DAA Module 2

This document discusses several problems that can be solved using greedy algorithms including the knapsack problem, job sequencing with deadlines, optimal storage on tapes, and minimum cost spanning trees. It provides examples of greedy algorithms like Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees. It also covers Dijkstra's algorithm for finding single source shortest paths in a graph.

Three feasible solutions are,

Out of three feasible solutions, solution 4 yields maximum profit. This solution is an optimal solution for
a given problem. All the solutions are shown below.

2st Feasible solution: Select the objects according to decreasing order of their profits.

MINIMUM COST SPANNING TREE:

DAA, Module-2 Page 10


For any problem, there are some greedy methods that are useful for finding minimum cost spanning
tree. These methods are,
 Prim’s Algorithm
 Kruskal’s Algorithm

PRIM’S ALGORITHM:

KRUSKAL’S ALGORITHM :
In this, always minimum coat edge has to be selected. It is not necessary to select the edge from already
connected vertices.
