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…

- We know that when we have a graph with negative edge costs, Dijkstra’s algorithm is not guaranteed to work. (a) Does Dijkstra’s algorithm ever work when some of the edge costs are negative? Explain why or why not. (b) Find an algorithm that will always find a shortest path between two nodes, under the assumption that at most one edge in the input has a negative weight. Your algorithm should run in time O(m log n), where m is the number of edges and n is the number of nodes. That is, the runnning time should be at most a constant factor slower than Dijkstra’s algorithm. To be clear, your algorithm takes as input (i) a directed graph, G, given in adjacency list form. (ii) a weight function f, which, given two adjacent nodes, v,w, returns the weight of the edge between them. For non-adjacent nodes v,w, you may assume f(v,w) returns +1. (iii) a pair of nodes, s, t.
