Q2) Consider the problem of finding a path in the grid shown below from the position s to the position g. A piece can move on the grid horizontally and vertically, one square at a time. No step may be made into a forbidden shaded area. 1. On the grid, number the nodes in the order in which they are removed from the frontier in a depth-first search from s to g, given that the order of the operators you will test is: up, left, right, then down. Assume there is a cycle check. 2. Number the nodes in order in which they are taken off the frontier for an A* search for the same graph. Manhattan distance should be used as the heuristic function. The Manhattan distance between two points is the distance in the x-direction plus the distance in the y-direction. It corresponds to the distance traveled along city streets arranged in a grid. For example, the Manhattan distance between g and s is 4. What is the path that is found? 3. Based on this experience, discuss which of the two algorithms is best suited for this problem. 4. Suppose that the graph extended infinitely in all directions...

Construct the Network diagram. 2. Check the network diagram. 3. Add durations to the activities. 4. Identify all paths through the network. 5. Identify the critical path (CP) and scheduled duration. 6. Calculate slack times (float) for each activity. 1. Construct the Network diagram. Using the AIB method: Draw a box on the left labeled "Start" Add boxes to the right of this box for activities with no predecessors, in the example A, and B. Connect these boxes to the box labeled start, but not to each other! I always start with box A at the top, and others in sequence underneath, vertically. Add arrows to the end of the lines where they connect to the activity (A and B) boxes. (This is important for step 4). Draw a box to the right of activity A for any activities which list A as a predecessor. (C in our example). Connect this box to activity A, don't forget the arrow! Draw a box to the right of activity B for any activities which list B as a predecessor. (D in our example). Connect this box to activity B, don't...

Basics of Kernel Density Estimation • Let’s say you have a bunch of points drawn from some distribution • What’s the distribution that generated these points? Using a Parametric Model • Could fit a parametric model (like a Gaussian) • Why: – Can express distribution with a few number of parameters (like mean and variance) Non-Parametric Methods • We’ll focus on kernel-density estimates • Basic Idea: Use the data to define the distribution • Intuition: – If I were to draw more samples from the same probability distribution, then those points would probably be close to the points that I have already drawn – Build distribution by putting a little mass of probability around each data-point • Why not: – Limited in flexibility Example Formally Kernel • Most Common Kernel: Gaussian or Normal Kernel • Another way to think about it: (From Tappen – Thesis) – Make an image, put 1(or more) wherever you have...

...Length: 3 Parts: See Assignment Details Points Possible: 75 Graphs and Trees Task Background: Graphs and trees provide you with ways to visualize data sets, and the opportunity to do analysis on the data (e.g., shortest path). Knowing the structure of a database enables you to choose a proper algorithm for searching for data within a database. Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write up to 3 paragraphs that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Part I (25 points – distributed as follows) Trees are somewhat less complicated than graphs, which makes things like data searching easier, when a data has the structure of a tree. However, not all data can be represented by a tree. Give an example of a data set that cannot be represented by a tree, but that can be represented by a more general graph. 1) Create, show, and describe your data set. (5 points) V = {Bill, John, Kim, James, Chris, Destiny, Noah, Paul} E = {(Bill, John), (Kim, James), (Chris, Destiny), (Noah, Paul), (Bill, Kim), (John, Chris), (Destiny, Noah)} These are people that are employees at a store. Some work on the same shift together and associate with each other. 2) Then, show by building a graph, how your data is represented by a graph. (5 points) Bill Bill John John Chris Chris Kim Kim ...

...Phase 3 DB Graphs and Trees Elie De Jesus MATH203-1302A-01 – Discrete Mathematics Professor Andrew Halverson April 24, 2013 Part I Graphs and trees are a little more complicated to understand than what I thought. Based on the information that I found they give you a way to visualize your sets and use the data that you have to find the shortest path. So because of this it shows that Trees cannot contain a cycle, so a set would be Y=COS(X); which can be a general graph but not a tree. The one example that I understood was the one about “the mileage on a bike”. Now I don’t quite understand the example but it shows that the graph would have a decrease in mileage where as it would increase in time. That is not how a tree is explained because there is no sequence to be shown for the data. This is the examples graph: So based on that example I understand that the tree encoding defines a root node or one path between two nodes that represent the output of a solution. A tree is still a graph but without multiple paths. So to be a tree it has to start from any node and be able to reach another, there can be no cycles, and you must have more nodes that edges. Part II To first answer this question one must know the meaning of a Breadth-first or a Depth-first. A Breadth-first search is a strategy for searching in a graph when search is limited to essentially two operations: (a) visit and inspect a node of a graph; (b) gain access to visit the nodes that neighbor the currently...

...Q1. The above represents a random looking undirected graph where the circles represent nodes and the boundary circumscribes all the nodes of the graph. The length of the segment joining two nodes represents the length of the shortest path from one node to another. Let’s assume nodes A and B are the farthest pair of nodes according to the definition in the question. Thus A and B have to be on the circumscribing boundary. Thus AB represents the diameter of the graph. Let C be any random node in the graph. Let D be a point which is farthest away from C. So if a BFS is launched on node C, the depth(in terms of the summation of the edges) of the BFS tree rooted at C will be equal to CD. As a result CD >= CA and CD>=CB. Now let AB = d. So from triangle inequality CA+CB>=d. Thus d/2 <= max(CA,CB)<=d. Now since CD is greater than or equals to both CA and CB, it has to be greater than or equals to d/2 as well. CD has to be less than d as well because if not then CD would have been the diameter. But that is not the case. Hence d/2<=CD<=d thus if we can find the length of CD we are done with approximating the value of the diameter within a factor of 2 and that we can do by creating BFS tree from C and calculating depth of the tree which is nothing but...

...Task Background: Graphs and trees are useful in visualizing data and the relations within and between data sets. Conversely, it is also important to be able to represent graphs as databases or arrays, so that programs for processing the data can be written. Part I: Adjacency Matrix and Shortest Path Construct a graph based on the adjacency matrix that appears below. Label all nodes with indices consistent with the placement of numbers within the matrix. ⌈0 | 6 | 0 | 5 | 0⌉ | | 6 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 | | | 0 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 8 | | | 5 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | | ⌊0 | 3 | 8 | 0 | 0⌋ | | | | | | * Describe the graph and why it is consistent with the matrix. The Graph above is an undirected graph. As the lines are not directed towards a particular node, the lines or edges go both ways. It is consistent with the matrix because the matrix is defining the edges. * How many simple paths are there from vertex 1 to vertex 5? Explain. There are 3 paths. 1-2-5, 1-2-3-5, 1-4-3-5. * Which is the shortest of those paths? That would be the 1-2 path. As the sum equals 9 and is the shortest path. 1-2-3-5=15 and 1-4-3-5=17 Part II: Trees * Construct and describe a tree that indicates the following: * A college president has 2 employees who answer directly to him or her, namely a vice president and provost. * The vice president and provost each have an administrative assistant. * Three deans answer to the provost, and the heads of finance and alumni relations...

Exercise 3 The graph is not a tree, because not all of the vertices of the graph are connected. Thus, there is no an existing unique path between some vertices. Exercise 9 The height of the tree in the Exercise 8 is 4 Exercise 10 [pic] The height of this tree is 5 Exercise 12 An example of the hierarchical relationship is a family tree: [pic] Section 9.2 Exercise 5 Siblings of Ares: Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. Exercise 6 [pic] Exercise 8 The parent of c is b, while the parent of j is e. Exercise 9 The children of d are h and i, while the only child of e is j. Exercise 11 The siblings of f are e and g. The sibling of h is i. Exercise 12 The terminal vertices are: j, f, g, h, i. Exercise 18 If two vertices in a rooted tree have same ancestors, they must share same simple path to their parent, which means that they are siblings. Exercise 19 The only vertex in the rooted tree, that does not have ancestors, is a root itself. Exercise 20 By definition, a tree cannot have two vertices sharing a child, because this will create two possible paths to that child and will violate the definition of a tree. Exercise 21 A vertex in a rooted tree that has no decedents is a leaf (a terminal vertex). Exercise 29 According to the Theorem 9.2.3, if a graph is a tree, then it is acyclic and has n – 1 edges.

...8. Figure 11.10 shows an undirected graph representing a section of a department store. The vertices indicate where cashiers are located; the edges denote unblocked aisles between cashiers. The department store wants to set up a security system where (plainclothes) guards are placed at certain cashier locations so that each cashier either has a guard at his or her location or is only one aisle away from a cashier who has a guard. What is the smallest number of guards needed? I think {a}→{a,d,e,b},{i}→{i,h,e,j},{g}→{f,c,k,g}, where {x}→{T} is meant that we put a guard at x that covers all elements in T. Now we have to prove that we cant get what we desire with a smaller number of guards. Therefore we take 2 guards, and if not possible with 2 its not with one, as well. To cover the elements in the set {d,e,h} we requires 2 guards from {d,e,h,I,a}. If it is the 2nd case then no guards from this set can cover for instance g, Therefore we would have once again at least 3 guards. 11. Let G be a graph that satisfies the condition in Exercise 10. (a) Must G be loop-free? (b) Could G be a multigraph? (c) If G has n vertices, can we determine how many edges it has? Eliminating an edge from the loop will still lead to a connected graph, therefore it is a necessity. It cant be since eliminating from a vertex with degree more than 1 will still result in a connected graph. It can be verified that these sorts of graphs are tress, therefore the number of edges...

...ZigBee network technology is used for low data rate Wireless Personal Area Networks that requires long battery life and is affordable. The ZigBee protocol refers to the entire network protocol stack. ZigBee applications run on top of ZigBee network, MAC and physical layers. A ZigBee network is capable of supporting up to 65,535 nodes. ZigBee network is used in many areas such as environmental monitoring systems, personal health care and consumer electronics. In ZigBee network the nodes can be mobile and fixed. 1.2 ZigBee Topologies The three ZigBee network device types are end device, router and coordinator. ZigBee support three kinds of topologies. These are star, tree and mesh. In all topologies the ZigBee network must contain one coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for allowing other devices to join the network, selecting transmission channels and for starting the ZigBee network. The coordinator can also route traffic and it’s the root node in tree and star topologies. ZigBee network supports single and multiple Personal Area Network (PAN). The routers only exist on tree and mesh topologies. The end devices in all ZigBee topologies can only communicate with their parent nodes; the router or coordinator. The three ZigBee topologies are described below. • Star – This is the most basic ZigBee topology. This topology usually consists of end devices and a coordinator. Routers can be part of the star topology, but they will simply function as end device and will not...
