Suppose that we generate a random graph G = (V, E) on the vertex set V = {1, 2, . . . , n} in the following way.

For each pair of vertices i, j ∈ V with i < j, we flip a fair coin, and we include the edge i−j in E if and only if the coin comes up heads.

How many edges should we expect G to contain?

How many cycles of length 3 should we expect G to contain?

Answer #1

The number of edges in G depend on the flip of the coin.

Since the coin is fair, the probability to include any edge is 1/2.

Since the number of vertices is n, there are n(n-1) pair of vertices in a random graph.

So each of edges get added with probability p=1/2 and any two edges in the graph are added with probability .

Thus, there are edges in the graph.

You are given a directed acyclic graph G(V,E), where each vertex v that has in-degree 0 has a value value(v) associated with it.

Design an O(n + m) time algorithm to compute value(u) for all vertices u where n denotes the number of vertices and m denotes the number of edges...

Suppose that G is a graph and a and b are vertices in G such that a does not =b. Prove that if there is a walk from a to b, then there is a path from a to b. A walk in the graph is a sequence of vertices where there is an edge between each pair a_i and a_(i+1). The length of a walk is n. If a_0=a_n, ie if the walk begins and ends at the same...

Let n be a positive integer, and let Hn denote the graph whose vertex set is the set of all n-tuples with coordinates in {0, 1}, such that vertices u and v are adjacent if and only if they differ in one position. For example, if n = 3, then (0, 0, 1) and (0, 1, 1) are adjacent, but (0, 0, 0) and (0, 1, 1) are not. Answer the following with brief justification (formal proofs not necessary): a....
