The Dickson polynomials $(D_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ and $(E_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ satisfy the recurrences $D_{n+2}(x,a) = x D_{n+1}(x,a) - a D_n(x,a)$ and $E_{n+2}(x,a) = x E_{n+1}(x,a) - a E_n(x,a)$ with $D_0 = 2, D_1(x,a) = x, E_0 = 1, E_1(x,a) = x$. Let $B \in \mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. We denote, in this question only, $\sigma = \operatorname{Tr} B$ and $\nu = \det B$. Show for every $n \geqslant 2$, the equality $$B^n = E_{n-1}(\sigma, \nu) \cdot B - \nu E_{n-2}(\sigma, \nu) \cdot I_2$$ where $I_2$ is the identity matrix of order 2.

The necessary and sufficient condition for $A \in \mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ to be an $n$-th power is the existence of $\sigma \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $\nu \in \{-1,1\}$ such that $E_{n-1}(\sigma,\nu)$ divides $b$, $c$ and $a-d$, and $\tau = D_n(\sigma,\nu)$, $\delta = \nu^n$. Show that the matrix $A = \begin{pmatrix} 7 & 10 \\ 5 & 7 \end{pmatrix}$ is a cube in $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and determine a matrix $B \in \mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ such that $B^3 = A$.

Express $F(t)$ in terms of $R(\theta)$, where $\theta$ depends on $m$ and $t$.
Let $p \in ]0,1[$. Let $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ be mutually independent random variables following the same Bernoulli distribution with parameter $p$. Let $S = X_1 + \ldots + X_n$, $U(\omega) = (X_1(\omega), \ldots, X_n(\omega))^T$ and $M(\omega) = U(\omega)\,{}^t(U(\omega))$. Express $M^k$ in terms of $S$ and $M$.
