The Karger's algorithm relates to graph theory where G=(V,E) is an undirected graph with |E| edges and |V| vertices. The objective is to find the minimum number of cuts in edges in order to separate G into two disjoint graphs. The algorithm is randomized and will, in some cases, give the minimum number of cuts. The more number of trials, the higher probability that the minimum number of cuts will be obtained.
The Karger's algorithm will succeed in finding the minimum cut if every edge contraction does not involve any of the edge set C of the minimum cut.
The probability of success, i.e. obtaining the minimum cut, can be shown to be ≥ 2/(n(n-1))=1/C(n,2), which roughly equals 2/n^2 given in the question.Given: EACH randomized trial using the Karger's algorithm has a success rate of P(success,1) ≥ 2/n^2.
This means that the probability of failure is P(F,1) ≤ (1-2/n^2) for each single trial.
We need to estimate the number of trials, t, such that the probability that all t trials fail is less than 1/n.
Using the multiplication rule in probability theory, this can be expressed as P(F,t)= (1-2/n^2)^t < 1/n
We will use a tool derived from calculus that Lim (1-1/x)^x as x->infinity = 1/e, and (1-1/x)^x < 1/e for x finite.
Setting t=(1/2)n^2 trials, we have P(F,n^2) = (1-2/n^2)^((1/2)n^2) < 1/e
Finally, if we set t=(1/2)n^2*log(n), [log(n) is log_e(n)]
ok so you take the median of all the #'s which turns out to be 126.5 and that is where your bar should point to in the box, then you should start with 105, and your last bit of the line should end at 150, the start of your box should start at the median of 105 and 117, and the end of your box should stop at the median of 145 and 150.
A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a 90∘ angle. The "square" at the vertex of the angle indicates that it is 90 degrees. A triangle can be determined to be a right triangle if the side lengths are known.
Recall that when you multiply a decimal by a power of ten (10, 100, 1,000, etc), the placement of the decimal point in the product will move to the right according to the number of zeros in the power of ten. For instance, 4.12 · 10 = 41.2.
hope this helps for what you needed have a nice day! :)
