Suppоse there is а list оf tаsks thаt all have tо be completed. Each task has an associated start time and end time . An open task can be completed instantly at any time between the start and end times, including at the endpoints. You are to pick times at which all uncompleted, open tasks can be completed. That is, multiple open tasks can be completed simultaneously at the same time, and you decide at which times, all non-completed, open tasks are completed. Your job is to come up with an algorithm that, given a set of tasks, computes when to complete tasks, such that the number of times you have to complete tasks is minimized. Part A (1 point): Consider the following greedy heuristic: Sort the tasks by start-time. Whenever a new task starts, place a completion at that time. Provide a counterexample which demonstrates that this does heuristic does not minimize the number of completions. Part B (3 points): Now consider the following greedy heuristic. Sort the tasks by end-time. Place the first completion time at the end time of the first task. Then remove all tasks that were completed. Repeat this procedure until all tasks are completed. Prove with a stay-ahead argument that this algorithm is optimal. Be sure to answer both parts (A and B) in the box below.
