. Provide the traditional analysis of knowledge in terms of
necessary and sufficient conditions and provide a Gettier-style
counter example to this analysis. Explain what such counter
examples tell us about the traditional analysis of knowledge.
2. (a) State the necessary and sufficient conditions for
consumer equilibrium. (b) Choose two goods and their corresponding
prices, such that the consumer is in disequilibrium, i.e., he or
she gets more marginal utility from one good than from the other
given the goods prices. Indicate how the consumer will change her
spending habits to return to equilibrium. (c) What role does the
laws/principle of diminishing marginal utility play in the process
you described above? (d) Characterize as best as...
A bipartite graph is drawn on a channel if the vertices of one
partite set are placed on one line in the plane (in some order) and
the vertices of the other partite set are placed on a line parallel
to it and the edges are drawn as straight-line segments between
them. Prove that a connected graph G can be drawn on a channel
without edge crossings if and only if G is a caterpillar.
(***Please do on paper)
Problem 8. A bipartite graph
G = (V,E) is a graph whose vertices can
be partitioned into two (disjoint) sets V1 and
V2, such that every edge joins a vertex in
V1 with a vertex in V2.
This means no edges are within V1 or
V2 (or symbolically: ∀u, v
∈ V1, {u,v}
∉ E and ∀u,v ∈
V2, {u,v} ∉ E).
8(a) Show that the complete graph K2 is a
bipartite graph.
8(b) Prove that no complete graph
Kn,...
2. Provide examples that demonstrate the concept of
a. Necessary and Sufficient
b. Necessary but not Sufficient
c. Sufficient but not Necessary
d. Neither Necessary nor Sufficient
Write down the chromatic polynomials of
(i)the complete graph K7;
(ii)the complete bipartite graph K1,6.
In how many ways can these graphs be coloured with ten colours?
9. Let G be a bipartite graph and r ∈ Z>0. Prove that if G is
r-regular, then G has a perfect matching.1
10. Let G be a simple graph. Prove that the connection relation
in G is an equivalence relation on V (G)
