Show that if an undirected graph with n vertices has k connected components, then it has at least n - k edges.
Let be an undirected graph. Prove that if all its edge weights are distinct, then it has a unique minimum spanning tree
In this problem, we will develop a new algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees. It is based upon the following property:
Pick any cycle in the graph, and let e be the heaviest edge in that cycle. Then there is a minimum spanning tree that does not contain e.
(a) Prove this property carefully.
(b) Here is the new MST algorithm. The input is some undirected graph G=(V,E) (in adjacency list format) with edge weights {we}.sort the edges according to their weights for each edge , in decreasing order of we:
if e is part of a cycle of G:
G = G - e (that is, remove e from G )
return G , Prove that this algorithm is correct.
(c) On each iteration, the algorithm must check whether there is a cycle containing a specific edge . Give a linear-time algorithm for this task, and justify its correctness.
(d) What is the overall time taken by this algorithm, in terms of ? Explain your answer.
The following statements may or may not be correct, In each case, either prove it (if it is correct) or give a counter-example (if it isn’t correct). Always assume that the graph is undirected. Do not assume that edge weights are distinct unless this is specifically stated.
Give the state of the disjoint-sets data structure after the following sequence of operations, starting from singleton sets . Usepath compression. In the case of ties, always make the lower numbered root point to the higher numbered ones.
