Let $$G$$ $$\,\,\,\,\, = \,\,\,\left( {V,\,\,\,\,\,E} \right)$$ be a graph. Define $$\xi \left( G \right) = \sum\limits_d {{i_d} \times } {\mkern 1mu} d,$$ where $${{i_d}}$$ is the number of vertices of degree $$d$$ in $$G$$. If $$S$$ and $$T$$ are two different trees with $$\xi \left( S \right) = \xi \left( T \right)$$, then

What is the value of $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {\left[ {1 - {1 \over n}} \right]^{2n}}?$$

The degree sequence of a simple graph is the sequence of the degrees of the nodes in the graph in decreasing order. Which of the following sequences can not be the degree sequence of any graph?
$${\rm I}.$$$$\,\,\,\,\,7,6,5,4,4,3,2,1$$
$${\rm I}{\rm I}.$$$$\,\,\,\,\,6,6,6,6,3,3,2,2$$
$${\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I}.$$$$\,\,\,\,\,7,6,6,4,4,3,2,2$$
$${\rm I}V.$$$$\,\,\,\,\,8,7,7,6,4,2,1,1$$

Consider the following matrix $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 2 & 3 \cr x & y \cr } } \right]\,\,$$ If the eigen values of $$A$$ are $$4$$ and $$8$$, then
