Can a non-oriented graph have more than one Eulerian cycle?
The cycle is called Eulerian, iff it contains all edges, exactly one time each. That means that Eulerian cycles can only differ by edge's order (I propose to exclude edge's cyclical permutations as trivial option). It is possible to find Eulerian cycle, using Fleury's algorithm: in short, move as you...
Find a shortest path with some conditions

Here is a faster solution: Let's find paths that contain the smallest number of black cells. We can use 0-1 breadth-first search. An edge that leads to a white cell should have a weight 0 and an edge that leads to a black cell should have a weight 1. There...
How to apply Dijktra algorithm on this graph?
You apply the Dijkstra algorithm the normal way and the shortest path from a to c is really 3. However, you should read the pseudocode for Dijkstra to understand that table. Firstly, Dijkstra returns an array (or another data structure, depending on implementation, for our purposes just say it's an...
Detect cycle in a graph using Kruskal's algorithm
c++,algorithm,graph-algorithm,disjoint-sets,union-find
MAKE-SET(v) means that you're initializing a set consisting of only the vertex v. Initially, each vertex is in a set on its own. FIND-SET(u) is a function that tells you which set a vertex belongs to. It must return a pointer or an ID number that uniquely identifies the set....
Best graph algorithm for least transfer in an electric grid
Your problem is easily reduced to a well-known minimum-cost flow problem: The minimum-cost flow problem (MCFP) is to find the cheapest possible way of sending a certain amount of flow through a flow network. This reduction can be done the following way. Add a dummy "source" and "sink" vertices to...

How to compare communities in two consecutive graphs

If you allow preprocessing, there is a fast method: Construct the bridge-block forest, whose vertices are 2-connected components, and whose edges are bridges. (It's a tree if the graph is connected.) When you add an edge, if this connects points in the same 2-connected component, nothing happens. If you connect...

You can use a maximum flow algorithm to compute the minimum cut between A and B in your graph. Runtime: O(n*m) with an excess-scaling push-relabel variant (since you have only unit capacities). Your solution is O(2^m * (n + m)) if you use DFS or BFS for reachability in the...

How to design an O(m) time algorithm to compute the shortest cycle of G(undirected unweighted graph) that contains s?
You can run a BFS from your node s as starting point, this will give you a BFS-tree. Afterwards you can built a lowest-common-ancestor (LCA) data structure on this BFS-tree. This can be done for example with Tarjan's lowest-common-ancestor algorithm. I will not got into details here. Given two nodes...

The core of your question seems to be what makes finding an MST (technically called an optimum branching or minimum-cost arborescence) in a directed graph different and therefore harder than finding an MST in an undirected graph. Both Prim's and Kruskal's algorithms work because of the cut property. If G...
