✦ Synopsis


Let M = m ij be a random n Γ— n matrix over GF(2). Each matrix entry m ij is independently and identically distributed, with Pr m ij = 0 = 1 -p n and Pr m ij = 1 = p n . The probability that the matrix M is nonsingular tends to c 2 β‰ˆ 0 28879 provided min p 1 -p β‰₯ log n + d n /n for any d n β†’ ∞. Sharp thresholds are also obtained for constant d n . This answers a question posed in a paper by

Let T be a plane rooted tree with n nodes which is regarded as family tree of a Galton-Watson branching process conditioned on the total progeny. The profile of the tree ' may be described by the number of nodes or the number of leaves in layer t n , respectively. It is shown that these two processe
