TopicDynamic Programming

6 The network below has 11 vertices and 16 edges connecting some pairs of vertices. The numbers on the edges are their weights. The weight of the edge \(D G\) is given in terms of \(x\). There are three routes from \(A\) to \(K\) that have the same minimum total weight.

  1. the minimum total weight from \(A\) to \(K\);
  2. the value of \(x\);
  3. the three routes corresponding to the minimum total weight. You must complete the table opposite as your solution.
