An example of a maximum cut. In a graph, a maximum cut is a cut whose size is at least the size of any other cut. That is, it is a partition of the graph's vertices into two complementary sets S and T, such that the number of edges between S and T is as large as possible. Finding such a cut is known as the max-cut problem.
Another problem related to reachability queries is in quickly recalculating changes to reachability relationships when some portion of the graph is changed. For example, this is a relevant concern to garbage collection which needs to balance the reclamation of memory (so that it may be reallocated) with the performance concerns of the running ...
The problem asks, given an undirected graph, how many maximal independent sets it contains. This problem is #P-hard already when the input is restricted to be a bipartite graph. [15] The problem is however tractable on some specific classes of graphs, for instance it is tractable on cographs. [16]
Taking an example, the area under the curve y = x 2 over [0, 2] can be procedurally computed using Riemann's method. The interval [0, 2] is firstly divided into n subintervals, each of which is given a width of 2 n {\displaystyle {\tfrac {2}{n}}} ; these are the widths of the Riemann rectangles (hereafter "boxes").
The problem of constructing a solution for the graph realization problem with the additional constraint that each such solution comes with the same probability was shown to have a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the degree sequences of regular graphs by Cooper, Martin, and Greenhill. [5] The general problem is still unsolved.
The illustration on the right shows a maximum cut: the size of the cut is equal to 5, and there is no cut of size 6, or |E| (the number of edges), because the graph is not bipartite (there is an odd cycle). In general, finding a maximum cut is computationally hard. [3] The max-cut problem is one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems. [4]
In graph theory and theoretical computer science, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph.A path is called simple if it does not have any repeated vertices; the length of a path may either be measured by its number of edges, or (in weighted graphs) by the sum of the weights of its edges.
Taking a concave-up example, the left tangent prediction line underestimates the slope of the curve for the entire width of the interval from the current point to the next predicted point. If the tangent line at the right end point is considered (which can be estimated using Euler's Method), it has the opposite problem. [3]
