Q1 Invariant lines and eigenvalues and vectors Diagonalizability and Similarity View
Show that the matrices $M$ and $\left( m _ { \rho ( i ) , \rho ( j ) } \right) _ { 1 \leq i , j \leq n }$ are similar. Deduce that if $G = ( S , A )$ is a non-empty graph, and if $\sigma$ and $\sigma ^ { \prime }$ are two indexings of $S$, then $M _ { G , \sigma }$ and $M _ { G , \sigma ^ { \prime } }$ are similar.
Q2 Invariant lines and eigenvalues and vectors Diagonalizability determination or proof View
Justify that an adjacency matrix of a non-empty graph is diagonalizable.
Q3 Invariant lines and eigenvalues and vectors Determinant and Rank Computation View
Show that an adjacency matrix of a non-empty graph is never of rank 1.
Q4 Invariant lines and eigenvalues and vectors Determinant and Rank Computation View
Show that an adjacency matrix of a graph whose non-isolated vertices form a star-type graph is of rank 2 and represent an example of a graph whose adjacency matrix is of rank 2 and which is not of the previous type.
Determine the characteristic polynomial of the double star with $d _ { 1 } + d _ { 2 } + 2$ vertices, consisting respectively of two disjoint stars with $d _ { 1 }$ and $d _ { 2 }$ branches, to which an additional edge has been added connecting the two centers of the two stars. What is the rank of the adjacency matrix of this double star?
Q10 Probability Definitions Finite Equally-Likely Probability Computation View
Let $G = ( S , A ) \in \Omega _ { n }$. Determine the probability $\mathbf { P } ( \{ G \} )$ of the elementary event $\{ G \}$ in terms of $p _ { n } , q _ { n } , N$ and $a = \operatorname { card } ( A )$. Then recover the fact that $\mathbf { P } \left( \Omega _ { n } \right) = 1$.
Q11 Probability Definitions Proof of Probabilistic Inequalities or Bounds View
Let $X$ be a random variable defined on a probability space $(\Omega , \mathcal{A} , \mathbf{P})$ with values in $\mathbf{N}$ and admitting an expectation $\mathbf{E}(X)$ and a variance $\mathbf{V}(X)$. Show that $\mathbf{P}(X > 0) \leq \mathbf{E}(X)$.
Let $X$ be a random variable defined on a probability space $(\Omega , \mathcal{A} , \mathbf{P})$ with values in $\mathbf{N}$ and admitting an expectation $\mathbf{E}(X)$ and a variance $\mathbf{V}(X)$. Show that if $\mathbf{E}(X) \neq 0$, then $\mathbf{P}(X = 0) \leq \frac{\mathbf{V}(X)}{(\mathbf{E}(X))^{2}}$. Hint: note that $(X = 0) \subset (|X - \mathbf{E}(X)| \geq \mathbf{E}(X))$.
Q13 Binomial Distribution Justify Binomial Model and State Parameters View
What is the distribution followed by the random variable $A _ { n }$ representing the number of edges of a graph of $\Omega _ { n }$?
Q14 Modelling and Hypothesis Testing Probability Bounds and Inequalities for Discrete Variables View
Show that if $p _ { n } = o \left( \frac { 1 } { n ^ { 2 } } \right)$ in the neighborhood of $+ \infty$, then $\lim _ { n \rightarrow + \infty } \mathbf { P } \left( A _ { n } > 0 \right) = 0$.
Q15 Modelling and Hypothesis Testing Combinatorial Probability and Limiting Probability View
Show that if $\frac { 1 } { n ^ { 2 } } = \mathrm { o} \left( p _ { n } \right)$ in the neighborhood of $+ \infty$, then $\lim _ { n \rightarrow + \infty } \mathbf { P } \left( A _ { n } > 0 \right) = 1$.
Q16 Modelling and Hypothesis Testing View
Deduce a property $\mathcal { P } _ { n }$ and its associated threshold function.
Q17 Probability Definitions Probability Using Set/Event Algebra View
Let $G _ { 0 } = \left( S _ { 0 } , A _ { 0 } \right)$ be a particular fixed graph with $s _ { 0 } = s _ { G _ { 0 } }$, $a _ { 0 } = a _ { G _ { 0 } }$, $s_0 \geq 2$, $a_0 \geq 1$. For a graph $H = \left( S _ { H } , A _ { H } \right)$ with $S _ { H } \subset \llbracket 1 , n \rrbracket$, the random variable $X_H$ is defined by: $$\forall G \in \Omega _ { n } \quad X _ { H } ( G ) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text { if } H \subset G \\ 0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$ Show that $$\mathbf { E } \left( X _ { H } \right) = p _ { n } ^ { a _ { H } } .$$
Q18 Probability Definitions Combinatorial Identity or Bijection Proof View
Let $G _ { 0 } = \left( S _ { 0 } , A _ { 0 } \right)$ be a particular fixed graph with $s _ { 0 } = s _ { G _ { 0 } }$, $a _ { 0 } = a _ { G _ { 0 } }$, $s_0 \geq 2$, $a_0 \geq 1$. Let $\mathcal{C}_0$ be the set of copies of $G_0$ whose vertices are included in $\llbracket 1, n \rrbracket$: $$\mathcal { C } _ { 0 } = \left\{ H \mid H \text { is a copy of } G _ { 0 } \text { and } H = \left( S _ { H } , A _ { H } \right) \text { with } S _ { H } \subset \llbracket 1 , n \rrbracket \right\}$$ Let $S _ { 0 } ^ { \prime }$ be a fixed set of cardinality $s _ { 0 }$. We denote by $c _ { 0 }$ the number of graphs whose vertex set is $S _ { 0 } ^ { \prime }$ and which are copies of $G _ { 0 }$. Express the cardinality of $\mathcal { C } _ { 0 }$ using $c _ { 0 }$ and using a simple upper bound for $c _ { 0 }$, justify that the cardinality of $\mathcal { C } _ { 0 }$ is less than $n ^ { s _ { 0 } }$.
