Chapter 8, Problem 6P

(a)

Program Plan Intro

To compute the number of possible ways to divide 2n numbers into two sorted list so that each part has n numbers.

(b)

Program Plan Intro

To show that any algorithm that correctly merges two sorted list must performed at least 2nO(n) comparisons.

Program Plan Intro

To show that if two elements are consecutive in the sorted order and from different list then they must be compared.

(d)

Program Plan Intro

To show that a lower bond of 2n1 comparisons for merging two sorted lists.

1.  How many ways can I make a list of length n out of n elements if I allow repeats?  (For example, if n=2, if there are no repeats my possible lists are 12 and 21.  But if I allow repeats the possible lists are 11, 12, 21, and 22.
Solve the following problem using balanced binary search trees (TreeSet or TreeMap whichever is appropriate). Given array A of integers, and integer x, find a pair of integers i #j with A[i]+ A[j] = x. The array is not sorted, but it does not contain duplicate elements. If there are multiple pairs that sum to x, choose a pair in which the smaller of two elements is as big as possible. For example, if A = {3, 6, 4, 1, 5, 2} then sumOf(A, 8) returns {0, 4} corresponding to the pair A[0] = 3, A[4] = 5, whose sum is 8. Note that this pair is preferred to (1, 5}, because min(A[0], A[4]) = 3, which is bigger than min(A[1], A[5]) = 2. %3D %3D %3D %3D Class Pair { int one, two; Pair (int a, int b) {one a; two b;} Pair sumOf (int [] A, int x) //code to solve the problem; RT should be 0(n log n)
A linked list has a cycle such that if you start at any node p and follow a sufficient number of subsequent links, you will end up at node p. Not that p does not have to be the list's initial node. Assume you are given an N-node linked list. The value of N, on the other hand, remains unknown. 1. Create an O(N) algorithm to check if a list includes a cycle. You may add O(N) more spaces. 2. Rep the previous question, this time using just O(1) more space. (Hint: Use two pointers that start at the beginning of the list but progress at separate rates.)
