How would you modify the dynamic programming algorithm for the coin collecting problem if some cells on the board are inaccessible for the robot? Apply your algorithm to the board below, where the inaccessible cells are shown by X’s. How many optimal paths are there for this board? You need to provide 1) a modified recurrence relation, 2) a pseudo code description of the algorithm, and 3) a table that stores solutions to the subproblems.
A graduate student is working on a problem X. After working on it for several days she is unable to find a polynomial-time solution to the problem. Therefore, she attempts to prove that he problem is NP-complete. To prove that X is NP-complete she first designs a decision version of the problem. She then proves that the decision version is in NP. Next, she chooses SUBSET-SUM, a well-known NP-complete problem and reduces her problem to SUBSET-SUM (i.e., she proves X £p SUBSET-SUM). Is her approach correct? Explain your answer.
Make a maximal covering problem and formulate it. And Convert that problem into the set covering problem including formulation. What happens?

- The Partitioning Problem: Given a set ofnpositive integers, partition the integers into two subsets of equal or almost equal sum. The goal is to partition the input numbers into two groups such that the difference between the sums of the elements in the two group is minimum or as small as possible. a) Since no polynomial solutions are known for the above problem, implement an exponential algorithm for finding the optimal solution for any instance of the problem and test it for small input samples. Identify the maximum input size for which an optimal solution is possible to obtain using your algorithm in reasonable time (for example 3 hours).

Here we assume that Yil is negative and Yi2 is positive to simplify the solution, i.e., all rectangles intersect with the x-axis. You are further given a set of n >= m points (a1, b1）,（a2，b2），．．．，（an，bn）， and would like to know whether each point is covered by at least one of the rectangles. Design an algorithm for this problem with a running time faster than O(mn), and analyze its correctness and running time.Hint: First use a divide-and-conquer algorithm to find the area covered by the rectangles, so that for any x-coordinate you can find the maximum and minimum y-coordinates covered by the rectangles. Then, process the points one by one.arrow_forward
- In this question you will explore the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP). (a) In every instance (i.e., example) of the TSP, we are given n cities, where each pair of cities is connected by a weighted edge that measures the cost of traveling between those two cities. Our goal is to find the optimal TSP tour, minimizing the total cost of a Hamiltonian cycle in G. Although it is NP-complete to solve the TSP, we found a simple 2-approximation by first generating a minimum-weight spanning tree of G and using this output to determine our TSP tour. Prove that our output is guaranteed to be a 2-approximation, provided the Triangle Inequality holds. In other words, if OP T is the total cost of the optimal solution, and AP P is the total cost of our approximate solution, clearly explain why AP P ≤ 2 × OP T.arrow_forwardconsider the problem of finding a minimum Pareto optimal matching. Let MIN-POM denote the problem deciding, given an instance I of POM and an integer K, whether I admits a Pareto optimal matching of size at most K.firstly prove that MIN-POM is NP-complete via a reduction from MMM, which is the problem of deciding, given a graph G and an integer K, whether G admits a maximal matching of size at most K.arrow_forwarddemonstrate the use of the periodic interval functions. Observe that since we have N points, and that we want points to be uniformly spaced throughout the interval including only the left end-point, then we must chose dr to be the length of the interval divided by N. Why only the left end- point? Recall that we want the domain to be periodic. Hence, the last point value should not be the right-hand end of the domain because this value is periodic with the left-hand value. So we chose da to be the length of the interval divided by N and not by (N-1).arrow_forward

The Boston house price problem is a problem of predicting the housing price of each town in Boston, USA using features such as the crime rate and air pollution in the area. It can be imported from the scikit-learn package. Find the weight vector x when the Boston house price problem is solved with the linear prediction model Ax=b. Matrix and vector data can be obtained as follows. Here, to simplify the problem, we limited the input data to crime rate (CRIM), air quality (NOX), number of rooms (RM), and age (AGE), and only four data were used. Run the code below to check whether the magnitude or sign of the weight vector obtained from running the program is consistent the common notion. In order to find it, interpret the printed output for all the factors: CRIM, NOX, RM and AGE.
