Instructions
- Please review the course syllabus and make sure that you understand the course policies for grading, late homework, and academic honesty.
 
- On the first page of your solution write-up, 
    you must make explicit which problems are to be graded for 
    "regular credit", which problems are to be graded for "extra credit",
    and which problems you did not attempt.
    Please use a table something like the following
    
     
    | Problem | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | ... | 
|---|
 | Credit | RC | RC | RC | EC | RC | RC | NA | RC | RC | ... | 
|---|
 
 
    where "RC" is "regular credit", "EC" is "extra credit", and "NA"
    is "not applicable" (not attempted).  Failure to do so will result
    in an arbitrary set of problems being graded for regular
    credit, no problems being graded for extra credit, and a five percent
    penalty assessment.
 
 
- You must also write down with whom you worked on the assignment.  If this
    changes from problem to problem, then you should write down this 
    information separately with each problem.
Problems
Required: problem 1; one of problems 2 and 3; one of problems 4 and 5; one of problems 6 and 7; one of problems 8 and 9 
Points: Problems are worth 20 points each.  
 Unless otherwise indicated, problems are from Algorithms by Dasgupta, Papadimitriou, and Vazirani.
