A Hamiltonian path on a directed graph G = (V, E) is a path that visits each vertex in V exactly once. Consider the following variants on Hamiltonian path:
(a) Give a polynomial-time algorithm to determine whether a directed graph G contains either a cycle or a Hamiltonian path (or both). Given a directed graph G, your algorithm should return true when a cycle or a Hamiltonian path or both and returns false otherwise. (b) Show that it is NP-hard to decide whether a directed graph G’ contains both a cycle and a Hamiltonian Path, by giving a reduction from the HAMILTONIAN PATH problem: given a graph G, decide whether it has a Hamiltonian path. (Recall that the HAMILTONIAN PATH problem is NP-complete.)
Suppose are you given an undirected graph G = (V, E) along with three distinct designated vertices u, v, and w. Describe and analyze a polynomial time algorithm that determines whether or not there is a simple path from u to w that passes through v. [Hint: By definition, each vertex of G must appear in the path at most once.]
Say that a graph G has a path of length three if there exist distinct vertices u, v, w, t with edges (u, v), (v, w), (w, t). Show that a graph G with 99 vertices and no path of length three has at most 99 edges.
