The Goose Island Lighthouse is operated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and has been unstaffed since 1931. It was originally constructed in 1846 with the use of convict labour. On 31 March 1857 the station was raided by pirates. From 1985 to 1990 a wind generator was used as a power source for the light, today the electricity is generated by solar panels.[1] The tower was built as a 30-metre (98 ft)-tall rubblestone construction employing a Fresnel lens, which today is on display in Hobart at the Maritime Museum of Tasmania.[1] The focal plane of the light source is located 36 m above sea level, the light's characteristic is a double flash every ten seconds.

Goose Island contains historic relics from the time when the lighthouse was staffed, such as the remains of a wooden tramway used to supply the lighthouse, as well as the graves of light keepers, or members of their families, who died by drowning.[2]

Degree matrix

Type of matrix in algebraic graph theory In the mathematical field of algebraic graph theory, the degree matrix of an undirected graph is a diagonal matrix which contains information about the degree of each vertex—that is, the number of edges attached to each vertex.[1] It is used together with the adjacency matrix to construct the Laplacian matrix of a graph: the Laplacian matrix is the difference of the degree matrix and the adjacency matrix.[2] Definition Given a graph G...
