Your final exams are over and you are catching up on watching sports on TV. You have a schedule of interesting matches coming up all over the world during the next week. You hate to start or stop watching a match midway, so your aim is ... dynamic programming to compute the maximum number of complete matches you can watch next week. Analyze the worse-case complexity of your algorithm.

Consider the code below, defining the function $\text{mystery}:$ mystery(a,b){ if (a < 0 or b < 0) return 0; else if (a == 0) return b+1; else if (b == 0) return mystery(a-1,1); else return mystery(a-1, mystery(a,b-1)); } Express $\text{mystery}(1, \:n)$ ... of $n$. Express $\text{mystery}(2,\: n)$ as a function of $n$. Compute $\text{mystery}(3, \:2)$ and $\text{mystery}(3, 3)$.

A complete graph on $n$ vertices is an undirected graph in which every pair of distinct vertices is connected by an edge. A simple path in a graph is one in which no vertex is repeated. Let $G$ be a complete graph on $10$ vertices. Let $u$, $v$, $ w$ be three distinct vertices in $G$. How many simple paths are there from $u$ to $v$ going through $w$?

For a binary string $x = a_0a_1 \dots a_{n−1}$ define $val(x)$ to be the value of $x$ interpreted as a binary number, where $a_0$ is the most significant bit. More formally, $val(x)$ is given by $\Sigma_{0 \leq i < n} 2^{n-1-i} .a_i$ Design a finite automaton that accepts exactly the set of binary strings $x$ such that $val(x)$ is divisible by either 4 or 5.
