5.4 Practice Problems

5.4.1

  1. The graph is k-connected with what k?
  2. What is the diameter of the graph?
  3. What is a name for node H? What does it do?
  4. Let us remove node H. Notice that we have essentially done some c by removing the fewest node/edges to create network components. What are the resulting n-cliques for each of the resulting components?
  5. Calculate the Connectedness score for each of the two components. Which is the more centralized component?

5.4.2

The Ministry of Silly Walks: Both J and L would like to get approval for funding the development of their new idea, which can only be approved by person A. The bureaucracy to A though is a little convoluted. What is the shortest path for person J and L to get their idea passed up the chain of command for approval?

5.4.3

  1. How many components are there in the graph?
  2. The giant component is k-connected with what k?
  3. What is the diameter of the graph?

Remove component G-H so now the graph is what was before the giant component and answer the following questions. d) What is the diameter of the graph? e) The graph is k-connected with what k? f) What type of clique is subgraph (L, M, N, O, P)? g) What type of clique is subgraph (A, E, I, F, J)?
