Problem #104

Tags: graph representations

An isolated node in an undirected graph is a node that has no neighbors.

Suppose a graph \(G = (V, E)\) is represented using an adjacency matrix. What is the best possible worst-case time complexity of an efficient algorithm for computing the number of isolated nodes in the graph? State your answer as a function of \(|V|\) and \(|E|\) using asymptotic notation.

Solution

\(\Theta(V^2)\)

Problem #126

Tags: graph representations, aggregate analysis

Suppose a graph \(G = (V, E)\) is stored using an adjacency list representation in the variable adj_list. What is the time complexity of the below code?



for lst in adj_list:
    for u in lst:
        print(u)

Solution

\(\Theta(V + E)\)

Problem #139

Tags: graph representations

Let \(A\) be the adjacency matrix of the graph shown below:

Let \(\vec{a}^{(1)}\) be the first row of \(A\) and \(\vec{a}^{(2)}\) be the second row of \(A\). What is \(\vec{a}^{(1)}\cdot\vec{a}^{(2)}\)? That is, what is the dot product between the first row of \(A\) and the second row of \(A\)? Your answer should be in the form of a number.

It may help to recall that the dot product between vectors \(\vec x = (x_1, \ldots, x_d)^T\) and \(\vec y = (y_1, \ldots, y_d)^T\) is equal to \(x_1 y_1 + x_2 y_2 + \ldots + x_d y_d\).

Solution

4
