Question

Transcribed Image Text:Sketch an algorithm, in loose/high-level pseudocode, to find and return a "choke point" in a graph, if
one exists. A "choke point" will be a vertex such that, if it is removed, the graph is not connected.
You may return Null if none exists.
a) To avoid reinventing the wheel, you should use an algorithm, or parts of algorithms, presented
in class. State any modifications you might make.
b) Assume the graph is undirected, connected, and unweighted.
c) Efficiency is not a concern, as long as your solution remains polynomial.
/Input: A graph G
/Output: A vertex that is a "choke point" or Null if none exists

- 1. Run DFS-with-timing on this graph G: give the pre and post number of each vertex. Whenever there is a choice of vertices to explore, always pick the one that is alphabetically first. 2. Draw the meta-graph of G. 3. What is the minimum number of edges you must add to G to make it strongly connected (i.e., it consists of a single connected component after adding these edges)? Give such a set of edges. b.arrow_forwardOne can model a maze by having a vertex for a starting point, a finishing point, dead ends, and all the points in the maze where more than one path can be taken, and then connecting the vertices according to the paths in the maze. a. Construct such a graph for the following maze. 鷗 b. Which traversal DFS or BFS- would you use if you found yourself in a maze and why?arrow_forward1. Input: An undirected weighted graph G = (V, E, w)2. Output: An MST T = (V, E) of G3. T ← Ø4. Sort edges of G in non-increasing order and place them in a queue Q.5. repeat6. Remove the first edge (u, v) from Q and add it to T if it does not form a cyclewith the edges edge that are already included in T .7. until there are n − 1 edges in T .We can use union-find data structure to find whether the two endpoints of theselected edge are in the same set (the current MST fragment). It can be shown thatthis algorithm is correct and has a time complexity of O(m log n) [1].Give Python Implementation of algoarrow_forward
- Can you help me solve this exercise? Please note that the greedy approach described in the advice paragraph does not work.arrow_forwardYou are given a weighted tree T.(As a reminder, a tree T is a graph that is connected and contains no cycle.) Each node of the tree T has a weight, denoted by w(v). You want to select a subset of tree nodes, such that weight of the selected nodes is maximized, and if a node is selected, then none of its neighbors are selected.arrow_forwardWe recollect that Kruskal's Algorithm is used to find the minimum spanning tree in a weighted graph. Given a weighted undirected graph G = (V , E, W), with n vertices/nodes, the algorithm will first sort the edges in E according to their weights. It will then select (n-1) edges with smallest weights that do not form a cycle. (A cycle in a graph is a path along the edges of a graph that starts at a node and ends at the same node after visiting at least one other node and not traversing any of the edges more than once.) Use Kruskal's Algorithm to nd the weight of the minimum spanning tree for the following graph.arrow_forward
