Explanation of Solution

Given Information: A point of maximum overlap in a set of intervals is a point with the largest number of intervals in the set that overlap it.

Explanation:

Consider that there is no point of maximum overlap in an endpoint of a segment. The maximum overlap occurs in the interior of m segments. Here, the point P is the intersection of those m points.

There must be another point P that has the same overlap as P . Therefore, the point P is also a point of maximum overlap. Hence, the assumption is not true since there is a point of maximum overlap in an endpoint of maximum overlap.

Hence, it is proved that the there is always a point where maximum overlap has an endpoint of the segment.

(b)

Program Plan Intro

To show that there will always be a point where maximum overlap is an endpoint of one of the segments.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Consider a balanced binary tree of endpoints. For inserting the interval, it is necessary to insert the endpoints separately. Consider the endpoints as e . For left endpoint e , increase the value of e by 1 and for right endpoint e , decrease the overlap by 1.

For multiple endpoints with same value, insert the left endpoints with the value before the right endpoints with the value.

Consider that e1,e2,,en be the sequence of the endpoints and s(i,j) represents the sum. Therefore,

  p[e1]+p[ei+1]++p[ej]

Where 1ijn .

Here, each node x store the new node that includes the endpoints e1[x],...,er[x] . The sum of the values of all nodes is stored as v[x]=s(1[n],r[x]) and the maximum value id obtained by s(1[n],r[x]) .

For bottom up approach to satisfy the conditions of red black tree following conditions must be hold:

  m[x]=max{m[left[x]]v[left[x]]+p[x]v[left[x]]+p[x]+m[right[x]]

Consider a list of data components L[0:5] = 23, 14, 98, 45, 67, and 53. Let's look for the K = 53 key. Naturally, the search moves down the list, comparing key K with each element until it discovers it as the final element in the list. When looking for the key K = 110, the search moves forward but eventually drops off the list, making it a failed search. Write the algorithmic steps for both sorted and unordered linear searches, along with the times involved.
That's enough for you! def first_preceded_by_smaller(items, k=1): Find and return the 0irst element of the given list of items that is preceded by at least k smaller elements in the list. These required k smaller elements can be positioned anywhere before the current element, not necessarily consecutively immediately before that element. If no element satisfying this requirement exists in the list, this function should return None. Since the only operation performed for the individual items is their order comparison, and especially no arithmetic occurs at any point during execution, this function should work for lists of any types of elements, as long as those elements are pairwise comparable with each other. items k Expected result [4, 4, 5, 6] 2 5 [42, 99, 16, 55, 7, 32, 17, 18, 73] 3 18 [42, 99, 16, 55, 7, 32, 17, 18, 73] 8 None ['bob', 'carol', 'tina', 'alex', 'jack', 'emmy', 'tammy', 'sam', 'ted']…
The Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) is a transformation that is used in data compression algorithms, including bzip2, and in high-throughput sequencing in genomics. Write a SuffixArray client that computes the BWT in linear time, as follows: Given a string of length N (terminated by a special end-of-file character $ that is smaller than any other character), consider the N-by-N matrix in which each row contains a different cyclic rotation of the original text string. Sort the rows lexicographically. The Burrows-Wheeler transform is the rightmost column in the sorted matrix. For example, the BWT of Mississippi is ipssm$pissii. The Burrows-Wheeler inverse transform (BWI) inverts the BWT. For example, the BWI of ipssm$pissii is mississippi$. Also write a client that, given the BWT of a text string, computes the BWI in linear time.
