  1. Chapter 9Graph algorithms

  2. Sample Graph Problems • Path problems. • Connectedness problems. • Spanning tree problems.

  3. Graph Problem – An Example Graph coloring: Given a graph G, assign colors to vertices using as few colors as possible so that if there an edge between u and v, colors assigned to u and v must be different. How many colors do we need for this graph?

  4. Graph Problem – An Example How many colors do we need for this graph? Three colors are enough, but two is not enough.

  5. Graph Coloring applications • Graph coloring: Given a graph G, assign colors to vertices using as few colors as possible so that if there an edge between u and v, colors assigned to u and v must be different. • Applications: This problem has many different applications. • map coloring – this is the direct application. Countries are vertices, and adjacent countries (that share a boundary) are connected by an edge. • In real maps, adjacent countries are assigned different colors.

  6. Graph coloring Application 2: scheduling problem. Given is a list of courses, and for each course the list of students who want to register for it. The goal is to find a time slot for each course (using as few slots as possible). If a student is registered for courses p and q, add an edge between p and q. If the resulting class can be colored with k = the number of available slots (MFW 8 -9 , MWF 9 – 10 etc. are various slots), then we can find a schedule that will allow the students to take all the courses they want to.

  7. Another application of graph coloring Traffic signal design: At an intersection of roads, we want to install traffic signal lights which will periodically switch between green and red. The goal is to reduce the waiting time for cars before they get green signal. This problem can be modeled as a coloring problem. Each path that crosses the intersection is a node. If two paths intersect each other, there is an edge connecting them. Each color represents a time slot at which the path gets a green light.

  8. Application we will study • We will discuss in some detail an algorithm (known as Dijkstra’s algorithm) for finding the shortest path in a weighted graph. • This algorithm can be used to in applications like map-quest. (Map-quest actually uses a variant of this algorithm.)

  12. Connected Graph • Undirected graph. • There is a path between every pair of vertices.

  13. 2 3 8 1 10 4 5 9 11 6 7 Example of a graph Not Connected

  14. 2 3 8 1 10 4 5 9 11 6 7 Connected Graph Example

  15. 2 3 8 1 10 4 5 9 11 6 7 Connected Components

  16. Connected Component • A maximal subgraph that is connected. • Cannot add vertices and edges from original graph and retain connectedness. • A connected graph has exactly 1 component.

  17. 2 3 8 1 10 4 5 9 11 6 7 Communication Network Each edge is a link that can be constructed (i.e., a feasible link).

  18. Communication Network Problems • Is the network connected? • Can we communicate between every pair of cities? • Find the components. • Want to construct smallest number of feasible links so that resulting network is connected.

  19. 2 3 8 1 10 4 5 9 11 6 7 Cycles And Connectedness Removal of an edge that is on a cycle does not affect connectedness.

  20. Cycles And Connectedness 2 Connected subgraph with all vertices and minimum number of edges has no cycles. 3 8 1 10 4 5 9 11 6 7

  21. Tree • Connected graph that has no cycles. • n vertex connected graph with n-1 edges. • A connected graph in which removal of any edge makes it unconnected. • An cyclic graph in which addition of any edges introduces a cycle.

  22. Spanning Tree • Subgraph that includes all vertices of the original graph. • Subgraph is a tree. • If original graph has n vertices, the spanning tree has n vertices and n-1 edges.

  26. Graph Representation • Adjacency Matrix • Adjacency Lists • Linked Adjacency Lists • Array Adjacency Lists

  30. Adjacency Matrix • n2bits of space • For an undirected graph, may store only lower or upper triangle (exclude diagonal). • (n-1)n/2 bits • O(n) time to find vertex degree and/or vertices adjacent to a given vertex. • O(1) time to determine if there is an edge between two given vertices.

  31. 2 3 1 4 5 Adjacency Lists • Adjacency list for vertex i is a linear list ofvertices adjacent from vertex i. • An array of n adjacency lists. aList[1] = (2,4) aList[2] = (1,5) aList[3] = (5) aList[4] = (5,1) aList[5] = (2,4,3)

  32. 2 aList[1] 2 4 3 [2] 1 5 [3] 5 1 [4] 5 1 4 aList[5] 2 4 3 5 Linked Adjacency Lists • Each adjacency list is a chain. Array Length = n # of chain nodes = 2e (undirected graph) # of chain nodes = e (digraph)

  33. Weighted Graphs • Cost adjacency matrix. • C(i,j) = cost of edge (i,j) • Adjacency lists => each list element is a pair (adjacent vertex, edge weight)

  34. Single-source Shortest path problem • directed, weighted graph is the input • specified source s. • want to compute the shortest path from s to all the vertices.

  35. Example:

  36. Dijkstra’s algorithm: • Works when there are no negative weight edges. • takes time O(e log n) where e = number of edges, n = number of vertices. • suppose n ~ 105, e ~ 106, then the number of computations ~ 2 x 107

  37. Data structures needed: • Adjacency list rep. of graph • a heap • some additional structures (e.g. array) .

  38. key operation: relaxation on edge For each node v, the algorithm assigns a value d[v] which gets updated and will in the end become the length of the shortest path from s to v.
