Question
] In the derivation of the spectral graph partitioning algorithm, we relax a combinatorial optimization
problem to a continuous optimization problem. This relaxation has the following effects.
The combinatorial problem requires an exact bisection of the graph, but the continuous algorithm can produce (after rounding) partitions
that aren’t perfectly balanced
The combinatorial problem cannot be modified to accommodate vertices that have different
masses, whereas the continuous problem can
The combinatorial problem requires finding
eigenvectors, whereas the continuous problem requires only matrix multiplication
The combinatorial problem is NP-hard, but
the continuous problem can be solved in polynomial time

Weights and Source Node All problems use weights wi through w7. To determine these weights, look at your 7 digit ID. The weight wi corresponds to the first digit of your ID, the weight w2 corresponds to the second digit of your ID, and so on. For problems 2 and 4, we use a source node or starting node s, determined as follows: find the digit in your ID that has the highest value. If it is the first digit then s = a, if it is the second digit, then s = b, and so on. If there is more than one digit with the same highest value, choose the first occurrence of that digit. For example, if your ID is 4526767, then the highest value is 7, and you choose the first 7, i.e., digit 5, and set s = е.arrow_forwardWe know that if the heuristic function in A* is good enough, then A* can always find a shortest weighted path between two vertices, and is generally much faster than Dijkstra. Assume we are using a graph where a good heuristic function is well defined for A*, such that A* can always find the same shortest paths as Dijkstra. Briefly explain when you should choose Dijkstra over A* in this case.arrow_forward
- A directed acyclic graph (DAG) is called a lattice if it has one vertex reach-able from any other vertex (sink), and one vertex such that every other vertex can bereached from it (source).

As input, you receive an undirected graph G = (V, E). As output, you must decide if G contains an independent set UCV such that U contains at least 99% of the vertices in V (that is, JU| > 0.99|V|).
