AI: There are $n!$ ways to arrange $n$ distinct numbers. The condition $p_1 > p_2 > \dotsc > p_n$ singles out one of these ways. If all permutations ...
H: Difference between quaternions and rotation matrices This is a really simple question, I guess. Do quaternions cover the same set of rotations as rotation matrices? I assume the answer is yes, they both can represent SO(3), but I'm unsure about the sources which prove that. Extending the question a bit further, whe...
H: recipe for infinitely many irrational numbers - or is it? What if we write 0. and then throw a coin and depending on the result continue the number with 1 or 0 and continue this process indefinitely. It seems like a recipe for producing irrational numbers. Are these numbers really irrational? Are they transcendenta...
H: How find this linear equation $-x_{1}-x_{2}-x_{3}-\cdots+(2^n-1)x_{n}=2^na$? let $a\in R$,then solve this follow equation: $$\begin{cases} x_{1}-x_{2}-x_{3}-\cdots-x_{n}=2a\\ -x_{1}+3x_{2}-x_{3}-\cdots-x_{n}=4a\\ -x_{1}-x_{2}+7x_{3}-\cdots-x_{n}=8a\\ \cdots\cdots\cdots\cdots\cdots\cdots\\ -x_{1}-x_{2}-x_{3}-\cdots...
H: Let $\{a_n\}$ be a positive monotonic decreasing sequence of real numbers. Show $\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac 1 k \sum_{n=1}^k a_n = \inf a_n$ Let $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a monotonic decreasing sequence of positive real numbers. Show that $\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac 1 k \sum_{n=1}^k a_n = \inf a_n$ ...
H: Complex numbers inequality Let $z$ , $w$ $ \ \in \mathbb{C}$ with $|z|$ , $|w| < 1$. Then prove that $|\frac{z-w}{1-z\bar{w}}| < 1$. What I have noticed : $|z-w| = |w||\frac{z\bar{w}}{|w|} -1| $ but I don't know how to proceed. AI: $$|\frac{z-w}{1-z\bar{w}}| < 1<=>|z-w|<|1-z\overline w|<=>(z-w)(\overline z-\overlin...
H: Differential forms as functionals on curves Please give me a reference to a book or lecture notes where the following stuff is studied. Let $M$ be a Riemann surface with boundary $\partial M$ (but not necessarily, any smooth $n$-dimensional manifold suffices if the following statements make sense in this case). Wh...
H: Can $f(x)>g(x)$ be implied from $\frac{df(x)}{dx}\gt \frac{dg(x)}{dx}$? I am new to functions. My question is Can $f(x)>g(x)$ be implied from $\frac{df(x)}{dx}\gt \frac{dg(x)}{dx}$? AI: Given that $f(a)>g(a)$ at $a$ and $f'(x)\geq g'(x)$ for all $x>a$, you can deduce $f(x)>g(x)$ for all $x>a$ inductively. But the...
H: What the symbol $\subseteq$ represents generally? My book says that $\subset$ is used to represente any subset, proper or improper, needing in this case to show the anti symmetric property of sets. ($A = B \iff A \subset B \, \, \wedge \,\, B \subset A)$ And $\subseteq$ is used specifically to represent improper su...
H: Numerical Integration of $g(x)=4\sqrt{1-x^2}$ The limits of integration are $[0,1]$ and thus the result should be $\pi$. My book suggests an elegant way to evaluate the integral by Monte Carlo Integration but I was wondering, can we reach the same result with an easier way? Thank you. AI: Hints: $$\sin u:= x\implie...
H: On derivatives... I have a quick question here. I hope someone can help. I haven't done calculus for a long time so I seem to missed out on details. If $x=g^{-1}(y)$ and $g$ is monotonic and is differentiable for all $x$, how did it happen that $$\frac{d}{dy}g^{-1}(y)=\frac{1}{dg(x)/dx}|_{x=g^{-1}(y)}$$ I tried to...
H: Show two graphs are not isomorphic I know this graphs are not isomorphic. However they have the same number of vertex and edges, and the same degree sequence, is not the most easy case. If im correct, the graphs are isomorphic if evey posible bijection between vertex preserve adjacencies, then if i find just one...
H: Do Symmetric problems have Symmetric solutions? There is a general notion of Symmetry in mathematics, that of an object being constant under some transformation. If we think of our object as being a "mathematical problem" we can see certain mathemtical problems have symmetries in them, in terms of how the problem i...
H: quotient of two entire functions Suppose we have a quotient of two entire functions , i.e. $g(z)=\frac{f(z)}{h(z)}$ where $f,h$ are entire functions in complex plane. If $f$ and $h$ have the same set of zeros, what can we tell from the order of these zeros? For example, if we have $f(z_0)=h(z_0)=0$, what can we say...
H: Lebesgue measure of algebraic irrational numbers in $\mathbb{R}$ Find all Lebesgue measurable subsets $A \subset\mathbb{R}$ such that all $B\subset A$ is measurable. I argued that if the measure is positive then $A$ is an interval so we can construct the Vitali set and thus it'd have non-measurable subsets. So $A$ ...
H: $K$ and $L$ homeomorphic, then $C(K)$ is isomorphic to $C(L)$ Can someone sketch the proof (or give me some reference) of the following fact : If $K$ and $L$, compact and Hausdorff spaces, are homeomorphic then the lattices $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic. (I am aware this is half of Kaplansky theorem, but I'm cu...
H: Confusion about extension of functionals Assume that $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded set and take a function $f:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ which belongs to $L^2(\Omega)$ but does not belongs to $L^q(\Omega)$ for $q>2$. Define a bounded linear map $T:L^2(\Omega)\to\mathbb{R}$ by $$\langle T,g\rangle=\int_\Omega ...
H: meaning of the symbol $Z_n^*$ in discrete mathematics I was reading discrete Mathematics, and i found a symbol $$Z_n^*.$$ I don't know what it means. The text says that the "image" with the multiplication operator is an abelian group. can any one explain. AI: maybe the author is talking about the group of unit elem...
H: Relatively prime polynomials If $f(x)$ is relatively prime to $p(x)$ in $F[x]$ prove that there is a polynomial $g(x) \in F[x]$ such that $f(x)g(x) ≡ 1_F \pmod{ p(x)}$. Now it has just occured to me that this is a field we are working in and not a ring because we are using an $F$. This is just an assumption, so I d...
H: How do i get $b$ from ${b\over2-3ab}=2$ I have this expression: $${b\over2-3ab}=2$$ So now i try to get $b$ I started with: $${2-3a} = {1 \over 2}$$ But how you can see $b$ gets lost, what did i wrong? Thanks! My teacher said the right answer would be $b = {4\over 6a+1}$ AI: As I see it, you did two steps: $$ \frac...
H: How prove this $\frac{a}{(bc-a^2)^2}+\frac{b}{(ca-b^2)^2}+\frac{c}{(ab-c^2)^2}=0$ let $a,b,c\in \mathbb{R}$, if such $$\dfrac{1}{bc-a^2}+\dfrac{1}{ca-b^2}+\dfrac{1}{ab-c^2}=0$$ show that $$\dfrac{a}{(bc-a^2)^2}+\dfrac{b}{(ca-b^2)^2}+\dfrac{c}{(ab-c^2)^2}=0$$ Does this problem has nice methods? My idea:let $$(ca-b...
H: Closed subspace of Hilbertspace Let $X$ be a norm closed subspace of a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. Is it true that if $x_n \in X$ converges weakly to $x \in \mathcal H$, then also $x \in X$ ? AI: Yes. Let $Y=X^\perp.$ Then for every $y\in Y$ we have $\langle x,y\rangle=\lim_{n\to\infty} \langle x_n,y\rangle=0.$ Hen...
H: Work done by gravitational force In my calculus class we learned about line integrals, and for homework we have exercise to find work done by gravitational force on material dot with mass $m$ which follows path of the elipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1$ in second quadrant in positive direction (clockwise). I...
H: The meaning of $Z_a$, where $Z$ is a partitioning of $A$ and $a \in A$ I am unsure about the common usage of subscripting a set with something, more precisely something which might be a member of that set or some other set (as opposed to, say, subscripting a set with an integer for reasons of indexing). The text w...
