(15 points) Let A be a set of n countries who trade steel with one another. The countries are indexed from 1 to n. For each country i, we are given the annual domestic production (resp., consumption) of steel pi (resp., ci ). In addition, for any pair of distinct countries i and j, we are given the annual amount of steel ei,j0 exported from country i to country j. We say that a subset B of A is strictly import-independent if the total inventory of steel in B would increase strictly even in the absence of any imports to B from countries outside of B. More formally, a subset B of A is said to be strictly import-independent if iB(picijA\Bei,j)>0. Design and analyze a polynomial-time algorithm that takes as input the pi 's, ci 's, and ei,j 's for a set of n countries, and either computes a strictly import-independent subset of the countries, or indicates (correctly) that no such subset exists
