H: Do eigenvectors of a Toeplitz matrix form an orthogonal set? It is true for a $2 \times 2$ Toeplitz matrix (put values $a$ and $b$ in the first row and $b$ and $a$ in the second and work out), but when I tried it for a $3 \times 3$, it turns out to be a bit difficult. Any help or reference to my question is greatl...

H: Solving $y'' + (ax+b)y = 0$ This is a problem in quantum mechanics when one considers a linear potential; in physics-speak the equation would be written as $$\frac{d^2\psi}{dx^2} + \frac{2m}{\hbar^2}(E-ax)\psi = 0,$$ with $V(x) = ax$. I've been looking at it for a while and can't find a solution, and I thought I'd...

H: Is every $T_2$ compact monotonically normal space separable? I have a question about compact spaces: Is every $T_2$ compact monotonically normal space separable? Thanks ahead:) AI: Hint: Every linearly ordered topological space is $T_2$ and monotonically normal. Can you think of one which is compact and nonsepa...
H: Formal proving of languages accepted by a finite automata. Suppose $L_1 \cup L_2,L_1 \subseteq E^* $ are languages accepted by finite automata and $L_1\cap L_2 =\emptyset $. We need to prove that $L_2 $ is also accepted by a finite automaton. So I've started with building an intuition, but I have a few questions. ...
H: A Summation Question Let $n$ be an odd integer. If $\sin (n)\theta=\displaystyle \sum _{r=0}^n b_r\sin (r\theta)$, for every value of $\theta$, then $b_0=1, b_1=3$ $b_0=0, b_1=n$ $b_0=-1, b_1=n$ $b_0=0, b_1=n^2+3n+3$ How do I approach it? I am not able to find the values of $b_0$ or $b_1$. AI: For example: $$n=1\...
H: Question about finding a limit with limit arithmetics $lim_{n \to \infty}(\frac{4n^2}{(2n+1)(2n-1)})^{1-n^2}$ When I simplfy it I get: $\frac{1-4n^2}{(1-4n^2)^{n^2}}$ Now is it enough to use limit arithmetics on the denominator as if it's $\frac1{x^n}$ to show that it goes to 0 ? Note: we can't use logs/lns/derive/...
H: Finding the limit of $ \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \left(\frac{2^k + 1}{2^{k-1} + 3}\right) $ $$ \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \left(\frac{2^k + 1}{2^{k-1} + 3}\right) $$ I'm trying to prove that the limit of the sequence is $2$ using the squeeze theorem, but with no success. Thanks AI: HINT: Multiply the fraction by...
H: check if 2 vectors in $\Bbb R^n$ = $\Bbb R^2$ I need to make sure that a system of any 2 vectors in $\Bbb R^n$ can make a lineair combination to $\Bbb R^2$. The way I want to investigate is to row-reduce the matrix to enchelon form. This way I can check for consistentcy and see if the set has a single solution. Is ...
H: How to calculate the rest of $2^{p^r-p^{r-1}+1}$ divided by $p^r$ I have the next problem: $p$ is an odd prime number and $r$ is a natural number, $r>1$. How can I calculate the rest of the division of $2^{p^r-p^{r-1}+1}$ by $p^r$ ? AI: Hint: $\varphi(p^r)=p^r-p^{r-1}$ and $2$ is coprime to $p^r$, so, by Euler-Ferm...

H: Quantity of an object after proliferation A small creature called "Charza" lives in blocks of an infinite square. An infinite number of them can live in a block. After one hour , one Charza is divided into 4 Charzas and each one moves into one of the adjacent blocks. we have only one Charza at the first . after 6 h...
H: Kind find the limit of the following question What is the limit of the following? lim(h->0) ((2+h)^0.5 -(2)^0.5)/h Note: I'm struggling to make the denominator positive. AI: First way: $$\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sqrt{2+h}-\sqrt2}h=(\sqrt x)'|_{x=2}=\frac1{2\sqrt2}$$ Second way: $$\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sqrt{2+h}-\sqrt2}h=\...
H: sum of all coprimes of a number. What is the sum of all coprimes to number less than that number? I found a bit about it: For example we have to find the sum of coprimes of 2016. Therefore, the required sum $S$ is: $2016 = 2^5 * 7 * 3^2$ $S = \frac{2016}2 * 2016 * (1-\frac13)(1-\frac17)(1-\frac12) = 580608$ If this...

H: Can't find the limit of the following I can't find the limit of the the following: $$\lim_{p\to1} \frac{ p^{1/3} - 1 }{p - 1}$$ Any ideas? AI: Putting $p^{\frac13}=q\implies p=q^3$ as $p\to1, q\to1$ $$\lim_{p\to1}\frac{p^{\frac13}-1}{p-1}$$ $$=\lim_{q\to1}\frac{q-1}{q^3-1}$$ $$=\lim_{q\to1}\frac{(q-1)}{(q-1)(q^2+q+...
H: How does $\exp(0)=1$ follow from the definition $\exp(z):= \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{1}{n!} z^n$ We introduced the Exponential function as follows: $$ \exp: \begin{cases} \mathbb{C} & \longrightarrow \mathbb{C} \\z & \longmapsto \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n!}z^n \end{cases}$$ It might be a trivial thi...
H: Best way to explain how the Infimum and Supremum of this function are obtained...? I have the function $\;f(x)=\dfrac{x^{(1/2)}}{2+x}\;$ and I know that $\inf(f)$ does not exist and $\sup(f)=2$ but I don't know how to formally show this rigorously? Anyone got a formal way of showing this, it would be much appreciat...

H: Is there a continuous function $f:S^1 \to \mathbb R$ which is one-one? Is there a continuous function $f:S^1 \to \mathbb R$ which is one-one? AI: Suppose such a function $f$ exists. $f(S^1)$ must be connected and compact. $f$ is one-one so it cannot be constant. It follows that $f(S^1) = [a, b]$ for $a \ne b$. Pick...

H: What does it mean for a value to be minimised? I am trying to solve this problem, but I do not understand what is meant bythe following expression being minimised $$ D = P_{k} + P_{j} $$ AI: A value is minimised when it becomes as small as it can. I expect that your $P_k$ and $P_j$ are points. Then $\|P_k-P_j\|$ is...
