We use Huffman's algorithm to obtain an encoding of alphabet with frequencies . In each of the following cases, either give an example of frequencies that would yield the specified code, or explain why the code cannot possibly be obtained (no matter what the frequencies are).
(a) Code:
(b) Code:
(c) Code:
Design a linear-time algorithm for the following task.
Input: A connected, undirected graph.
Question:Is there an edge you can remove fromwhile still leavingconnected?
Can you reduce the running time of your algorithm to?
Ternary Huffman. Trimedia Disks Inc. has developed 鈥渢ernary鈥 hard disks. Each cell on a disk can now store values 0,1, or 2(instead of just 0 or 1). To take advantage of this new technology, provide a modified Huffman algorithm for compressing sequences of characters from an alphabet of size n, where the characters occur with known frequencies f1, f2,...., fn. Your algorithm should encode each character with a variable-length codeword over the values 0,1,2, such that no codeword is a prefix of another codeword and so as to obtain the maximum possible compression. Prove that your algorithm is correct
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.
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鈥檛 correct). Always assume that the graph is undirected. Do not assume that edge weights are distinct unless this is specifically stated.
