In my posterior probability computation, I got the following integration and I could not figure it out. $$\int\limits^{\infty}_{0}\int\limits^{\infty}_{0}{\frac{1}{(x+y)^{3/2}}\exp\left\{-\frac{a^2}{2(x+y)}\right\}}\,dy\,dx$$ where $a$ is a positive constant Any help is appreciated.
I want to be sure that I understand how to show that a structure satisfies a sentence under a variable assignment, and suspect that I'm handling the computation of multiple quantifiers incorrectly. Consider the structure, (1) $M = \langle \{a\}, \emptyset \rangle$ (i.e., the structure whose domain contains only $a$ a...
In my textbook, I came across this interesting question which I am currently struggling to solve: If $\log_6 2 = a$ and $\log_5 3 = b$, express $\log_5 2$ in terms of a and b The solution given is $\frac{ab}{1-a}$ but I do not know the working behind this. What is it?
Currently in my third week of my first ODEs class and I've already encountered something I'm struggling with. My second homework assignment requires me to classify and solve some ODEs. He gave us four classifications: separable, linear, homogeneous, and Bernoulli. However, when reading through my text, I noticed there ...
For some arbitrary function: $f(x)$ within the interval $a<x<b$, should I just calculate the roots for $f'(x)$, and the points $f(a)$ & $f(b)$, and make deductions based around what is going on at those points, or is there some more rigorous or arithmetic method? Thank you
Let $\Omega S_1$ be the space of loops of $S_1$ based at $x_0 \in S_1$ with the topology of uniform convergence. We know that the path connected components of this space are in one to one correspondence with $\pi_1(S_1)$. Concretely this is because the a path in $\Omega S_1$ between two maps $\phi_a: S_1 \to S_1$ and...

Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be symmetric positive definite matrix and $\mathbf{b}\in\mathbb{R}^n$. How to prove that $A\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{b}$ if and only if $\mathbf{u}$ minimizes the so-called energy function $$F(\mathbf{v})=\frac{1}{2}\mathbf{v}^\mathsf{T}A\mathbf{v}-\mathbf{b}^\mathsf{T}\mathbf{v}.$$ What I try...
In a linear algebra text, the following is the definition of the inverse of a matrix An $n\times n$ matrix $A$ is invertible when there exists an $n \times n$ matrix $B$ such that $$AB = BA = I_n$$ And likewise in an abstract algebra textbook, the definition of the inverse of a group is Given that $G$ is a group wit...
I am reading a book in discrete mathematics and it assumes that a multiplication of two integers yields an integer. Although that this book's saying is justifiable since the book is making an assumption, I found that that this is "completely wrong but it is still a good estimation". let $n \ge 1$ be an integer. Then,...
Let $\{E_{j}\}$, $j = 1, 2, ..., \infty$, be measurable subsets of $[0,1]$. Also, $\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{\infty} |E_j| = M < \infty$ Let $S_n$ be the set of points in $[0,1]$ contained in at least $n$ of the $E_j$'s. How can we show that that $S_n$ is measurable, with $|S_n| \leq \frac{M}{n}$? I know that the $E_{...

Suppose I have $$dS_t = \mu(S_t,t) dt + \sigma(S_t,t)dW_t$$ What would be the process satisfying the following process of $y_t$? $$y_t = \int_0^t S_u du + \int_0^t S_u dW_u$$ I'm not quite sure about differentiating $y_t$. The following is what I did $$\frac{\partial y_t}{\partial S_t} =dt +dW_t $$ and $$\frac{\part...
I need some help figuring out how to work through this problem. Prove that $ u \cdot v = 1/4 ||u + v||^2 - 1/4||u - v||^2$ for all vectors $u$ and $v$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Sorry, forgot to include my work so far: I decided to ignore the 1/4 and deal with it later once I had a better understanding of the question. $= ...

One of the questions in Stewart's "Galois Theory" says: Let $p(t) \in \mathbb{Q}[t]$. Show that $p(t)$ has a unique expression of the form: $p(t)=(t-\alpha_1)\cdot \cdot \cdot (t- \alpha_r)q(t)$ (except for reordering the $\alpha_j$) where $\alpha_j \in \mathbb{Q}$ for $1 \leq j \leq r$ and $q(t)$ has no zeros in $\ma...
In software engineering, there is a coverage metric for testing called modified condition/decision coverage, or MC/DC for short. This metric is well-known in the avionics industry due to showing up in the DO-178B and DO-178C standards as part of the testing requirements for Level A airborne software. One way of thinkin...
What does it mean if someone says the "span of vectors" $\{(x,y,z),(a,b,c)\}$ contains the vector $(d,e,f)$? I am making up numbers here. Let me know if I need to insert actual numbers here to clarify.
I have been trying to disprove that if I have a sequence of random variables $X_n$, that $X_n \to a$, where $a$ is a constant, in distribution doesn't imply $X_n \to a$ almost surely. One example I came up with was where $X_n \sim N(0, n)$. $X_n$ converges in distribution to $1/2$, but I am not sure how to show almost ...
How do I prove the following using Natural Deduction? $$((P \land Q) \rightarrow R) \vdash (P \rightarrow R) \lor (Q\rightarrow R)$$ My current approach: So instead of proving $(P \rightarrow R) \lor (Q\rightarrow R)$, I figure I just need to prove $(P \rightarrow R)$ and use disjunction introduction. The problem is m...
In the book written by Karatzas & Shreve, at the page - 111; the authors have mentioned about a result: If $Z_{v}$ be a standard normal variable; then for $\epsilon \gt 0$ ; $\mathbb P (|Z_{v}| \leq \epsilon) \leq \epsilon$ I have computed : $\mathbb P (|Z_{v}| \leq \epsilon) = 1 - \sqrt\frac{2}{\pi}\int_{\epsilon}^...

I'm trying to solve this system $$ M\ddot{X}(t) = KX(t) $$ where M is a known diagonal matrix and K is a symmetrical known matrix. I'm asked to do the ansatz $Y(t) = M^{1/2}X(t)$ where $M^{1/2} = diag(\sqrt{m_1},...,\sqrt{m_N})$ so that it takes the new form $\ddot{Y}(t)=AY(t)$, can someone show me what they mean by th...
Given a ring $R$ and $R$-modules $A_R$ and $_{R}B$, we define the tensor product $A \otimes_R B$ as the free abelian group on $A \times B$ modded out by the subgroup generated by the elements of the following form: $$ (a+a',b)\!-\!(a,b)\!-\!(a',b) \quad\quad (a,b+b')\!-\!(a,b)\!-\!(a,b') \quad\quad (ar,b)\!-\!...

I was talking with a friend of mine and we wonder how many sequences of rational numbers on $[0,1]$ there exists. My first attempt was to consider that every sequence like that must be a subset of $\mathbb{Q} \times \mathbb{N}$ and because this is an infinite countable set, then all their subsets (functions) must be an...

$Γ(x)$ = $\int_0^{∞} e^{-t}t^{x-1}dt$ Plugging $(x-1)$ into this equation, I get $Γ(x-1)$ = $\int_0^{∞} e^{-t}t^{x-2}dt$ Integrating by parts, I eventually end up with $-e^{-t}t^{x-1}]_0^∞$ + $(x-1)$$\int_0^{∞} e^{-t}t^{x-2}dt$ I can turn the right part into $(x-1)Γ(x-1)$, but that still leaves me with $-e^{-t}t^{x-1}]...

I ran into some trouble proving the following: $(R \rightarrow (P \rightarrow Q))\vdash (Q\rightarrow P) \lor (P \rightarrow Q)$ My approach thus far: Honestly I'm really stuck. So basically my hypothesis requires this $R$, hence the first thing that came to my mind is the Law of Excluded Middle. Using $R$ is trivial. ...
How does one prove that: There exists no cyclic proper subgroup of $S_{15}$ that strictly contains the following permutation (of order $10$)? $$\sigma = (1, 2,3, 4,5, 6, 7,8,9,10)(11,12,13,14,15).$$

It is easy to show that $f(0)=0$ and $f(-x)=-x$. Here scalars are from rationals. If scalar is an integer then clea...
I am looking for a combinatorial proof for it. I know how to prove it mathematically. Expanding $(1+x)^n$ and replacing $x$ with $1$ will give me the result but I am not able to explain it combinatorially. Note: This is not a homework question. I am just curious.

I've moved this over to HSM. It seems odd that something that looks so much like a join [see below] would get given "the wrong symbol".

I've tried seeing if we can write $H$ as the intersection or product of normal subgroups, but haven't succeeded so far. I'd be grateful if someone could provide a hint in ...
So I've tried using the definition: $f$ is differentiable at $(x_0,y_0)$ iff $$ f(x,y)-f(x_0,y_0)=\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x_0)\cdot x+\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(y_0)\cdot y+o(\sqrt {(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2}) $$ So, trying to prove this relation (substituted $f$ for $f^2$, and performing the chain rule), I got thi...
This is a question from my exam in Calculus 1. Problem 6 Let $f: [0,\infty[ \to \mathbb{R}$ be continuously differentiable and $\lim_{x \to \infty} f'(x) = 0$. a) Show that for $n \in \mathbb{N}: \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( f(n+1) - f(n)\right) = 0$. b) Is $f$ necessarily bounded? Justify your answer. I started (a) w...
Suppose $f: \mathbb{C}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ $f$ is continuous, bounded, $f(z)\geq 0$. Can we claim that the following integration $$\int_{C_R}f(z)dz$$ is equal to zero? ($C_R$ is a circle centered on 0, with radius R ) and what if $R\rightarrow \infty$?
I am trying to re-learn some basic math and I realize I have forgotten most of it. Evaluate $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n}{n^4+n^2+1}$$ Call the terms $S_n$ and the total sum $S$. $$S_n < \frac{1}{n^3} \Rightarrow \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n}{n^4+n^2+1} = S < \infty$$ $$S_n = \frac{n}{n^4+n^2+1} = \frac{n}{(n^2+1)^2...
How to show that any path $\gamma:[a, b]\rightarrow\mathbb C$ is rectifiable and that $L(\gamma)=\int_{a}^{b}|\gamma'(t)|dt$. Definition: Consider a partition $P,a=t_0\lt t_1\lt \ldots\lt t_n=b\; of\; [a, b]$ and define $L(P)=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}|\gamma(t_{i+1}-\gamma(t_i)|$ The length of the curve , $L(\gamma)= sup\{L(P):...
Assume that we have a rational polynomial of the form: $$\chi\left(\omega\right)=\frac{\sum_{n=0}\left(c_n+ic_n^{\dagger}\right)\omega^{n}}{\sum_{n=0}\left(d_n+id_n^{\dagger}\right)\omega^{n}}$$ where $\omega$, $c_n$, $c_n^{\dagger}$, $d_n$, $d_n^{\dagger}$ are all real and $i$ is imagiary i. Let us further assume that...
The number of total outcomes of an experiment are $25$. If $A$ and $B$ are two non-empty independent events of the experiment such that outcomes in favour of event $A$ are $15$, then the minimum number of outcomes in favour of event $B$ can be?
Assume we have a lottery with payouts $(2,3,5)$. So if you buy a ticket you can win a pot which will payout your ticket price multiplied by one of those numbers. The organizer expects a margin profit of $4\%$ from all tickets. So if the player plays with $1\$$ the mathematical expectation of outcomes will be $0.96$. In...
First of all, i don't know if the correct word is normalise or not, but I'll try to explain my issue. I have a relationship between an object A and an object B equals 0.5 (max is 1) you can consider this relationship as a vector that its length is 0.5 I have another vector between A and C and its value is 0.3 I have an...
I have been wondering whether $U(1)$, defined as the group of complex phases (edit for clarity: I mean complex numbers of unit absolute value, such as $e^{i\alpha}$ with $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$) with multiplication as group operation, is a normal subgroup of $U(2)$, defined as the group of $2\times 2$ unitary matrices....
L.S., I am reading a paper of D. Blasius, where he states that the numbers Tr$(X^n) $ determine the conjugacy class of a semisimple element $X \in GL_n(\mathbb{C})$. I am having trouble proving this. I understand that for conjugate elements $A,B$ we have Tr$(A^n) =$ Tr$(B^n)$, it follows because $A = GBG^{-1}$ for some...
I would like to prove the sharp estimate for the $L_p$ norm to power $p$ with $1\leq p <\infty$. What is the constant $C$ here: $$\left\|\sum_{j=1}^Jf_j\right\|^p_p\leq C\sum_{j=1}^J\|f_j\|_p^p$$ By triangle and Jensen inequalities, we have $$\left\|\frac{1}{J}\sum_{j=1}^Jf_j\right\|^p_p\leq \left(\frac{1}{J}\sum_{j=1}...
Let $H$ be a normal subgroup of $K$, which is a subgroup of $G$. By just sketching some computations it seems that $H$ is not necessarily a normal subgroup of $G$ even if $K$ is a normal subgroup of $G$. I haven't proved it since I didn't really know how to structure the proof. My motivation for this is understanding ...
Let $N\in \text{Mat}(10 \times 10,\mathbb{C})$ be nilpotent. Furthermore let $\text{dim} \ker N =3 $, $\text{dim} \ker N^2=6$ and $\text{dim} \ker N^3=7$. What is the Jordan Normal Form? The only thing I know is that there have to be three blocks, since $\text{dim} \ker N = 3$. Thank you very much in advance for your...
