random walk - Hi
I would appreciate if you could help me with this question. Is the question below TRUE or FALSE and explain why ?
Question:
I have two random walks, both starting at 0 and with a reflecting boundary at 0. Each Step, Walk A goes up 1 with probability 1/2 and down 1 with probability 1/2(except at the boundary). Each step, Walk B goes up 1 with probability 1/3 and down 1 ...
Prime numbers - 6301 is prime. If x, y, and z are integers that are not divisible by 6301, which of the following is equal to x^6299.y^12600.z^18903 mod 6301 ?
(a) xyz
(b) yz2/x2
(c) z3/x
(d) 1/(x2 y2)
(e) none of the above
network flow - Hi
Consider any graph G with edge capacities, a source s, and a sink t. Suppose the maximum flow from s to t is greater than 0, so there is a path from s to t. Then there always exists an edge so that increasing the capacity on the edge increases the maximum flow from s to t.
Is Answer True or False
Thanks
Primality - Which of the following is true.
a) 16 is a non-trivial square root of 1 modulo 51; hence 51 is composite
b) 7 is a non-trivial square root of 1 modulo 47; hence 47 is composite
c) 8 is a non-trivial square root of 1 modulo 55; hence 55 is composite
d) all of the above
e) None of the above
Travelling salesman problem - Hi
It's a TRUE or FALSE question. Please say if this is True or False and why why.
Question:
===================
The planar 2-approximation algorithm for the Travelling salesman problem will also work in three-dimentional space.
