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.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

This problem is identical to that of Traveling salesman problem where need to add one variant to it, that is to find relevant benefit by computing optimal distance. This problem is solved by dynamic programming approach.

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

Algorithm for traveling salesman problem.

Let G be the garage is g1,g2,g3...........gnand the P (G,j) is the gain function. Also assume that 'j'is the last garage we will visit before we reach back to origin.

Given: d0jis the transportation cost from traveling gitogjto . Then compute Maximum of (gj-d0j)

Ifvi is the gain from garage gi. Then, the base case, P0,j=vj-d0j. This means the garage salesman have travel from origin is the starting point to garagegj.

, This is the recursive equation.

PG,j=maxPG-gi,i+pj-dij

P0,1=VJ-d0jfors=2tonPG,1=forj=1tonPG,1=maxPG-gii+pj-dijreturnPG,j

Hence by using, the algorithm which is closely related to the traveling salesman problem in which the shortest distance is to find between the starting node as source node to the end node called as destination node. 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 gitogj.tour of a subset of the given garage sales, starting and ending at home is evaluated.

So, In this problem, the number of sub problems are n22nand to solve each sub problem, it takes time. So, total complexity is On22n.

Exon chaining.Each gene corresponds to a subregion of the overall genome (the DNA sequence); however, part of this region might be 鈥渏unk DNA.鈥 Frequently, a gene consists of several pieces called exons, which are separated by junk fragments called introns. This complicates the process of identifying genes in a newly sequenced genome.

Suppose we have a new DNA sequence and we want to check whether a certain gene (a string) is present in it. Because we cannot hope that the gene will be a contiguous subsequence, we look for partial matches鈥攆ragments of the DNA that are also present in the gene (actually, even these partial matches will be approximate, not perfect). We then attempt to assemble these fragments.

Let x 1Kndenote the DNA sequence. Each partial match can be represented by a triple li,ri,wi, where xliKriis the fragment and is a weight

representing the strength of the match (it might be a local alignment score or some other statistical quantity). Many of these potential matches could be false, so the goal is to find a subset of the triples that are consistent (nonoverlapping) and have a maximum total weight.

Show how to do this efficiently.

Given two strings x=x1x2xnand y=y1y2ym, we wish to find the length of their longest common subsequence, that is, the largest k for which there are indices i1<i2<<ikand j1<j2<<jkwith xi1xi2xik=yj1yj2yjk. Show how to do this in time 0(mn).

Consider the following variation on the change-making problem (Exercise 6.17): you are given denominations x1,x2,...,xn, and you want to make change for a value v, but you are allowed to use each denomination at most once. For instance, if the denominations are 1,5,10,20,then you can make change for 16=1+15and for 31=1+10+20but not for 40(because you can鈥檛 use 20 twice).

Input: Positive integers; x1,x2,...,xnanother integer v.

Output: Can you make change for v, using each denominationxi at most once?Show how to solve this problem in time O(nV).

You are going on a long trip. You start on the road at mile post 0. Along the way there aren hotels, at mile posts a1<a2<...<an , where eachai is measured from the starting point. The only places you are allowed to stop are at these hotels, but you can choose which of the hotels you stop at. You must stop at the final hotel (at distance an), which is your destination. You鈥檇 ideally like to travel miles a day, but this may not be possible (depending on the spacing of the hotels). If you travel x miles during a day, the penalty for that day is (200x)2. You want to plan your trip so as to minimize the total penalty- that is, the sum, over all travel days, of the daily penalties.Give an efficient algorithm that determines the optimal sequence of hotels at which to stop

Optimal binary search trees. Suppose we know the frequency with which keywords occur in programs of a certain language, for instance:

begin5%do40%else8%end4%

if10%then10%while23%

We want to organize them in a binary search tree, so that the keyword in the root is alphabetically bigger than all the keywords in the left subtree and smaller than all the keywords in the right subtree (and this holds for all nodes). Figure 6.12 has a nicely-balanced example on the left. In this case, when a keyword is being looked up, the number of comparisons needed is at most three: for instance, in finding 鈥渨hile鈥, only the three nodes 鈥渆nd鈥, 鈥渢hen鈥, and 鈥渨hile鈥 get examined. But since we know the frequency 196 Algorithms with which keywords are accessed, we can use an even more fine-tuned cost function, the average number of comparisons to look up a word. For the search tree on the left, it is

cost=1(0.04)+2(0.40+0.10)+3(0.05+0.08+0.10+0.23)=2.42

By this measure, the best search tree is the one on the right, which has a cost of Give an efficient algorithm for the following task. Input: n words (in sorted order); frequencies of these words: p1,p2,...,pn.

Output: The binary search tree of lowest cost (defined above as the expected number of comparisons in looking up a word).
