= == T2.1: Prove that the necessary conditions for a degree sequence of a tree are sufficient by showing that if di 2n-2 there is a caterpillar with these degrees. Start the construction as follows: if d1, d2,...,d2 and d++1 = d = 1 construct a path v1, v2, ..., vt and add d; - 2 pendent edges to v, for j = 2,3,..., t₁, d₁ - 1 to v₁ and d₁ - 1 to v₁. Show that this construction results vj in a caterpillar with degrees d1, d2, ..., dn
Do the Laplace Transformation and give the answer in Partial Fractions. Also do the Inverted Laplace Transformation and explain step-by-step.
I need help with this problem and an explanation of the solution for the image described below. (Statistics: Engineering Probabilities)
