There are 2 observers both facing the same direction (let's assume positive y-axis in a 3D system). Initially, the observation vectors are parallel. The second observer spots the target. So, in terms of spherical co-ordinates, the observer tilts by angle $\phi$, pans by angle $\theta$ and measures the range of the targ...

This is a natural question which confused me a lot. I think generally it is true but I have no idea how to prove it. Also, can anyone raise any counter-example?

In a tech savvy world where electronics are part of nearly every aspect of modern life, society has become increasing energy-conscious when it comes to powering off to conserve as much energy as possible.

In Frank Schorfheide's class notes on likelihood functions of DSGE models, he expresses the value of the likelihood function for a given vector of parameters $\theta$, and time series $Y^T$ as: $$p(Y^{T}|\theta)=(2\pi)^{-nT/2}\left(\prod_{t=1}^{T}\left|F_{t|t-1}\right|\right)^{-1/2}exp\{-\frac{1}{2}\sum_{t=1}^{T}v_{t}F...
Radical expressions can also be written without using the radical symbol. We can use rational (fractional) exponents. The index must be a positive integer. If the index [latex]n[/latex] is even, then [latex]a[/latex] cannot be negative. We can also have rational exponents with numerators other than 1. In these cases, t...

In the $S'$ frame, your variables are $x' = x - t\cdot u \cos\theta $ and $y' = y - t\cdot u \sin\theta$. If you do the change of variable, you get that the motion now is described by $$x' = 0$$$$y' = -\frac{g}{2}t^2$$ So in your new frame of reference you have vertical free fall from rest. This is not very helpful in ...
Let $h[n]$ be the impulse response of a linear and time-invariant(LTI) system. If the signal $x[n]$ is input to the system, the output signal from the system is given by:$y[n]=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}x[k]h[n-k]$ This operation is called convolution and we say that the signal $y[n]$ is the convolution of the signal $x[...

Let $\{x_n\}$ a Cauchy sequence in a normed vector space $X$. Is $$y_n = \frac{x_n}{\|x_n\|}$$ another Cauchy sequence in $D = \{x\in X : \|x\| = 1\}$? Remark: The idea is prove that if $D$ is complete, then $X$ is also complete. Thanks so much. Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studyi...
This question already has an answer here: Imagine we have a portfolio allocation vector $(x_1, ..., x_n)$ with $x_1+...+x_n=1$; Also we assume that the vector has only elements $\geq 0$, so we have $|x_1|+...+|x_n|=1$, so no short selling; I want to generate such vectors $x$ and I want that they are somehow uniformly d...

In Sec. 2.4 of Inside Interesting Integrals (2015), Paul J Nahin says of $$I:=\int_0^{\pi/2}\ln (a\sin x)dx=\int_0^{\pi/2}\ln (a\cos x)dx$$that: For many years it was commonly claimed in textbooks that these are quite difficult integrals to do, best tackled with the powerful techniques of contour integration. As you’ll...
I saw this lovely tweet from PGS yesterday: Our basin studies team spotted this on fast-track imaging from Republic of Guinea. A 7.5 km diameter depression, with no salt or mobile shale, nor dissolution of fluid escape. We interpreted the structure as a complex meteorite impact crater. https://t.co/Z4TUOtsv54 #meteorit...
When modeling engineering systems, it can be difficult to identify the key parameters driving system behavior because they are often buried deep within the model. Analytical models can help because they describe systems using mathematical equations, showing exactly how different parameters affect system behavior. In th...
Suppose that we have an IID random sample $\mathbf{x} = (x_1, \dots, x_n)$ from a given distribution with the following PDF: $$\theta (1 - e^{-x})^{\theta -1}e^{-x}, \, x > 0, \, \theta > 0$$ Also, let's say that we have a non-informative prior distribution such that $\pi(\theta) \propto \frac{1}{\theta^c}$ where $c$ i...
There is a formula for the hypergeometric ($_2F_1$) that expresses it as a sum of Pochhammer symbols, times something that reads $$_2F_1(a,b,c;x) = \sum_{i=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a)_i (b)_i}{(c)_i} \frac{x^i}{i!}$$ This is a result that I easily verified. Result1 = Series[Hypergeometric2F1[a22, b22, c22, y], {y, 0, 10}]; R...

Which of the highlighted C–H bonds in the following compounds is weakest? (R = generic alkyl group) I personally thought that the answer was 1 but it is given as 4 in the answer key. I didn't understand how it is so. Chemistry Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for scientists, academics, teachers, and student...
