Discussion of Problem 1389. Roadworks

Can i use Greedy ?
Posted by Lifanov 24 Sep 2005 17:34
I take the list (any City with 1 road) and delete this road, then going to connected city and mark all road from it as non-delete, then  i going to near city and repeat first step.
For example
5 4
1 2
2 3
3 4
3 5
Start with 1 City, delete (1 2) then go in 3 city, and remove (3 4) or (3 5)?

Why WA2 ?
Sorry fo my English.

Answer depends on the way you go from city 3.

Yes.
But your algorithm probably realy work wrong.
My greedy:
While graph is not empty
1. We choose any vertex v: deg(v)=1 (e=(v,u))
2. Add to the answer edge e.
3. Delete v and u with all its edges from the graph.
