COS 423 Theory of Algorithms Spring 2005
Precept 2
Here are the problems that we plan to work out in the problem session.
1. Problem 4.12.
2. Chapter 4, solved exercise 3.
3. Let G=(V,E) be a directed graph, and let sbe a distinguished node. Each edge (u, v) has an
associated success probability γuv between 0 and 1. When sending a message from ualong an edge
(u, v), the message arrives at vwith probability γuv and is dropped with probability 1 γuv.Your
goal is to find a path from sto vwith the highest success probability. Assume that the failure events
are independent so that the success probability of a path is the product of the probabilities of its
constituent edges.

COS 423 Theory of Algorithms Spring 2005

Precept 2

Here are the problems that we plan to work out in the problem session.

  1. Problem 4.12.
  2. Chapter 4, solved exercise 3.
  3. Let G = (V, E) be a directed graph, and let s be a distinguished node. Each edge (u, v) has an associated success probability γuv between 0 and 1. When sending a message from u along an edge (u, v), the message arrives at v with probability γuv and is dropped with probability 1 − γuv. Your goal is to find a path from s to v with the highest success probability. Assume that the failure events are independent so that the success probability of a path is the product of the probabilities of its constituent edges.
