I was reviewing past exam questions for a math competition known as UIL Calculator Applications when I stumbled across the following question: A large amount of dough is rolled out and as many circular cookies as possible are cut from the rolled-out dough. The remaining dough is piled together, rerolled and more circul...

This post discusses how to introduce finite energy resources (ex. oil, natural gas) into the real business-cycle (RBC) model.

I am currently trying to understand a little bit of axiomatic set theory, following Enderton's fun book "Elements of Set Theory" and am a little unclear about the set of natural numbers as defined in Chapter 4.

The formal notion you're looking for is that of an affine space. You have already linked a question (2) to which I've given a fairly thorough technical answer, so I'll avoid the formalism here.

By definition, any language (decision problem) $L$ is defined as a subset of $\{0,1\}^*$, where $\{0,1\}$ is the alphabet. $L^c$ is said to be the complement of the language, and it seems to be defined as follows - $\forall w, w\in L \implies w \notin L^c$ and $w \notin L \implies w \in L^c$. Equivalently, according to...

Let $U \subset V$ a subset of $V$, and also let $s,t$ be two vertices such that $s \neq t \in V$ and $s, t \not\in U$. I need to write an algorithm that find the shortest path from $s$ to $t$ which visits only two vertices...

I have been thinking about it for a lot time during this days, but I can't still find a solution. Can someone give me an i...
Here in this account I just want to make sure, that I've grasped the concept of natural selection as is usually spoken by evolutionary biologists, truly the wording here are non standard and in some sense sloppy, yet I want to make sure that I've got this concept right. My account on what constitutes natural selection ...
Suppose $\left \{ x_{n} \right \}$ and $\left \{ y_{n} \right \}$ converge to the limits $x$ and $y$, respectively. Also, suppose that $y_{n}$'s are nonzero. I want to show that the sequence $\left \{ \frac{x_{n}}{y_{n}} \right \} \rightarrow \frac{x}{y}$. Let $\epsilon >0$. We can pick an $N$ such that $n \geq N$ $\Ri...
I'm reading Intro to Topology by Mendelson. The problem at hand is, Show that $\text{Bdry}(A)=\emptyset$ if and only if $A$ is closed and open. This was all the problem statement had, but I'm in the chapter covering closure, interior and boundary with respect to topological spaces. Here is my attempt at the proof, Supp...
I am having problems with part 2 but provided part 1 for context - I believe I have part 1 correct but could be mistaken. Let a Young-slits apparatus have slits separated by d. Let the incoming light contain frequencies in range $\Delta\nu$ centred on $\nu_0$. We wish to be able to see clearly ten fringes, five each si...
Many people (in different texts) use the following famous definition of the determinant of a matrix $A$: \begin{align*} \det(A) = \sum_{\tau \in S_n}\operatorname{sgn}(\tau)\,a_{1,\tau(1)}a_{2,\tau(2)} \ldots a_{n,\tau(n)}, \end{align*} where the sum is over all permutations of $n$ elements over the symmetric group. No...
I want an intuition of how this set is constructed more than a formal proof. At first I thought that the set was simply defined axiomatically but further reading showed me that there had been attempts to construct the set explicitly like the construction from Cauchy sequences. So what are the real numbers ? An axiomati...

Assume $\mathcal{S} := \{0, 1, \cdots \}$, $p(0,1)=1$ and $p(n,0)=p(n,n+1)=\frac{1}{2}$ for $n=1,2, \cdots$. Is $0$ recurrent or transient? So, basically this is an irreducible, closed but infinite Markov chain. Hence, we know that either all states are recurrent or transient. If I define $\rho_{n,0} := P(T_0 < \infty ...
$ST-CONN = \text{{(G,s,t) | G is directed graph, there's path from s to t}}$ I've learned the following deterministic algorithm to solve the problem in $log^2n$ space: $\psi(G,s,t,k) :$ $\hspace{1cm}\text{if k == 1: return 1 if there's edge from s to t, else return 0;}$ $\hspace{1cm}\text{foreach } v \in V(G) \text{:}$...
The wording in this article is a little ambiguous. I thought of two interpretations, the first of which is incorrect. The second is correct but it doesn't explain the bit about "preservation of the positive cone". It looks like it may be a case of mistakenly using that a mapping fixes a subset when it only preserves a ...
Rotations of second rank tensors are common in quantum mechanics and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance theory. The sums can often be simplified into simplified real components, but when many sums exist, simplification can be challenging to do by hand. For example, $V_{20}' = \sum_m V_{2m} D_{m0}^{(2)} (\phi, \theta, 0)$ has 5...
(Sorry was asleep at that time but forgot to log out, hence the apparent lack of response) Yes you can (since $k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$). To convert from path difference to phase difference, divide by k, see this PSE for details http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/75882/what-is-the-difference-between-phase-differ...
