Relationship between the shortest path distances - tree, Mathematics

Assignment Help:

1. a)  Given a digraph G = (V,E), prove that if we add a constant k to the length of every arc coming out from the root node r, the shortest path tree remains the same.  Do this by using potentials: 

i)  Show there is a potential y* for the new costs for which the paths in the tree to each node v have cost  y*v, and

ii) explain why this proves it.  What is the  relationship between the shortest path distances of the modified problem and those of the original problem?   

b) Can adding a constant k to the length of every arc coming out from a non-root node  produce a change in the shortest path tree?  Justify your answer.
