25 (a) The strongly connected components are the subgraphs induced by following sets of vertices.
27 \item $V_1 = \{v_1,v_2,v_5,v_6\}$
28 \item $V_2 = \{v_3,v_4\}$
30 (b) The cliques are the the complete subgraphs induced by the following sets of vertices.
32 \item $V_1 = \{v_1,v_2,v_5\}$
34 \item $V_{9-14} \in \{\{v_i\} \mid v_i \in V\}$
37 \section*{Exercise 2.2}
38 We define the following undirected graph $G = \langle W, E \rangle$ with $\{w_i,w_j\} \in E$ iff $w_i$ and $w_j$ dislike each other. Additionally we define two sets $B_1 = B_2 = \{\}$ for the buildings and an auxiliary set $F = \{\}$ for remembering \emph{expanded} nodes.
40 \item For all $w_i \in W$ with $w_i \notin \bigcup E$ add $w_i$ to $B_1$ and $F$, i.e. $B_1 = B_1 \cup \{w_i\}$ and $F = F \cup \{w_i\}$. This way we assign all workers, who are liked by everyone to building $B_1$.
41 \item If $F = W$ terminate, we have found a solution.\\
42 Otherwise select any $w_i \notin F$ and add it to $B_1$ and $F$, i.e. $B_1 = B_1 \cup \{w_i\}$ and $F = F \cup \{w_i\}$.\\
43 Add all its disliked neighbours to $B_2$, i.e. $B_2 = B_2 \cup \{w_j \mid \{w_i,w_j\} \in E\}$.\\
44 If $B_1 \cap B_2 \neq \emptyset$ terminate, there was a conflict and therefore no possible solution.
45 \item If there a $w_i \notin F$ with $w_i \in B_1 \cup B_2$ select it, otherwise continue with $2.$\\
46 Add all its disliked neighbours to the other building, i.e. $w_i \in B_1 \implies B_2 = B_2 \cup \{w_j \mid (w_i,w_j) \in E\}$, $w_i \in B_2 \implies B_1 = B_1 \cup \{w_j \mid (w_i,w_j) \in E\}$ and $F = F \cup \{w_i\}$.\\
47 If $B_1 \cap B_2 \neq \emptyset$ terminate, there was a conflict and therefore no possible solution.\\
48 Otherwise continue with $3.$
50 This is essentially a random walk through the graph with some book keeping. Assumming that set containment can be tested in $\mathcal{O}(1)$ and set intersection in $\mathcal{O}(n)$ we have an asymptotic complexity of $\mathcal{O}(|W| \cdot |E|)$ (this includes the optimisation, that the intersection test is only done once when $F = W$ holds).
52 \section*{Exercise 2.3}
53 (a) $VertexCover \in NP$ because by guessing the vertex set $V'$, we can iterate over all $\{v_1,v_2\} \in E$ and check if $v_1 \in V'$ or $v_2 \in V'$ holds in polynomial time.\\
54 We show $Clique \le_P VertexCover$. Given an undirected graph $G = \langle V,E \rangle$ and $k \in N$ we build a graph $G_2 = \langle V_2, E_2 \rangle$ so that there is a clique $V' \subseteq V$ with $|V'| \geq k$ iff there is a vertex cover $V_2' \subseteq V_2$ with $|V_2'| \leq k_2$ given following construction:
57 \item $E_2 = \{\{v_i,v_j\} \mid \{v_i,v_j\} \notin E\}$
60 (b) $Dominating Set \in NP$ because by guessing the vertex set $V'$, we can iterate over all $v \in V$ and check if $v \in V'$ or $\exists{v' \in V}: \{v,v'\} \in E$ holds in polynomial time.\\
61 We show $Vertex Cover \le_P DominatingSet$. Given an undirected graph $G = \langle V, E \rangle$ and $k \in N$ we build a graph $G_2 = \langle V_2, E_2 \rangle$ so that there is a vertex cover $V' \subseteq V$ with $|V'| \leq k$ iff there is a dominating set $V_2' \subseteq V_2$ with $|V_2| \leq k$ given following construction:
63 \item $V_2 = V \cup \{v_e \mid e \in E\}$
64 \item $E_2 = E \cup \{\{v,v_e\} \mid v,v_e \in V_2$ and $e \in E\}$
