CS6515 Exam 2 with correct answers

If graph G has more than |V | − 1 edges, and there is a unique heaviest edge, then this
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


edge cannot be part of a minimum spanning tree - correct answer ✔False, because the
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


unique heaviest edge may not be part of a cycle
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




If G has a cycle with a unique heaviest edge e, then e cannot be part of any MST. -
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


correct answer ✔True, if the unique heaviest edge is part of a cycle then it will be
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


removed first. |!|




Let e be any edge of minimum weight in G. Then e must be part of some MST. - correct
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


answer ✔True, in order create the MST we use the edges with minimum weight.
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




If the lightest edge in a graph is unique, then it must be part of every MST. - correct
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


answer ✔True, we always choose the lightest edge when building the MST.
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




If e is part of some MST of G, then it must be a lightest edge across some cut of G. -
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


correct answer ✔True, due to cut property
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




If G has a cycle with a unique lightest edge e, then e must part of every MST. - correct
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


answer ✔False, lightest edge in a cycle may not be necessary to create an MST because
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


the remaining edges may be necessary to connect to the other vertices
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




The shortest-path tree computed by Dijkstra's algorithm is necessarily an MST - correct
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


answer ✔False, the shortest path may not visit all the nodes in the MST tree
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




The shortest path between two nodes is necessarily an MST - correct answer ✔False, the
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


shortest path between two nodes may not visit all the nodes in that make up an MST
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




If G contains an r-path from node s to t, then every MST of G must also contain an r-
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|


path from node s to node t.
