Algorithms On Graphs I (Part 2) PDF

The document outlines a mathematics test focusing on algorithms related to graph theory, specifically Floyd's algorithm for finding shortest paths. It includes tasks such as performing iterations of the algorithm and explaining how to determine shortest routes between towns based on given distance matrices. The test requires students to demonstrate their understanding through calculations and explanations of the results.

Decision Mathematics 1 Unit Test 7: Algorithms on graphs I (part 2)

1 Figure 5 shows roads connecting five towns. The numbers show distances in
kilometres.

Figure 5

These are the distance and route matrices after the third iteration of Floyd’s
algorithm:

a Perform the fourth iteration. (4 marks)


There are no changes on the fifth iteration.
b Explain how to find the shortest distance and route from town C to town A using
your answer from part a.
State the route and the distance. (4 marks)

2 Figure 6 shows a network with the weights on the arcs representing distances.

Figure 6

a Apply Floyd’s algorithm to find the complete network of shortest distances.


You should show both the distance table and the route table after each iteration. (9 marks)

b Explain how to use your final matrix to find the shortest route from vertex A to
vertex C.
