Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a graph of 8 vertices, you perform a sequence of union operations such that the size of components doubles every step until you reach the maximum of 8. Describe how you would implement this using a Union-Find structure and the expected time complexity.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how merging affects components overall.

Question 2

Consider an instance where you need to repeatedly add edges to a graph using Kruskal's algorithm with the Union-Find data structure. Analyze how the choice of the merging method might affect the performance of the algorithm.

💡 Hint: Think about how the structure of components influences operational time.
