Let G be a graph, and let T, T' be spanning trees in G. Show that if e is an edge in T, then there is an edge e in T' such that the graph obtained by adding the edge e, to T-e is again a span...
Let e be the unique lightest edge in a graph G. Let T be a spanning tree of G such that e /∈ T . Prove using elementary properties of spanning trees (i.e. not the cut property) that T is not a minimum spanning tree of G.
Let G=(V, E) be a connected graph with a weight w(e) associated with each edge e. Suppose G has n vertices and m edges. Let E’ be a given subset of the edges of E such that the edges of E’ do not form a cycle. (E’ is given as part of input.) Design an O(mlogn) time algorithm for finding a minimum spanning tree of G induced by E’. Prove that your algorithm indeed runs in O(mlogn) time. A minimum...

Problem 3's picture are given below. 5. (a) Let G = (V, E) be a weighted connected undirected simple graph. For n 1, let cycles in G. Modify {e1, e2,.. . ,en} be a subset of edges (from E) that includes no Kruskal's algorithm in order to obtain a spanning tree of G that is minimal among all the spanning trees of G that include the edges e1, e2, . . . , Cn. (b) Apply your algorithm in (a)...
You are given an undirected graph G with weighted edges and a minimum spanning tree T of G. Design an algorithm to update the minimum spanning tree when the weight of a single edge is increased. The input to your algorithm should be the edge e and its new weight: your algorithm should modify T so that it is still a MST. Analyze the running time of your algorithm and prove its correctness.
You are given an undirected graph G with weighted edges and a minimum spanning tree T of G. Design an algorithm to update the minimum spanning tree when the weight of a single edge is decreased. The input to your algorithm should be the edge e and its new weight; your algorithm should modify T so that it is still a MST. Analyze the running time of your algorithm and prove its correctness.
SPANNING TREE AND GRAPH C++ (use explanation and visualization if needed) and also provide an algorithm Do not need to provide code or a description of the algorithm in that case. Let G be a simple, undirected graph with positive integer edge weights. Suppose we want to find the maximum spanning tree of G. That is, of all spanning trees of G, we want the one with the highest total edge weight. If there are multiple, any one of them...
1) Professor Sabatier conjectures the following converse of Theorem 23.1. Let G=(V,E) be a connected, undirected graph with a real-valued weight function w defined on E. Let A be a subset of E that is included in some minimum spanning tree for G, let (S,V−S) be any cut of G that respects A, and let (u,v) be a safe edge for A crossing (S,V−S). Then, (u,v) is a light edge for the cut. Show that the professor's conjecture is incorrect...
Problem 3: Bounded-Degree Spanning Trees (10 points). Recall the minimum spanning tree problem studied in class. We define a variant of the problem in which we are no longer concerned with the total cost of the spanning tree, but rather with the maximum degree of any vertex in the tree. Formally, given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and T ⊆ E, we say T is a k-degree spanning tree of G if T is a spanning tree of G,...
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected connected graph that contains a cycle. Let k ∈ E be the edge with maximum weight among all edges in the cycle. Prove that G has a minimum spanning tree NOT including k.
