Consider a weighted, directed graph G with n vertices and m edges that have integer weights. A graph walk is a sequence of not-necessarily-distinct vertices vi, v2, --- , Vk such that each pair of consecutive vertices vi, Vi+1 are connected by an edge. This is similar to a path, except a walk can have repeated vertices and edges. The length of a walk in a weighted graph is the sum of the weights of the edges in the walk. Let s, t be given vertices in the graph, and L be a positive integer. We are interested counting the number of walks from s to t of length exactly L. Assume all the edge weights are positive. Describe an algorithm that computes the number of graph walks from sto t of length exactly L in O((n+ m)L) time. Prove the correctness and analyze the running time.

One can manually count path lengths in a graph using adjacency matrices. Using the simple example below, produces the following adjacency matrix: A B A 1 1 B 1 0 This matrix means that given two vertices A and B in the graph above, there is a connection from A back to itself, and a two-way connection from A to B. To count the number of paths of length one, or direct connections in the graph, all one must do is count the number of 1s in the graph, three in this case, represented in letter notation as AA, AB, and BA. AA means that the connection starts and ends at A, AB means it starts at A and ends at B, and so on. However, counting the number of two-hop paths is a little more involved. The possibilities are AAA, ABA, and BAB, AAB, and BAA, making a total of five 2-hop paths. The 3-hop paths starting from A would be AAAA, AAAB, AABA, ABAA, and ABAB. Starting from B, the 3-hop paths are BAAA, BAAB, and BABA. Altogether, that would be eight 3-hop paths within this graph. Write a program…
5. (This question goes slightly beyond what was covered in the lectures, but you can solve it by combining algorithms that we have described.) A directed graph is said to be strongly connected if every vertex is reachable from every other vertex; i.e., for every pair of vertices u, v, there is a directed path from u to v and a directed path from v to u. A strong component of a graph is then a maximal subgraph that is strongly connected. That is all vertices in a strong component can reach each other, and any other vertex in the directed graph either cannot reach the strong component or cannot be reached from the component. (Note that we are considering directed graphs, so for a pair of vertices u and v there could be a path from u to v, but no path path from v back to u; in that case, u and v are not in the same strong component, even though they are connected by a path in one direction.) Given a vertex v in a directed graph D, design an algorithm for com- puting the strong connected…

You are given a bipartite graph G=(U,V,E), and an integer K. U and V are the two bipartitions of the graph such that |U| = |V| = N , and E is the edge set. The vertices of U are {1,2,...,N } and that of V are {N+1,N+2,...,2N }. You need to find out whether the total number of different perfect matchings in G is strictly greater than K or not. Recall that a perfect matching is a subset of E such that every vertex of the graph belongs to exactly one edge in the subset. Two perfect matchings are considered to be different even if one edge is different. Write a program in C++ programming language that prints a single line containing “Perfect” if the number of perfect matchings is greater than K, and “Not perfect” in other cases.Sample Input:3 5 21 42 62 53 53 5Output:Not Perfect
