H: law of large number modified statement The weak law of large number states that, given $Y_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} X_k$, where $X_k$ are random variables independent and identically distributed with finite expectation $\mu$, $$ \forall \delta>0, \forall \epsilon>0 \, \, \exists N>0\, \,\, s.t.\, \, \, P ( |Y_n/n - \mu| ...
H: numerical linear algebra 101 since I'm a programmer and I need linear algebra, I'm starting considering how to teach myself a little of numerical linear algebra, not really optimize things right from the start, but I would like to get how to decompose and "linearize" a matrix or a vector in a form that can be writt...
H: What's the symbol m in this sum? I'm supposed to write some code to calculate the inertia moments of a shape, but I am afraid I have been given too little information. The matrix that I must obtain is this one: $$ \begin{vmatrix} J_{xx} = \sum \limits_i m_i y_i² & J_{xy} = -\sum \limits_i m_i x_i y_i\\ J_{xy} = -...
H: Verify that the six matrices form the group I solved the problem myself and I want to check if my solution is legitimate. My solution usually has partial errors or is not solid enough. Thank you! Verify that the six matrices $$\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix},\begin{bmatrix}0&1&0\\0&0&1\\1&0...
H: Is there an injective operator with a dense nonclosed range? Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space. Is there an operators $A \in B(H)$ such that $Im(A) \subsetneq \overline{Im(A)} = H$ and $Ker(A) = \{0\}$ ? Bonus : We can build such operators by using some compact or shift operators (see...
H: Resolving a counterexample to the most fundamental probability concept; mutually exclusive and independence Suppose you roll a die $(1-6)$ and toss a coin each once. Let $A$ be the event that I get either heads or tails (let's say tails) and $B$ be the event that I roll a number $(1 - 6)$, (let's say $2$). So the s...
H: Is there a specific reason to choose $3$ and $1$ for evaluating these limits? I'm reading Gemignami's Calculus and Statistics. There are two examples of limits that left me confused: Example 5. Let $f$ be defined by $f(x)=x^2$. We now evaluate $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(\color{red}{3}+h)-f(\color{red}{3})}{h}$...
H: Proof that the topology of uniform convergence on $C(\mathbb R, X)$ is finer than the topology of pointwise convergence. The proof is from R. Engelking, General Topology and it relies on the following fact $$ f \textrm{ is continuous} \Leftrightarrow f(\overline{A}) \subseteq \overline{f(A)}. \qquad (1) $$ Propos...
H: Why is it so difficult to prove that the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) cannot be calculated in faster time than $N \log N$? As the title says, why is it so difficult to prove that the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) cannot be calculated in faster time than $O(N \log N)$? This is a famous open problem in mathema...
H: Partitions and Orbit Sizes If $U,V \subset S_n$ are subgroups with $S_n//U = \{id,g_2,...,g_e\}$ and $\alpha_j$ is $\frac{1}{j}$ times the number of $i\in [e]$ s.t $[V:V \cap g_i U g_i^{-1}]=j$ then $(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_e)$ is a partition of $e$. Now let $U=V \in \{V_4,D_4\}$ and $n=4$ ($V_4$ is the group with onl...
H: solve easy problem with group action Here is a simple problem which can be found in every elementary group textbook: $H,K$ are finite subgroups of group $G$, then $$|HK|=\dfrac{|H|\cdot|K|}{|H\cap K|}$$ Could you help me to prove it with group action? Thank you in advance AI: Show that the group $H^{\text{op}...
H: do fibres of morphisms of Noetherian rings have finite Krull dimension? Let $f:A \rightarrow B$ be a morphism of Noetherian rings. Let $p \in Spec(A)$ and let $C=B \otimes \kappa(p)$ be the fibre over $p$. Is it true that $\dim C < \infty$? How can we see that? Remark: $B \otimes \kappa(p) \cong B_S/pB_S$ where $S$...
H: Show $\cos(x+y)\cos(x-y) - \sin(x+y)\sin(x-y) = \cos^2x - \sin^2x$ Show $\cos(x+y)\cos(x-y) - \sin(x+y)\sin(x-y) = \cos^2x - \sin^2x$ I have got as far as showing that: $\cos(x+y)\cos(x-y) = \cos^2x\cos^2y -\sin^2x\sin^2y$ and $\sin(x+y)\sin(x-y) = \sin^2x\cos^2y - \cos^2x\sin^2y$ I get stuck at showing: $\cos^2...
H: A tough calculation involving hyperbolic contangents. From here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brillouin_function Define $$B_j(x)=\frac{2j+1}{2j} \coth \left( \frac{2j+1}{2j} x \right) - \frac{1}{2j} \coth \left( \frac{1}{2j} x \right)$$ I want to do this calculation ($m,j$ are integers): $$\langle m \rangle = \sum_...

H: Prove $A \bigtriangleup B = B \bigtriangleup A$ I`m trying to prove the following statement: $$A \bigtriangleup B = B \bigtriangleup A$$ I know that: $$A \bigtriangleup B = (A \cup B )\setminus (A \cap B )= (A \setminus B) \cup (B \setminus A)$$ I can do that with truth table. but want to prove it by formal way. An...
H: Successive Differentiation and division I am working on successive differentiation. I have ran into some confusion and would like some help with the process of differentiating when dealing with division. Here is the problem that sparked my intentions to post here: $$y = \frac{x^2 + a}{x + a}$$ I am reading Calculus...
H: How to denote an 'atomic' morphism in category? I want to distinguish between two disjoint classes of morphisms in a category: (1) those morphisms that are composed of other morphisms (other than identities) and could conceivably be factored into a sequence of other morphisms; and, (2) those morphisms that cannot b...
H: Addition of ideals Given a ring $R$ and ideals $A,C$ suppose we have $A + B' =A + B = C.$ I was wondering then what can we say about relation between $B$ and $B'$. Clearly, $B$ may not equal $B'$, but can we say something? Does it follow that $B= B' + D$ where $D$ is an ideal contained in $A$? Thanks! AI: In $\mat...
H: bijection between $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N}$ I understand that both $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N}$ are of the same cardinality by the Shroeder-Bernstein theorem, meaning there exists at least one bijection between them. But I can't figure out what such a bijection would be. The pap...
H: How to find $k[x_1,\dotso,x_n]/I$ concretely? I want to know if there is a way to find $k[x_1,\dotso ,x_n]/I$ in specific cases. For example how can we find concretely the ring $\mathbb{C}[X]/(X^2+1)$? How does one mod out $(X^2+1)$? AI: Over $\;\Bbb C\;$ : $$x^2+1=(x-i)(x+i)\implies $$ $$\Bbb C[x]/(x^2+1)=\Bbb C[x...
H: How to evaluate the definite integral? How to evaluate the definite integral? $$\int \frac{7}{3x+1}dx$$ I am having difficulties to finish the question: Below is what I did: $$ =\left.\frac{7}{3}\ln|3x+1|\right|_0^4$$ $$=\frac{7}{3}\ln(\dots.$$ AI: Your integration is just fine: All you have left to do is evaluate ...
