Homework Assignments

1. Homework #0 - Due 11:59pm Tuesday - fill out this survey.
2. Homework #1 - Minimum Spanning Trees - Due 9:30pm Monday, Jan 28
   • You can assume all costs / bandwidths are distinct for all problems.
   • For problems asking for an algorithm: describe the algorithm, an argument why it is correct, and an estimation of how fast it will run. For this assignment, your argument about run times need not be sophisticated: just argue that it will be practical.
   • Due to a copy&paste error, the deadline for the homework was posted as 9:30PM above. Therefore, we will accept homeworks until that time without penality (i.e. the deadline for HW1 is 9:30PM Monday).
3. Homework #2 - Asymptotic Analysis - Due 9:30AM Monday, Feb. 4
4. Homework #3 - Graph Traversals - Due 9:30am Wednesday, Feb. 13
   • In problem 5, n is the number of nodes in the graph.
5. Homework #4 - Shortest Paths - Due 9:30am, Friday Feb. 22
6. Homework #5 - A* and Traveling Salesman - Due 9:30am, Monday Mar. 18
   • Some example inputs
7. Homework #6 - Divide and Conquer - Due 9:30am, Friday Mar. 29
   • In problem 2, the order of the items is given and fixed.
8. Homework #7 - Dynamic Programming - Due 9:30am, Wednesday, Apr. 10
   • In problem 1 and 2, you can assume all the numbers are integers
   • In the original problem 4, there was a mistake. The goal has now been changed to finding the maximum sum of the probabilities. See updated PDF above.
