p. 171 After Theorem 5.1.1 ▄ should be
p. 185 Exercise 5.8 should read “Show that BingoSort is not a stable sorting
algorithm” (the word “not” was missing)
p. 186 Exercise 5.11 roman m in 2nd line should be italic
p. 204 Figure 6.2 Link in column i = 2 should be changed from 4 to 7, and Link in
column i = 3 should be changed from 7 to 2
p. 205 line 3 of 3rd paragraph, superscript j – 1 should be i – 1
p. 205 line 3 of 4th paragraph, change “we assume” to “notice”
p. 205 line 5 of 4th paragraph, superscript – 1 should be n – 1
p. 207 line 1 of 2nd paragraph, change n] to n}
p. 279 Subtract one from all the table entries of Root[i,j] in the last three occurrences
of this matrix. Also, change 4 to 3 in the first occurrence of this matrix.
p. 279 change 110 to 135 in its two occurrences for entry A[1,3], and change 60 to 80
in its two occurrences for entry Sigma[1,3].
p. 396 In Figure 13.1 arrow on edge 1,5 should be reversed
p. 400 In Figure 3.2 arrow on edge 1,5 should be reversed
p. 440/441:
• Step 2-7: The edge 4-7 should be reversed in all Nf-s.
• Step 1: The edge 4-7 in Nf shall be dotted.
• Step 2: In the flow-graph the two inner edges should be removed
• Step 2: The edge 0-3 in Nf shall be dotted
• Step 7: Node 5 in N should have a double circle around it, and an edge directed
from 2 to 5 should be added.
p. 444, figure 14.10: Remove the edge (x1, y2) in the upper graph.
p. 612 In second figure at the top, node 12 should be B not R
p. 619 In the BellmanFordDistributed-program: Line 6 should be “forall v do”. Line
16 updates v:Dist. A similar line updateing v:Parent should be added.
p. 638 Line 8 from bottom of “CreateNext” should be “j <- Next[j]”
