3. Find the directed acyclic graph formed by the components obtained in the previous exercise.

Note: the previous exercise asked about the connected components of the scrict overlap graph for the rows in the following binary matrix:

0010000100
0001001000
0101101011
0010010000
0001100010
1101101010
0011111110
0000001000

Answer:

These are the components obtained from the previous exercise, where Si represents row i:

components of strictly overlap graph

Taking the union of the sets (rows) in each component, we get (numbers represent matirx columns):

A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
B = {3,6,8}
C = {4,5,7,9}
D = {7}

The acyclic graph formed by the components is (with an arrow X → Y meaning that X contains Y):

component acyclic graph
