  1. (SECTION-A)

    1. (a) Show that every square matrix can be expressed as sum of a symmetric and a skew-symmetric matrix.

    Long Answer Dec-2018 • PU-PATIALA BBA

    let  A be any square matrix

    Then A can be expressed as

    Adding and subtracting A’ on R.H.S

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Hence Q is a skew-symmetric matrix

    Hence A=P+Q

    Hence every square matric can be expressed as a sum of a symmetric and skew-symmetric matrix

  11. Define game and given its characteristic Define a two game with suitable example

    Short Answer Dec-2018 • PU-PATIALA BBA

    Game theory :

    Game theory is a branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of conflict situation It involves determining a strategy for a given situation and the costs or benefits realized by using the strategy.

    Characteristics

    1. There is a conflict between two or more players resulting in a win for some and a loss for others.

    2. There is a way to start the game

    3. During each move, single slayers are forced to make choices or the choices are assigned by random devices

     Two-person game :

    A two-person game is characterized by the strategies of each player and the payoff matrix

    The two-person game is also called zero-sum game because one player wins whatever the other player loses
