Problem 4: THE TRAVELING SALESPERSON PROBLEM a salesperson has five cities to visit and then must return home. The goal of the problem Suppose is to find the shortest path for the salesperson to travel, visiting each city, and then returning to the starting city. Figure 3.9 gives an instance of this problem. The nodes of the graph represent cities, and each arc is labeled with a weight indicating the cost of traveling that arc. This cost might be a representation of the miles necessary in car travel or cost off an air flight between the two cities

Problem 1 A jogger wants to follow the least undesirable cycle of roads starting at her home. Each road has an "index of undesirability" and can be traversed in either direction; the jogger must follow a nonempty cycle of roads and no road can be used twice. Formulated as a graph problem, the jogger has an undirected weighted graph G = (V, E), and must determine the nonempty cycle of minimum weight starting (and ending) at vertex s. 1. Show how to use multiple applications of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm to obtain the optimum jogger's route in time O(|V | 2 log |V | + |E||V |). Be precise: each time you want to use Dijkstra's explain which graph is the input of the algorithm, 2. Let T be the shortest path tree constructed by Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm for starting vertex s in G. Prove that some optimum jogger's route has all but one of its edges in T , and furthermore, that s is the lowest common ancestor in T of the end points of that edge. 3. Use the result in…
Given an undirected graph G=(V,E) with positive edge weights, solve the following problem. Let SG(u,v) signify the length of the shortest path between u and v in the graph G for any two nodes u and v. Is the following statement correct or incorrect? SG(u,v)8G(u,w) denotes SG" (u,v)8G" (u,w), where G" denotes the graph produced by doubling each of G's edge weights.
The multiple connected zones of Hamilton are shown in a planar map, in the following Fig.1. Drawthe planar graph for the following map (in Fig. 1) of multiple connected zones. Find out the minimum numberof frequencies needs to be used using graph theory, so that different zones of the following planar map areassigned with different frequencies (i.e., each zone operates at one single frequency) in such a way that noadjacent zones (i.e., zones with common borders) use the same frequency?

NP Complete Problem The Longest Path problem can be stated as a decision problem as follows: LongestPath Given a graph G = (V; E) and a positive integer k, is there a simple path in G that contains at least k edges. a) Use a reduction to prove that LongestPath is N P-Hard. b) If the graph used in the LongestPath problem is acyclic the longest pathcan be found in poly-time. Briefly explain how this could be done. What does this imply for the P vs NP question?
