(a) Determine a spanning treeT in Gwith minimal costs c(T). (b) Give a general description of the algorithm applied in (a).
(c) Determine all cliquesCi inG with Ci ≥3.
(d) Find a stable set S∗ in G with maximal weight w(S∗) regarding the node weights wv =1 for all v∈V.
(e) Decide whether the graph Gis bipartite.
(Hint: This corresponds to finding a stable set with maximal cardinality in G.)
