Good Will Hunting Problem

Remember the Good Will Hunting movie, where a genius solves an MIT problem? Our artificial intelligence can solve that too!

Problem

G
is the graph
vertex set V = {1,2,3,4}
edges E =
(1,2),(1,4),(2,3),(2,3),(2,4)
Find:
1) the adjacency matrix A.
2) the matrix
giving the number of 3 step walks.
3) the generating function for walks from
point i → j.
4) the generating function for walks from points 1 → 3.

Solution

by TechCoders
1) The adjacency matrix A is:

A = [[0, 1, 0, 1],
     [1, 0, 2, 1],
     [0, 2, 0, 0],
     [1, 1, 0, 0]]

2) The matrix giving the number of 3 step walks is:

W3 = [[0, 0, 0, 0],
      [0, 0, 2, 0],
      [0, 2, 0, 0],
      [0, 0, 0, 0]]

3) The generating function for walks from point i → j is:

G(i,j) = (A^3)_{ij}

4) The generating function for walks from points 1 → 3 is:

G(1,3) = (A^3)_{13}
