H: What is the semantic of square brackets after the set denoting coefficients of polynomial? I have the following excerpt: Unless stated otherwise, we assume all polynomials take integer coefficients, i.e. a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[{\bf y}, x]$ is of the form $$f(y, x) = a_m · x^{d_m} + a_{m−1} · x^{d_{m−1}} + ...
H: Tangent of circumscribed circle I found a solution online which it said : "It's easy noted that $AG.AE$ = $AD^2$ = $AF^2$ (Using tangent of circumscribed circle)" I found this not obvious at all. I know that $AD = AF$ but why it had to equal to the product of two inline line? AI: Nevermind, I've found it! It's cal...
H: Product and Sum of Polynomial Roots The ratio of the sum of the roots of the equation, $8x^3+px^2-2x+1=0 $ to the product of the roots of the equation $5x^3+7x^3-3x+q=0 $ is $3:2$. What is the value $\frac{p-q}{p+q}$? Well I found out the sum of the roots of 1st equation is $-\frac{p}{8}$ and product of roots of s...
H: If $E(X^2)$ exists, $E(X)$ exists How do I prove this? Is it even true? I proved the obvious cases, but don't know how to prove/disprove the $0\lt x\lt 1$ case. IF $E(X^2)$ exists, $\sum_{x\in\omega}x^2P(x)\lt \infty$. Therefore: $$\forall x \le 0:\space \sum_{x\in\omega}xP(x) \le \sum_{x\in\omega}x^2P(x) = E(X^2)\...
H: What exactly are limits? So as far as I know, a limit of a function is the $y$ value that we get as $x$ gets closer and closer to the limit but remains distinct from the limit. Also, limit when approached from right should be the same as limit when approached from left or else the limit does not exist. The proble...
H: Which of the following groups is not cyclic? Which of the following groups is not cyclic? (a) $G_1 = \{2, 4,6,8 \}$ w.r.t. $\odot$ (b) $G_2 = \{0,1, 2,3 \}$ w.r.t. $\oplus$ (binary XOR) (c) $G_3 =$ Group of symmetries of a rectangle w.r.t. $\circ$ (composition) (d) $G_4 =$ $4$th roots of unity w.r.t. $\cdot$ (mult...
H: not injective/not surjective linear maps Let $S$ be the vector space of real sequences, and for $x=(x_1,x_2,\dots)$ define $\alpha(x)=(0,x_1,x_2,\dots)$ and $\beta(x)=(x_2,x_3,\dots)$. The problem was asking for few other things to do, but I got stuck at showing that the first is not injective, while the second is ...
H: How to define Conway's class of all games rigorously? I'm reading John Conway's On Numbers And Games. In the course of defining the surreal numbers, Conway defines the term game more or less as follows. $(\emptyset,\emptyset)$ is a game. If $L$ and $R$ are sets whose elements are games, then $(L,R)$ is a game. All...
H: Orthogonal projection $\alpha$ of $\mathbb{R}^3$ onto a plane Let $\Pi$ be the plane in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that contains $\textbf0,\textbf j,\textbf k$. Show that the orthogonal projection $\alpha$ of $\mathbb{R}^3$ onto $\Pi$ is a linear map. I'm more interested in finding this orthogonal projection, as I still don't ...
H: Need help in proving that $\frac{\sin\theta - \cos\theta + 1}{\sin\theta + \cos\theta - 1} = \frac 1{\sec\theta - \tan\theta}$ We need to prove that $$\dfrac{\sin\theta - \cos\theta + 1}{\sin\theta + \cos\theta - 1} = \frac 1{\sec\theta - \tan\theta}$$ I have tried and it gets confusing. AI: $$\frac{\sin\theta-\cos...
H: Probability $P(A < B)$ Given two independent and continuous random variables $A$ and $B$ with cumulative distributions $F_A$ and $F_B$, show that $$P(A<B) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} F_A(x)\, F'_B(x)\,dx.$$ Is this something obvious and available in text books ? AI: Let the density functions be $f_A(x)$ and $f_B(y...
H: Complex integral, correct? I am supposed to do the integral $$ \int_{\gamma_2} \frac{\sin(z)}{z+\frac{i}{2}} dz$$ where $\gamma_2:[-\pi, 3\pi] \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ , $\gamma_2(t)=\exp(it)$ for $ t\in [-\pi,\pi]$, $\gamma_2(t)=(1+t-\pi)\exp(it)$ for $t\in [\pi,2\pi)$ and $\gamma_2(t)=(1+3\pi-t) \exp(it)$ for $t\i...
H: Analyticity of Laplace transform Let $f(x)$ be a bilateral Laplace transform of a measure $\mu$: $$ f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-xt} d\mu(y). $$ Suppose that $f(x)$ converges absolutely in $(a,b)$, and $(a,b)$ do not contain the origin. It is always true that $f(x)$ is analytic in $(a,b)$? Or it is true just f...
H: Question on a theorem on Riemann surfaces In the book "Lecture on Riemann surface" of Forster, in the page 23, there is a theorem as follows: Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are Riemann surfaces, $p: Y\rightarrow X$ is an unbranched holomorphic map and $f:Z\rightarrow X$ is any holomorphic map. Then every lifting $g:Z\rightar...
H: A Differential operator. What are the fundamental solutions for the operator $$\mathcal D=a{\partial^2\over\partial x_1^2}+b{\partial^2\over\partial x_2^2}$$ on $\Bbb R^2 $ with standard cordinates $(x_1,x_2)$. Here $a,b\in \Bbb R$. Definition: A distribution $E\in D'(R)$is called a fundamental solution of an ...
H: Open sets and projections maps in metric spaces Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ metric spaces and $E=E_1\times E_2$ a metric spaces with some metric $d$. Let $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ the projections maps of $E_1\times E_2\rightarrow E_1$ and $E_1\times E_2\rightarrow E_2$ respectly, i.e, $$\pi_1(x, y)=x,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\pi_2(x, ...
H: weak derivative of a vector valued function Consider $T>0$ and $U$ a opensubset of $R^n$ ,bounded and with smooth boundary. Consider ${\Omega}_T = U \times (0,T]$. Let $u: {\Omega}_T \rightarrow R $ a smooth function. Define $h : [0,T] \rightarrow H^{1}_0 (U)$ given by $h(t) = u(. ,t)$ . What is the weak derivati...
H: A question on boundary of open set Let $\mathbb Q$ and $\mathbb R$ have the usual topologies. Is there an open set $N\subseteq \mathbb Q\times \mathbb R$ (with product topology) such that for every non-empty open subset $U\subseteq N$, the boundary of $U$ is not compact? AI: Sure. Let $N = (0,1)^2 \cap (\mathbb{Q}...
H: Proving that $\iint_S (\nabla \times F) \cdot \hat{n} dS =0$ I have the following question: Prove that $$\iint_S (\nabla \times \vec{F}) \cdot \hat{n} dS =0$$ for any closed surface $S$ and twice differentiable vector field $\vec F:\mathbb{R^3} \to \mathbb{R^3} $ . I need to prove this using Stokes' theorem. T...
H: The most general linear map of $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}$ Find the most general linear map of $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}$. Obviously, dot product is one. However, I'm not sure how do I show that it's the most general of them? Or maybe, something else is even more general? Hint appreciated! AI: As with any tw...
H: Operator Norm of a Matrix composed of Standard Basis and Fourier Basis Let $\mathbf{A}_n$ be an $n\times 2n$ matrix (where $n=2^k$) composed of Fourier basis and standard basis; that is, $$\mathbf{A}_n = \begin{bmatrix}\mathbf{I}_n & \mathbf{F}_n\end{bmatrix}$$ where $\mathbf{I}_n$ is the identity matrix and $\mat...
H: What is the dimension of an open subset of an affine euclidean space? And why? My question comes from an exercise from my differential geometry book: An open subset $M \subset \mathcal E$ is a smooth manifold of maximal dimension, i.e. $dim(M) = Dim(\mathcal E)$, and - for all p $\in$ M - $T_pM = E$ I used a restri...
