A round-robin tournament involving n plays is modeled with digraph D where, for every two distinct vertices (players) u and v, either (u,v) is an edge (player u defeats player v) or (v,u) is an edge (player v defeats play u). Prove that if D is acyclic, i.e., no directed cycles, then there always exists a player who has defeated everyone (out-degree is n – 1) and a player who has lost to everyone (in-degree is n – 1).

A round-robin tournament is an event wherein every competing team plays every other team once and only once. Assuming no ties, every game can be depicted on a graph G using a directed edge (x, y), where team x has defeated team y. (a) Assuming n teams participate in a round-robin tournament, how many vertices and edges will graph G depicting the tournament have? (b) Is it preferable to be a source or a sink in graph G? (c) Can...

pts) In a round-robin tennis tournament of players, every player plays against every other player exactly once and there is no draw. We call a player x a dominator if for every other player y either x has beaten y directly or x has beaten some player who has beaten y. By using mathematical induction, prove that for each integer n ≥ 2 at any round-robin tournament of n players, one can always find a dominator. In case 3, suppose...

There are n processes in a queue. Each process has namei and timei. The round-robin scheduling handles the processes in order. A round-robin scheduler gives each process a quantum (a time slot) and interrupts the process if it is not completed by then. The process is resumed and moved to the end of the queue, then the scheduler handles the next process in the queue. For example, we have the following queue with the quantum of 100ms. A(150) - B(80)...

(i) T(n) denote the number of distinct ways that a postage of n cents, where n ≥ 4 and n is even, can be made by 4-cent and 6-cent stamps. Find a recurrence relation T(n). NOTE [4,6] is the same as [6,4] so T(10) = 1 so T(n) is NOT T(n-4)+T(n-6) (ii) Now assume we have 10-cent stamps in addition to the previous 2 kinds. Find a recurrence relation, S(n), for the number of distinct ways that a postage of...

(i) T(n) denote the number of distinct ways that a postage of n cents, where n ≥ 4 and n is even, can be made by 4-cent and 6-cent stamps. Give a recursive algorithm (written in Python) to compute T(n) for n ≥ 4 and n is even. Brieﬂy explain why the algorithm is correct but no formal proof is required. NOTE [4,6] is the same as [6,4] so T(10) = 1. (ii) Now assume we have 10-cent stamps in...

1) : Briefly describe two entirely distinct processes involving protein degradation that are of central importance for the functioning of eukaryotic cells that form the body of animals. In your answer include a brief description of the key components involved in these processes. Also include a brief description of how these processes aid in the overall function of the organism. (2) : In the process of intracellular membrane vesicle transport in Eukaryotes neither the formation of such transport vesicles nor...

Consider inserting n distinct keys into a hash table with m buckets, where collisions are resolved by chaining and simple uniform hashing applies. 1. What is the probability that none of the n keys hashed to a particular bucket? 2. What is the expected number of empty buckets? 3. What is the expected number of collisions?

Two possible nuclear fusion reactions are d + d → 4He + γ and d + d → 4He + p , where d is deuterium

Two possible nuclear fusion reactions are d + d → 4He + γ and d + d → 4He + p , where d is deuterium, an atom with a nucleus composed of a proton bound to a neutron. 3He and 4He are helium atoms with nuclei consisting of two protons and one neutron (3He) or two protons and two neutrons (4He). Both of these reactions satisfy energy conservation. Which do you think occurs more quickly and why?

Suppose we have an economy where the population is the same every period, Nt = N and the money supply is increasing by z each period, i.e., Mt = zMt−1. The government uses the money it creates each period to finance a lump-sum subsidy of a ∗ goods to each old person. (a) (10 points) Find the equation for the budget set of an individual in the monetary equilibrium. Graph it. Show an arbitrary indifference curve tangent to the set...
