em>perfect matching</em></strong> is a matching in which every vertex is matched. Let $G = (V, E)$ be an undirected bipartite graph with vertex partition $V = L \cup R$, where $|L| = |R|$. For any $X \subseteq V$, define the <strong><em>neighborhood</em></strong> of $X$ as</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$N(X) = \{y \in V: (x, y) \in E \text{ for some } x \in X\},$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>that is, the set of vertices adjacent to some member of $X$. Prove <strong><em>Hall's theorem</em></strong>: there exists a perfect matching in $G$ if and only if $|A| \le |N(A)|$ for every subset $A \subseteq L$.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<details>
|
|||
|
|
<summary>Solution</summary>
|
|||
|
|
<p>First suppose there exists a perfect matching in $G$. Then for any subset $A \subseteq L$, each vertex of $A$ is matched with a neighbor in $R$, and since it is a matching, no two such vertices are matched with the same vertex in $R$. Thus, there are at least $|A|$ vertices in the neighborhood of $A$.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Now suppose that $|A| \le |N(A)|$ for all $A \subseteq L$. Run Ford-Fulkerson on the corresponding flow network. The flow is increased by $1$ each time an augmenting path is found, so it will suffice to show that this happens $|L|$ times. Suppose the while loop has run fewer than $L$ times, but there is no augmenting path. Then fewer than $L$ edges from $L$ to $R$ have flow $1$.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Let $v_1 \in L$ be such that no edge from $v_1$ to a vertex in $R$ has nonzero flow. By assumption, $v_1$ has at least one neighbor $v_1' \in R$. If any of $v_1$'s neighbors are connected to $t$ in $G_f$ then there is a path, so assume this is not the case. Thus, there must be some edge $(v_2, v_1)$ with flow $1$. By assumption, $N(\{v_1, v_2\}) \ge 2$, so there must exist $v_2' \ne v_1'$ such that $v_2'\in N(\{v_1, v_2 \})$. If $(v_2', t)$ is an edge in the residual network we're done since $v_2'$ must be a neighbor of $v_2$, so $s$, $v_1$, $v_1'$, $v_2$, $v_2'$, and $t$ is a path in $G_f$. Otherwise $v_2'$ must have a neighbor $v_3 \in L$ such that $(v_3, v_2')$ is in $G_f$. Specifically, $v_3 \ne v_1$ since $(v_3, v_2')$ has flow $1$, and $v_3 \ne v_2$ since $(v_2, v_1')$ has flow $1$, so no more flow can leave $v_2$ without violating conservation of flow. Again by our hypothesis, $N(\{v_1, v_2, v_3\}) \ge 3$, so there is another neighbor $v_3' \in R$.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Continuing in this fashion, we keep building up the neighborhood $v_i'$, expanding each time we find that $(v_i', t)$ is not an edge in $G_f$. This cannot happen $L$ times, since we have run the Ford-Fulkerson while-loop fewer than $|L|$ times, so there still exist edges into $t$ in $G_f$. Thus, the process must stop at some vertex $v_k'$, and we obtain an augmenting path</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$s, v_1, v_1', v_2, v_2', v_3, \ldots, v_k, v_k', t,$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>contradicting our assumption that there was no such path. Therefore the while loop runs at least $|L|$ times. By Corollary 26.3 the flow strictly increases each time by $f_p$. By Theorem 26.10 $f_p$ is an integer. In particular, it is equal to $1$. This implies that $|f| \ge |L|$. It is clear that $|f| \le |L|$, so we must have $|f| = |L|$. By Corollary 26.11 this is the cardinality of a maximum matching. Since $|L| = |R|$, any maximum matching must be a perfect matching.</p>

<p>The vertices of the subproblem graph are the ordered pair $v_{ij}$, where $i \le j$.</p>
|

<ul>

<li>If $i = j$, the vertex $v_{ij}$ has no output edge.</li>
|

<li>If $i < j$, for each $k$, s.t. $i \le k < j$, the subproblem graph contains edges $(v_{ij}, v_{ik})$ and $(v_{ij}, v_{k+1, j})$, and these edges indicate that to solve the subproblem of optimally parenthesizing the product $A_i \cdots A_j$, we need to solve subproblems of optimally parenthesizing the products $A_i \cdots A_k$ and $A_{k + 1} \cdots A_j$.</li>

<p>Professor Newman thinks that he has worked out a simpler proof of correctness for Dijkstra's algorithm. He claims that Dijkstra's algorithm relaxes the edges of every shortest path in the graph in the order in which they appear on the path, and therefore the path-relaxation property applies to every vertex reachable from the source. Show that the professor is mistaken by constructing a directed graph for which Dijkstra's algorithm could relax the edges of a shortest path out of order.</p>

<p>Suppose that you are given a flow network $G$, and $G$ has edges entering the source $s$. Let $f$ be a flow in $G$ in which one of the edges $(v, s)$ entering the source has $f(v, s) = 1$. Prove that there must exist another flow $f'$ with $f'(v, s) = 0$ such that $|f| = |f'|$. Give an $O(E)$-time algorithm to compute $f'$, given $f$, and assuming that all edge capacities are integers.</p>

<p>The <strong><em>diameter</em></strong> of a tree $T = (V, E)$ is defined as $\max_{u,v \in V} \delta(u, v)$, that is, the largest of all shortest-path distances in the tree. Give an efficient algorithm to compute the diameter of a tree, and analyze the running time of your algorithm.</p>
|

<details>

|
<summary>Solution</summary>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Suppose that a and b are the endpoints of the path in the tree which achieve the diameter, and without loss of generality assume that $a$ and $b$ are the unique pair which do so. Let $s$ be any vertex in $T$. We claim that the result of a single $\text{BFS}$ will return either $a$ or $b$ (or both) as the vertex whose distance from $s$ is greatest.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>To see this, suppose to the contrary that some other vertex $x$ is shown to be furthest from $s$. (Note that $x$ cannot be on the path from $a$ to $b$, otherwise we could extend). Then we have</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$d(s, a) < d(s, x)$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>and</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$d(s, b) < d(s, x).$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Let $c$ denote the vertex on the path from $a$ to $b$ which minimizes $d(s, c)$. Since the graph is in fact a tree, we must have</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$d(s, a) = d(s, c) + d(c, a)$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>and</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$d(s, b) = d(s, c) + d(c, b).$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>(If there were another path, we could form a cycle). Using the triangle inequality and inequalities and equalities mentioned above we must have</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$
|
|||
|
|
\begin{aligned}
|
|||
|
|
d(a, b) + 2d(s, c) & = d(s, c) + d(c, b) + d(s, c) + d(c, a) \\
|
|||
|
|
& < d(s, x) + d(s, c) + d(c, b).
|
|||
|
|
\end{aligned}
|
|||
|
|
$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>I claim that $d(x, b) = d(s, x) + d(s, b)$. If not, then by the triangle inequality we must have a strict less-than. In other words, there is some path from $x$ to $b$ which does not go through $c$. This gives the contradiction, because it implies there is a cycle formed by concatenating these paths. Then we have</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>$$d(a, b) < d(a, b) + 2d(s, c) < d(x, b).$$</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Since it is assumed that $d(a, b)$ is maximal among all pairs, we have a contradiction. Therefore, since trees have $|V| - 1$ edges, we can run $\text{BFS}$ a single time in $O(V)$ to obtain one of the vertices which is the endpoint of the longest simple path contained in the graph. Running $\text{BFS}$ again will show us where the other one is, so we can solve the diameter problem for trees in $O(V)$.</p>

<p>If we perform a breadth first search where we consider the neighbors of a vertex as they appear in the ordering $\{s, v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4, t\}$, the first path that we will find is $s, v_1, v_3, t$. The min capacity of this augmenting path is $12$, so we send $12$ units along it. We perform a $\text{BFS}$ on the resulting residual network. This gets us the path $s, v_2, v_4, t$. The min capacity along this path is $4$, so we send $4$ units along it. Then, the only path remaining in the residual network is $\{s, v_2, v_4, v_3, t\}$ which has a min capacity of $7$, since that's all that's left, we find it in our $\text{BFS}$. Putting it all together, the total flow that we have found has a value of $23$.</p>

<p>First, we pick an augmenting path that passes through vertices 1 and 6. Then, we pick the path going through 2 and 8. Then, we pick the path going through 3 and 7. Then, the resulting residual graph has no path from $s$ to $t$. So, we know that we are done, and that we are pairing up vertices $(1, 6)$, $(2, 8)$, and $(3, 7)$. This number of unit augmenting paths agrees with the value of the cut where you cut the edges $(s, 3)$, $(6, t)$, and $(7, t)$.</p>

<p>When we reach vertex $v$, the last vertex in the topological sort, it must have $out\text-degree$ $0$. Otherwise there would be an edge pointing from a later vertex to an earlier vertex in the ordering, a contradiction. Thus, the body of the for-loop of line 4 is never entered for this final vertex, so we may as well not consider it.</p>
