Suppose two teams, A and B, are playing a match to see who is the first to win games (for some particular n). We can suppose that A and B are equally competent, so each has a 50% chance of winning any particular game. Suppose they have already played i+j games, of which A has won i and B has won j. Give an efficient algorithm to compute the probability that A will go on to win the match. For example, if i=n-1 and j=n-3 then the probability that A will win the match is 78, since it must win any of the next three games.

Short Answer

Expert verified

To solve the given problem, use dynamic programming approach.78,i=n-1andj=n-3,i+j

Step by step solution

01

Dynamic programming approach.

In dynamic programming there are all possibilities and more time as compared to greedy programming. and the Dynamic programming approach always gives the accurate or correct answer. In dynamic programming have to compute only distinct function call because as soon as compute and store in one data structure so that after this reuse afterward if it is needed.

02

Defining Recursive Relation and Implementation of Algorithm.

Let us suppose P (i,j ) is the probability for A to win the first n games.

Given that, i = Number of match A has won

And j=Number of match B has won

So, there are two conditions they are,

If P (i,j )=1 where i > 0 and j=1 this mean the probability of A to win is ‘one’.

If P (i,j )=0 where i > 0 and j=1 , this means the probability of A for won is ‘zero’.

Now for rest of the value of 'i' and 'j' then the value of evaluations is,

pi,j=12Pi,j+1+Pi+1

After that let P (0,j ) is as zero or one then compare each situation.

P0,i=1andPi,1=0ifn-j>0andn-i=0Pn-i,j-i=1ifn-j=0andn-i>1

Here, A will go on to win the match. For example, if i=n-1 and j=n-3 then the probability that A will win the match is 78, since it must win any of the next three games.

ifn-i>1andn-j>1Pn-i,j-i=12Pi-1,j+Pi,j-2returnPn-i,j-i

By approach of dynamic programming for playing a match to see who is the first to win number of games where equally competent and each has fifty percent chance of winning any particular game and the probability that A will go for to win the match an A will go on to win the match. ifi=n-1 and j=n-3 then the probability that A will win and it will take time of O(n) Since, we are playing ‘n’ times, so our algorithm will trace output of n output. Thus, runtime would be O(n)

Cutting cloth. You are given a rectangular piece of cloth with dimensions X×Y, whereX and Yare positive integers, and a list of products that can be made using the cloth. For each producti∈[1,n] you know that a rectangle of cloth of dimensionsai×bi is needed and that the final selling price of the product is ci. Assume the,ai biandci are all positive integers. You have a machine that can cut any rectangular piece of cloth into two pieces either horizontally or vertically. Design an algorithm that determines the best return on theX×Y piece of cloth, that is, a strategy for cutting the cloth so that the products made from the resulting pieces give the maximum sum of selling prices. You are free to make as many copies of a given product as you wish, or none if desired.

Yuckdonald’s is considering opening a series of restaurant along Quaint Valley Highway(QVH). The n possible locations are along a straight line, and the distances of these locations from the start of QVH are, in miles and in increasing order,m1,m22,....,mn.. The constraints are as follows:

At each location, Yuckdonald may open at most one restaurant. The expected profit from opening a restaurant at location i is given aspi, wherepi>0andi=1,2,…,n.

Any two restaurants should be at least k miles apart, where k is a positive integer.

Give an efficient algorithm to compute the maximum expected total profit subject to the given constraints.

A contiguous subsequence of a list Sis a subsequence made up of consecutive elements of S. For instance, if Sis 5,15,−30,10,−5,40,10

then15,−30,10 is a contiguous subsequence but5, 15,40 is not. Give a linear-time algorithm for the following task:Input: A list of numbers a1,a2,...,an.

Output: The contiguous subsequence of maximum sum (a subsequence of length zero has sum zero).For the preceding example, the answer would be 10,−5,40,10, with a sum of 55. (Hint: For each j∈{1,2,...,n}, consider contiguous subsequences ending exactly at position j.)

The garage sale problem (courtesy of Professor Lofti Zadeh). On a given Sunday morning, there are n garage sales going on, g1,g2,g3............gn. For each garage sale gj, you have an estimate of its value to you, vj. For any two garage sales you have an estimate of the transportation cost dijof getting from gito gj. You are also given the costs d0jand dj0of going between your home and each garage sale. You want to find a tour of a subset of the given garage sales, starting and ending at home, that maximizes your total benefit minus your total transportation costs. Give an algorithm that solves this problem in time O(n22n).

(Hint: This is closely related to the traveling salesman problem.)

A subsequence is palindromic if it is the same whether read left to right or right to left. For instance, the sequence

A,C,G,T,G,T,C,A,A,A,A,T,C,G

has many palindromic subsequences, including A,C,G,C,Aand A,A,A,A(on the other hand, the subsequence A,C,Tis not palindromic). Devise an algorithm that takes a sequence X[1...n]and returns the (length of the) longest palindromic subsequence. Its running time should be0(n2).
