Q4.

In an adjacency list representation of an undirected simple graph G = (V,E), each edge (u,v) has two adjacency list entries: [v] in the adjacency list of u, and [u] in the adjacency list of v. These are called twins of each other. A twin pointer is a pointer from an adjacency list entry to its twin. If |E|=m and |V|=n, and the memory size is not a constraint, what is the Asymptotic Notation of the most efficient algorithm to set the twin pointer in each entry in each adjacency list?

Q9.

A file system uses an in-memory cache to cache disk blocks.The miss rate of the cache is shown in the figure. The latency to read a block from the cache is 1 ms and to read a block from the disk is 10ms. Assume that the cost of checking whether a block exists in the cache is negligible. Available cache sizes are in multiples of 10MB. The smallest cache size required to ensure an average read latency of less than 6ms is_________ MB.

Q10.

Consider the following New-order strategy for traversing a binary tree: Visit the root; Visit the right sub tree using New-order; Visit the left sub tree using New-order; The New-order traversal of the expression tree corresponding to the reverse polish expression 3 4 * 5 - 2 ^ 6 7 * 1 + - is given by:
