Solution to exercise 1
Given that V is a vertex and its degree is d (T ). For each edge VE incident to V, use the
lengthiest path beginning with VE. Applying maximality, the vertex at the extreme of the path is
a leaf (Artur Czumaj, 2015). Applying the same to each of the d edges incident to V, we obtain d
paths beginning at V. They are disjoint except for V. the disjoint cuts off the cycle path and
makes it incomplete. Hence, every single path provides a dissimilar leaf, and we obtain d (T )
leaves.
Solution to exercise 2
Every V of the graph on m vertices has0 d m1. In instances where all the degrees (d)
differed in the graph G. The graph G must be composed of vertex of degree i for a i=0,1 . .
contrarily, the vertex of d=0 is not neighbouring to all other vertices of G and the vertex of
d=n1 is neighbouring to another vertices of G which is unattainable (Edward R. Scheinerman,
2013). Therefore, only m1 possible values for all d are attainable. In either case, m vertices and
m1 possible values for d.
Solution to exercise 3
a)
Take H=(V , E) to be an d-uniform hypergraph with ¿ 2d 1 edges. Using two colours, randomly
colour V. For every edge e E take Ae to represent the event that the edge e is
unicolor/monochromatic (West, 2017).
It is open that
Pr ( Ae ) =21d
Hence,
Pr ( ¿ e E Ae )
e E
Pr ( Ae )< 1
And there exists a 2-coloring lacking unicolor/monochromatic edges.

b)
To obtain the upper bound of m we turn the probabilistic argument on its head. The sets are
randomized and the events defined by each colour. Fixing V with v and taking X to be represent
colouring of V with a points in unique colour and b=v 1 on the other. Taking S V to
represent the uniformly selected m-set. We have;
Pr (S isunicolor under X)= ( a
n ) +( b
n )
( v
n)
It is minimized when a=b. Hence;
Pr (S ismonochromatic under X ) p
p=
2 ( v
2
n )
( v
n )
For the independence of S
Pr (A X ) ( 1p ) m
Since there are 2v colourings;
Pr (V X AX ) 2v ( 1p )m
