I have the following dynamical system: $\dot{x_1}= -x_2 + (x_1(1-(x_1^2+x_2^2)^2))$ , $ \dot{x_2}= x_1 + (x_2(1-(x_1^2+x_2^2)^2))$, $\dot{x_3}= \epsilon x_3$ . I am required to work out the flow for this system. I have switched it to cylindrical coordinates obtaining $\dot{r}=r(1-r^4)$ , $\dot{\theta}=1$, $\dot{z}=\eps...

Edit: I'm leaving the old post below, but before I want to write the proof as suggested by Bruce from his book, which uses the ideas in a more efficient way. Assume that $\|p-q\|<1$, with $p,q\in A$, a unital C$^*$-algebra. Let $x=pq+(1-p)(1-q)$. Then, as $2p-1$ is a unitary, $$\|1-x\|=\|(2p-1)(p-q)\|=\|p-q\|<1.$$So $x...
Here is a problem from Guillemin-Pollack: The graph of a map $f: X\rightarrow Y$ is the subset of $X\times Y$ defined by $$graph(f)=\{(x,f(x)):x\in X\}.$$ Define $F: X\rightarrow graph(f)$ by $F(x)=(x,f(x))$. Show that if $f$ is smooth, $F$ is a diffeomorphism; thus $graph(f)$ is a manifold if $X$ is. (Note that the no...

When we calculate the dynamic resistance \$r=(\frac{dv}{dI})\$, for any n-p junction, how is it different from the normal resistance \$R=\frac VI\$?

Can I be a pedant and say that if the question states that $\langle \alpha \vert A \vert \alpha \rangle = 0$ for every vector $\lvert \alpha \rangle$, that means that $A$ is everywhere defined, so there are no domain issues?

Previously, we used visualizations to see the closest customers to our salesperson, Bob. Now using a simple graph works fine when Molly only has one salesperson. However, as the business grows to have more salespeople, or when it becomes more difficult to just see who is closest, we need a more formalized approach. So ...

Skip to 0 minutes and 11 secondsWelcome again to "It's Your Turn" step. You're dealing today with trigonometric inequalities, which is quite a difficult topic.

To understand this you will also need to understand the first FTC, and I will show you this.

Suppose I have the term $t=\sqrt{-a^2-b^2}$, where $a,b\in\mathbb R$. Of course, we know that it holds$$t = \mathbb i \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$$which is (in my opinion) more convenient. How can I get Mathematica to factor this out? Especially for things like$$\cosh(\sqrt{-a^2-b^2}) = \cos(\sqrt{a^2+b^2})$$it would be very helpfu...
In some sense the empty set ($\emptyset$) and the global set of all sets ($G$) are the ends of the universe of mathematical objects. The world which $ZFC$ describes has an end from the bottom and is endless from the top. Even in a straight forward way one can find an equiconsistent theory (respect to $ZFC$) which its w...
Given a finite subset $S$ not containing the identity element in a residually finite group $G$, does there always exist a normal subgroup of $G$ which has finite index (in $G$) and which avoids $S$?

My question is about the realization of the symmetric group $S_n$ as a galois group of a real and normal field extension $K/\mathbb Q$.

Short Answer: Your work is perfectly fine if your lower and upper integral limits satisfy $0 < a \leq b$. In that case your answer $2u - \ln(u)$ even has a nice closed form purely in terms of $x$: $$ \int_a^b \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x+\ldots}}}} = \Big[\big(1 + \sqrt{4x + 1}\big) - \ln\Big(\frac{1}{2}\big(1 + \...

The Yoneda Embedding Last week we began a discussion about the Yoneda lemma.

A system of inequations with one variable is a set of inequations of a variable that act simultaneously, that is, the solution points must satisfy all the inequations of the system.

Preliminary model comparisons have indicated good fit to the data for a gamma distribution. The experimental design is a straightforward ANOVA-type hierarchical mod...
In atmospheric physics we use often a variety of vertical coordinates, $z$ the height above some reference surface, or $r$ as distance from the planetary center.However sometimes it simplifies the ... What is the difference between the Hydraulic diffusion equation and the Richards equation in groundwater dynamics? I wa...
After my series of post on classification algorithms, it’s time to get back to R codes, this time for quantile regression. Yes, I still want to get a better understanding of optimization routines, in R. Before looking at the quantile regression, let us compute the median, or the quantile, from a sample. Median Consider...
Suppose that we have a sequence $\{a_n\}$ with $a_n\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ for all $n$. What I wonder is that is it possible to define a 'limit' for this kind of sequences? Of course this 'limit' should make some sense. For example intuitively if $a_n=(\frac{-1}{n},\frac{1}{n})$, then $\lim a_n$ should be $\{0\}$, or if $...
If I have two functions in a convolution like $$X*Y=1$$ $$X*Z=1$$ then it means (trivially) $Y=Z$. Is this correct or are there subtleties in the convolution theorem where $Y=Z$ isn't always true?

\begin{align}Z_1 & = X+Y \\[4pt]Z_2 & = \frac X {X+Y} \\[12pt]X & = Z_1 Z_2 \\[4pt]Y & = Z_1(1-Z_2)\end{align} Suppose you've figured out that the support of $Z_1$ is $[0,\infty)$ and the support of $Z_2$ is $[0,1]$. Then certainly the support of $(Z_1,Z_2)$ is a subset of $[0,\infty)\times[0,1]$. The question is wheth...
The Annals of Probability Ann. Probab. Volume 24, Number 1 (1996), 237-267. Transience, recurrence and local extinction properties of the support for supercritical finite measure-valued diffusions Abstract We consider the supercritical finite measure-valued diffusion, $X(t)$, whose log-Laplace equation is associated wi...
I try to find a good proof for invertibility of strictly diagonally dominant matrices (defined by $|m_{ii}|>\sum_{j\ne i}|m_{ij}|$). There is a proof of this in this paper but I'm wondering whether there are are better proof such as using determinant, etc to show that the matrix is non singular. The proof in the PDF (T...
I had a system of three PDEs $$\frac{\partial \theta_h}{\partial x}+\beta_h (\theta_h-\theta_w) = 0$$ $$\frac{\partial \theta_c}{\partial y} + \beta_c (\theta_c-\theta_w) = 0$$ $$ \lambda_h \frac{\partial^2 \theta_w}{\partial x^2} + \lambda_c V\frac{\partial^2 \theta_w}{\partial y^2}-\frac{\partial \theta_h}{\partial x...
I'll be teaching an introductory course in algebraic number theory this fall (stopping before class field theory). I'm looking for a good list of "special topics" I can include to illustrate the general theory. In other words, attractive theorems (preferably off the beaten path) that can be proved using the basic resul...
Good day, I have an old exam without solutions and there is the following exercise: Let $(Y_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables which are uniformely distributed on $[0,1]$. Further define $X_n :=\min\{Y_1,...,Y_n\}$. Show: (i) $F_n(t)=[1-(1-t)^n] 1_{[0,1...
I have been fiddling around trying to understand coordinate transformations in dynamical systems. I know the standard way to convert the system from cartesian coordinates to polar, but am having trouble reversing it. I know the standard transformation equations: $$ r\cos(\theta)=x,\quad r\sin(\theta)=y,\quad r^2 = x^2+...
Why is $e^{i2\pi Nf_snT}=1$ in snippet from book? Because $Tf{_s}$=1 and $N$ and $n$ are integers. So the exponent becomes 2$\pi$ times an integer, say $K$. But $e{^{i\theta}} = \cos(\theta)+i\sin(\theta)$. Therefore $e{^{i2K\pi}} = 1$. A try without maths: $x(t)$ gives you your location in the complex plane at time $t...
