- Now according to big-theta notation, we need to find the smallest number and separate it into one group and remaining in another group.

A tridiagonal matrix is one where the only nonzero elements are the ones on the main diagonal and the ones immediately above and below it.Write a function that solves a linear system whose coefficient matrix is tridiag- onal. In this case, Gauss elimination can be made much more efficient because most elements are already zero and don't need to be modified or added. As an example, consider a linear system Ax = b with 100,000 unknowns and the same number of equations. The coefficient matrix A is tridiagonal, with all elements on the main diagonal equal to 3 and all elements on the diagonals above and below it equal to 1. The vector of constant terms b contains all ones, except that the first and last elements are zero. You can use td to find that x1= −0.10557.
The following code format should help:
def td(l, m, u, b):

You are a computer research scientist at Tesla, and your task is to create a computer vision application for
self-driving cars to detect object and avoid collision. You know that Graham's scan is a method of
computing the convex hull of a finite set of points in the plane. You decide to apply this algorithm to
achieve the goal of your task.
a)
Suppose Graham's scan executes n points, where n >= 3. Prove that, at the end of the program, the stack
S consists of, from bottom to top, exactly the vertices of convex hull in counter-clockwise order.
The digital root of a positive integer is found by summing the digits of the integer. If the resulting
value is a single digit then that digit is the digital root. If the resulting value contains two or more
digits, those digits are summed and the process is repeated. This is continued as long as necessary to
obtain a single digit. For example, consider the positive integer 24. Adding the 2 and the 4 yields a
value of 6. Since 6 is a single digit, 6 is the digital root of 24. Now consider the positive integer 39.
Adding the 3 and the 9 yields 12. Since 12 is not a single digit, the process must be repeated. Adding
the 1 and the 2 yields 3, a single digit and also the digital root of 39.
Input File:
The input file will contain a list of positive integers, one per line. The end of the input will be
indicated by an integer value of zero.
Output File:
For each integer in the input, output its digital root on a separate line of the output.

- The puzzle called the Towers of Hanoi consists of three pegs, one of which contains several rings stacked in order of descending diameter from bottom to top. The problem is to move the stack of rings to another peg. You are allowed to move only one ring at a time, and at no time is a ring to be placed on top of a smaller one. Observe that if the puzzle involved only one ring, it would be extremely easy. Moreover, when faced with the problem of moving several rings, if you could move all but the largest ring to another peg, the largest ring could then be placed on the third peg, and then the problem would be to move the remaining rings on top of it. Using this observation, develop a recursive algorithm for solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle for an arbitrary number of rings.arrow_forwardWrite in python programming language: The Longest Subsequence Problem is a well-studied problem in Computer Science, where given a sequence of distinct positive integers, the goal is to output the longest subsequence whose elements appear from smallest to largest, or from largest to smallest. For example, consider the sequence S= [9,7,4,10,6,8,2,1,3,5]. The longest increasing subsequence of S has length three ([4,6,8] or [2,3,5]), and the longest decreasing subsequence of S has length five([9,7,4,2,1] or [9,7,6,2,1]). And if we have the sequence S = [531,339,298,247,246,195,104,73,52,31], then the length of the longest increasing subsequence is 1 and the length of the longest decreasing subsequence is 10.

Following is the problem statement: There are n people standing in a circle waiting to be executed. The counting out begins at some point (rear) in the circle and proceeds around the circle in a fixed direction. In each step, a certain number (k) of people are skipped and the next person is executed. The elimination proceeds around the circle (which is becoming smaller and smaller as the executed people are removed), until only the last person remains, who is given freedom. Given the total number of persons n and a number k which indicates that k-1 persons are skipped and kth person is killed in circle. The task is to choose the place in the initial circle so that you are the last one remaining and so survive. For example, if n = 5 and k = 2, then the safe position is 3. Firstly, the person at position 2 is killed, then person at position 4 is killed, then person at position 1…arrow_forward
- Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Positive integer x is called divisor of positive integer y, in case y is distinguishable by x without remaining portion. For instance, 1 is a divisor of 7 and 3 isn't divisor of 8. We gave you an integer d and requested that you track down the littlest positive integer a, to such an extent that a has no less than 4 divisors; contrast between any two divisors of an is essentially d. Input The primary line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤3000) — the number of experiments. The primary line of each experiment contains a solitary integer d (1≤d≤10000). Output For each experiment print one integer a — the response for this experiment.arrow_forwardThe Longest Subsequence Problem is a well-studied problem in Computer Science, where given a sequence of distinct positive integers, the goal is to output the longest subsequence whose elements appear from smallest to largest, or from largest to smallest.

Let us consider a branch of that company having N employees, if the manager is allotted to that branch(s) then he is known to everyone else in that branch. Note that the property of "known to everyone" is unique to a manager. Your task is to find the manager in that branch. Input from the user in main ( ), the square matrix M where if an element of row i and column j is set to 1 it means that ith person knows jth person. You need to write a function managerId ( ) which returns the id of the manager if present or else returns -1. The function managerId ( ) takes two arguments - the square matrix of N *N and its size N. Call managerId ( ) from the main ( ) output the information about the manager. Assume all diagonal elements to be 1 (as everyone knows him/herself) and there is at most one manager in the company.arrow_forwardOverflows You have learned the concept of overflow (with say n! that overflows at 13! for integer) Now consider Fibonacci numbers this way: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, etc. A Fibonacci sequence f(n) is of the form: f(1) = f(2) = 1, and f(n+2) = f(n) + f(n+1) for n >= 1. 6. Write a Java computer program that prints out Fibonacci numbers in a certain data type from f(1) until f(n) with n an integer you input from the keyboard. 7arrow_forward
- Problem Alice was given a number line containing every positive integer, x, where 1<=x<=n. She was also given m line segments, each having a left endpoint, l (1<=l<=n), a right endpoint, r (1<=r<=n), and an integer weight, w. Her task is to cover all numbers on the given number line using a subset of the line segments, such that the maximum weight among all the line segments in the chosen subset is minimal. In other words, let S=(l1,r1,w1),(l2,r2,w2),....,(lk,rk,wk), represent a set of k line segments chosen by Alice, max(w1,w2,...,wk) should be minimized. All numbers 1,2,....n should be covered by at least one of k the chosen line segments. It is okay for the chosen line segments to overlap. You program should output the minimized maximum weight in the chosen subset that covers all the numbers on the number line, or -1 if it is not possible to cover the number line.

Both Fand d can be any row vectors. Use F = [50 75 90 120] and d = [3 5 8] in your work to compute the moments M. Given 0 = 45°. Show your Matlab commands. You don't need to calculate the moments.arrow_forwardConsider a group of balls where each ball is one of k colors. You can assume that there is an equal number of balls of each color. Each ball, aside from its color, has a written integer on it. The numbers are in no way associated with the color. a) Devise an algorithm that orders all the balls according to colors in a way that no ball comes before a ball of a lighter color. In other words, how do you order balls from lightest to darkest, however, inside one group (i. e., one color), balls can be ordered in any way with respect to the number written on the ball. Design an algorithm and analyze it. b) Now take the output from (a), and also order balls within the color. How much time is needed for this step?arrow_forward
