Problem Statement

Let AA be a 6$$\times$$ 6 matrix over F2\mathbb{F}_2, and let GG be a simple labeled graph on vertex set {1,2,3,4,5,6}\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}. Define Z(A){1,,6}Z(A)\subseteq\{1,\ldots,6\} to be the set of column indices whose columns in AA are all-zero.

Count the number of pairs (A,G)(A,G) such that

  • AA has no zero rows;

  • Z(A)=2|Z(A)|=2;

  • in GG, no vertex in Z(A)Z(A) is isolated;

  • GG has no edges with one endpoint in Z(A)Z(A) and the other in its complement.

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] Let me break down this problem:

  1. AA is a 6×66 \times 6 matrix over F2\mathbb{F}_2
  2. Z(A)Z(A) is the set of column indices whose columns are all-zero
  3. We need:
    • AA has no zero rows
    • Z(A)=2|Z(A)| = 2 (exactly 2 columns are all-zero)
    • In GG, no vertex in Z(A)Z(A) is isolated
    • GG has no edges between Z(A)Z(A) and its complement

Let me count the pairs (A,G)(A, G):

Counting matrices AA:

  • Choose which 2 columns are all-zero: (62)=15\binom{6}{2} = 15 ways
  • The remaining 4 columns must be non-zero columns (each column has at least one 1)
  • Each row must be non-zero

For the 4 non-zero columns: each column can be any of 261=632^6 - 1 = 63 non-zero vectors. But we also need each row to be non-zero.

Actually, let me think more carefully. If columns i,ji, j are the zero columns, then:

  • The 4 remaining columns (call them the "active" columns) must each be non-zero
  • Each row, when restricted to these 4 active columns, must be non-zero (since the other 2 columns are zero)

So we need to count 6×46 \times 4 matrices over F2\mathbb{F}_2 where:

  • No row is all-zero
  • No column is all-zero

This is an inclusion-exclusion problem. Let me count matrices with no zero rows and no zero columns.

Counting graphs GG: Given Z(A)={i,j}Z(A) = \{i, j\}:

  • No edges between Z(A)Z(A) and its complement
  • No vertex in Z(A)Z(A) is isolated (so there must be an edge between ii and jj)

So the graph decomposes into:

  • A graph on Z(A)={i,j}Z(A) = \{i, j\} where the edge (i,j)(i,j) must exist (1 way)
  • A graph on the complement {1,...,6}Z(A)\{1,...,6\} \setminus Z(A) (4 vertices), any graph is allowed: 2(42)=26=642^{\binom{4}{2}} = 2^6 = 64 ways

Let me compute this with Python. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] from itertools import combinations import numpy as np

Count 6x4 matrices over F_2 with no zero rows and no zero columns

Using inclusion-exclusion

def count_matrices_no_zero_rows_cols(n_rows, n_cols): """Count n_rows x n_cols matrices over F_2 with no zero rows and no zero columns""" # Total matrices: 2^(n_rows * n_cols) # Use inclusion-exclusion on rows and columns

total = 0
for num_zero_rows in range(n_rows + 1):
    for num_zero_cols in range(n_cols + 1):
        # Choose which rows are forced to be zero
        # Choose which columns are forced to be zero
        # The remaining (n_rows - num_zero_rows) x (n_cols - num_zero_cols) submatrix is free
        sign = (-1) ** (num_zero_rows + num_zero_cols)
        ways_choose_rows = int(np.math.comb(n_rows, num_zero_rows))
        ways_choose_cols = int(np.math.comb(n_cols, num_zero_cols))
        remaining_entries = (n_rows - num_zero_rows) * (n_cols - num_zero_cols)
        total += sign * ways_choose_rows * ways_choose_cols * (2 ** remaining_entries)

return total

For our problem: 6 rows, 4 columns (the non-zero columns)

num_matrices_per_choice = count_matrices_no_zero_rows_cols(6, 4) print(f"Number of 6x4 matrices with no zero rows and no zero columns: {num_matrices_per_choice}")

Number of ways to choose which 2 columns are zero

num_column_choices = int(np.math.comb(6, 2)) print(f"Number of ways to choose Z(A): {num_column_choices}")

Total number of valid matrices A

total_matrices = num_column_choices * num_matrices_per_choice print(f"Total valid matrices A: {total_matrices}")

For graphs G:

- Edge between the 2 vertices in Z(A) must exist: 1 way

- Any graph on the 4 vertices in complement: 2^C(4,2) = 2^6 = 64 ways

num_graphs_per_ZA = 1 * (2 ** 6) print(f"Number of valid graphs G for each Z(A): {num_graphs_per_ZA}")

But wait - the graph G is on the full vertex set, and Z(A) depends on A

For each matrix A with a specific Z(A), we count graphs G satisfying the conditions

Total pairs (A, G)

total_pairs = total_matrices * num_graphs_per_ZA print(f"Total pairs (A, G): {total_pairs}") [/PYTHON]
