Let $H \in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R}^{3})$ such that $\|H^{\prime}(x)\| = 1$ and $\|H^{\prime\prime}(x)\| \neq 0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$. We denote $T_{H}(x) = H^{\prime}(x)$, $n_{H}(x) = T_{H}^{\prime}(x)/\|T_{H}^{\prime}(x)\|$ and $b_{H}(x) = T_{H}(x) \wedge n_{H}(x)$. We admit that there exist $k_{H}(x)$ and $\tau_{H}(x)$ such that $$\left\{\begin{array}{l} T_{H}^{\prime}(x) = k_{H}(x)\, n_{H}(x) \\ n_{H}^{\prime}(x) = -k_{H}(x)\, T_{H}(x) + \tau_{H}(x)\, b_{H}(x) \\ b_{H}^{\prime}(x) = -\tau_{H}(x)\, n_{H}(x) \end{array}\right.$$

c) Using the function Bernoulli(p), write a function Modifie(M,p) that randomly modifies the matrix M according to the principle described above.
d) Write a function Simulation(n,p) that returns the smallest integer $k$ such that $M_k$ is completely filled starting from a random filling of the zero matrix of order $n$ (which can be obtained by zeros$((n,n))$). It is not required to store the $M_k$.
We consider the function $\varphi$ defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by
$$\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, \quad \varphi(x) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x \in \left[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right] \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
