TIFR CSE 2019 | Part B | Question: 12
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a directed graph with $n(\geq 2)$ vertices, including a special vertex $r$. Each edge $e \in E$ has a strictly positive edge weight $w(e)$. An arborescence in $G$ rooted at $r$ is a subgraph $H$ of $G$ ... is acyclic $w^*$ is less than the weight of the minimum weight directed Hamiltonian cycle in $G$, when $G$ has a directed Hamiltonian cycle

Coaxial cable Ethernet was limited to a maximum of $500$m between repeaters, which regenerate the signal to $100$% of its original amplitude. Along one $500$-m segment, the signal could decay to no less than $14$% of its original value $(8.5 dB)$ ... %. Such a signal, even along $2500$ m, is still strong enough to be read; why then are repeaters required every $500$ m?
