+For lack of Latex skills, I will denote by $G_1\circledR G_2$ the replacement
+product and by $G_1\circ G_2$ the zig-zag product.
+
+\paragraph{1.} Following the hint, it is easy to see that $G_1\circ G_2$ is
+a subgraph of ($G_1\circledR G_2)^3$. Indeed, one step from $(u,i)$ to $(v, j)$
+in $G_1\circ G_2$ can be seen as the following three steps in $G_1\circledR
+G_2$:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item first a step from $(u,i)$ to $(u,i')$
+ \item then a step from $(u, i')$ to $(v, j')$
+ \item then a step from $(v, j')$ to $(v, j)$
+\end{enumerate}
+with the notation that $v$ is the $i'$th neighbor of $u$ and $u$ is the $j'$th
+neighbor of $u$.
+
+Denoting by $Z$ the random walk matrix of $G_1\circ G_2$ and $M$ the random
+walk matrix of $G_1\circledR G_2$ and since $G_1\circ G_2$ is a $D_2^2$
+regular subgraph of $(G_1\circledR G_2)^3$ which is $(D_2+1)^3$ regular, we
+have:
+\begin{displaymath}
+M^3 = \frac{D_2^2}{(D_2+1)^3}Z + \left(1-\frac{D_2^2}{(D_2+1)^3}\right) E
+\end{displaymath}
+where $E$ is the “remainder” and corresponds to random steps in $(G_1\circledR
+G_2)^3$ which are not random steps in $G_1\circ G_2$. Since $Z$ is regular, so
+is $E$, in particular, $\|E\|\leq 1$.
+
+This implies that:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \lambda(M^3)\leq \frac{D_2^2}{(D_2+1)^3}(1-\gamma_1\gamma_2^2)
+ +\left(1-\frac{D_2^2}{(D_2+1)^3}\right)
+\end{displaymath}
+where we used that the expansion of $G_1\circ G_2$ is at least
+$\gamma_1\gamma_2^2$ using Theorem 4.35. This in turn implies that $G_1\circledR
+G_2$ has expansion at least:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \left(\gamma_1\gamma_2^2\frac{D_2^2}{(D_2+1)^3}\right)^{1/3}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+\paragraph{2.} Let us consider $G$ a $(N, D, \gamma)$ expander. First if the
+degree of $G$ is even, we can make it odd by adding a new vertex connected to
+all the previous vertices. $N$ increases by one, $D$ increases by one.
+
+Once we have a graph with odd degree $D$, we can take the replacement product
+with the cycle $C$ on $D$ vertices. The cycle is $2$-regular and nonbipartite
+(since $D$ is odd). Hence $G\circledR C$ will be a $(ND, 3, \gamma')$ expander.
+The cycle being nonbipartite, it will have non zero expansion. Part \textbf{1.}
+implies that $\gamma'>0$.
+
+\paragraph{4.} Without loss of generality, assume that $N_1$ is even. Let us
+consider the set $S$ of $N_1D_1/2$ vertices in $G_1\circledR G_2$ where for
+half the clouds, we include all their vertices in $S$. The number of edges
+$e(S, S^C)$ is at most $N_1D_1/2$ since the edges in the cut are the edges from
+the “included” clouds to the non-included ones and each vertex in an included
+cloud is connected to exactly one vertex in an other cloud. Hence $S$ does not
+have edge expansion $\eps$ for $\eps>1/(D_2+1)$. This implies that
+$h(\eps_1,\eps_2, D_2)$ depends on $D_2$. This implies that $g(\gamma_1,
+\gamma_2, D_2)$ also depends on $D_2$ by Theorem 4.14.

neighbor (“1” means $x\in S$, “0” means $x\notin S$). The property $\Pi$ immediately
implies that the error probability is at most $\delta$.
+\paragraph{4.} I follow the hint: if I assign $1$ to $N(S)$, and $0$ elsewhere,
+then using \textbf{2.}, the set $T$ of vertices for which the error probability
+of the query algorithm described in \textbf{3.} is larger than $\delta$ (they

+
+For each vertex $u\in T$, we can fix it by simply assigning $0$ to $N(u)\cap

+By repeating this process, we show that the number of mistakes to fix (number
+of vertices for which the probability of failure is greater than $\delta$) is

+no mistakes and a valid assignment.
