You are given the arrival and departure times of trains reaching to a particular station. You need to find minimum number of platforms required to accommodate the trains at any point of time. Trains arrival = [9:00, 9:40, 9:50, 11:00, 15:00, 18:00] Trains departure = [9:10, 12:00, 11:20, 11:30, 19:00, 20:00] The situation can be solved by using few algorithms. However, it will reflect the complexity of the solution. You are required to solve the problem using, (a) Brute Force Algorithm i) Produce the complete algorithm ii) Calculate the minimum number of platforms based on algorithm in (a)(i) and show the process.

Recall Pigou’s example discussed in class, where there are two roads that connect a source, s, and destination, t. The roads have different travel costs. Fraction x1 of the traffic flow on route 1, and the remainder x2 on route 2. Here consider the following scenario. • The first road has “infinite” capacity but is slow and requires 1 hour travel time, T1 = 1. • The second road always requires at least 15 mins, which then increases as a function of traffic density, T2 = 0.25 + 0.75x2. If drivers act in a “selfish” manner – the user optimal scenario – all the traffic will flow on the second path, as one is never worse off. Worst case scenario for path 2, both paths take one hour. So no one is incentivized to change their behavior. 1. Assume user optimal behavior, and calculate τ the expected travel time per car. 2. If instead we could control the flows, we could minimize the expected travel time. Using the expression in part (a), calculate the optimal allocation of flows x¯1 and ¯x2…
A country has coins with k denominations 1 = d1 < d2 < ... < dk, and you want to make change for n cents using the smallest number of coins. For example, in the United States we have d1 = 1, d2 = 5, d3 = 10, d4 = 25, and the change for 37 cents with the smallest number of coins is 1 quarter, 1 dime, and 2 pennies, which are a total of 4 coins. To solve for the general case (change for n cents with k denominations d1 ... dk), we refer to dynamic programming to design an algorithm. 1. We will come up with sub-problems and recursive relationship for you. Let be the minimum number of coins needed to make change for n cents, then we have: Explain why the above recursive relationship is correct. [Formal proof is not required] 2. Use the relationship above to design a dynamic programming algorithm, where the inputs include the k denominations d1 ... dk and the number of cents n to make changes for, and the output is the minimum number of coins needed to make change for n.

Major Luna is sending military troops from his base (A) to the town of G. However, there is no direct route between A and G. Instead, the troops must pass through other places, namely: B, C, D, E, and F. The following routes are possible: A to B, A to C, B to F, C to D, C to E, D to G, E to G, and F to G. For some reason, such places can only accommodate a number of soldiers going through these places. B, C, D, E, and F has a capacity of 3, 3, 9, 6, and 4 soldiers. b. Solve the problem using the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm.
Consider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins. Assume that we live in a country where coins come in k dierent denominations c1, c2, . . . , ck, such that the coin values are positive integers, k ≥ 1, and c1 = 1, i.e., there are pennies, so there is a solution for every value of n. For example, in case of the US coins, k = 4, c1 = 1, c2 = 5, c3 = 10, c4 = 25, i.e., there are pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. To give optimal change in the US for n cents, it is sufficient to pick as many quarters as possible, then as many dimes as possible, then as many nickels as possible, and nally give the rest in pennies. Design a bottom-up (non-recursive) O(nk)-time algorithm that makes change for any set of k different coin denominations. Write down the pseudocode and analyze its running time. Argue why your choice of the array and the order in which you fill in the values is the correct one. Notice how it is a lot easier to analyze the running time of…

A group of n tourists must cross a wide and deep river with no bridge in sight. They notice two 13-year-old boys playing in a rowboat by the shore. The boat is so tiny, however, that it can only hold two boys or one tourist. How can the tourists get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat? How many times need the boat pass from shore to shore?
