| | Here is a simple but important fact about bipartite graphs. Let $latex G$ be a bipartite graph with (finite) vertex sets $latex X$ and $latex Y$ and edge density $latex \alpha$ (meaning that the number of edges is $latex \alpha |X||Y|$). Now choose $latex (x_1,x_2)$ uniformly at random from $latex X^2$ and $latex (y_1,y_2)$ uniformly

| A real $latex n\times n$ matrix $LATEX A$ is symmetric positive definite if it is symmetric ($LATEX A$ is equal to its transpose, $LATEX A^T$) and $latex x^T\!Ax > 0 \quad \mbox{for all nonzero vectors}~x. $ By making particular choices of $latex x$ in this definition we can derive the inequalities $latex \begin{alignedat}{2} a_{ii} &>0...
