Suggest a straightforward algorithm which solves the following greedy algorithm correctly.

 

And estimate the time complexity of the straightforward algorithm.

(will leave a thumbs up)

 

 

 
3. An instance where the greedy algorithm gives an erroneous answer.
In this example, running the greedy algorithm
would give us a set with k = 6. However, from
an exhaustive search, a set of k = 5 satisfying
the conditions of the question can be found.

problem is because at some points during the process, there were several vertices which had
the same number of connected edges. If the algorithm were to pick at random, it might not pick
the vertex that can potentially lead to the best answer.
