Now the first thing that strikes me is that $f(x)$ is not an even function. So this troubles me a bit since I would normally use $$\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x)dx...
H: Justification of restricting to functions with finite support in the definition of ordinal exponentiation For ordinals $\alpha$ and $\beta$, the ordinal $\beta^\alpha$ is defined to be the epsilon-image of the well-ordered structure $\langle F,<\rangle$, where $F$ consists of the functions $f:\alpha\rightarrow\beta...
H: What does this theorem statement mean? This is from Royden's Real Analysis book (4th edition). On page 17, Proposition 9 says: Every nonempty open set is the disjoint union of a countable collection of open intervals. At first, I thought it meant that: if $X$ is a non-empty open set then there is a set of interv...
H: Find the number of symmetric closure There is a set A with n elements. R is relation of set A. R has 3 elements. When n ≥ 4, the symmetric closure of the R was obtained. Find a minimal and maximum value of number of R elements. I want to figure out this question. I think I can draw a matrix to prove this, but I don...
H: When is a function not a local homeomorphism? my background is engineering and I am very new to the topology. I think I got the concept of a local homeomorphism, but I cannot come up with a concrete example that is a continuous surjection but not a local homeomorphism. For example, if I have a map $f:\mathbb{R}^n\t...
H: How to figure the next number in this sequence?

The number precise that the following equation is a non-linear equation of order 1 with x>0. $$y' + {{y\ln(y)}\over x}= xy$$ So far, I tried 2 different methods to solve them. As suggested by internet (l...
H: Floating Numbers in Combinations What could be the answer to ${\displaystyle {\binom {2.5}{2}}}$ is it defined or considered as $0$ or $1$? AI: The answer could use the gamma function: $$\binom {2.5} 2=\dfrac{2.5!}{0.5!\times2!}=\dfrac{\Gamma(3.5)}{\Gamma(1.5)2}=\dfrac{2.5\times1.5}2=1.875.$$
H: Degree of pole of $\frac{1}{\cosh(z)}$ I'm having difficulties with calculating the singularity of $\frac{1}{\cosh(z)}$. So far, I have the complex zero at $z = i \frac{\pi}{2}+i \pi k$ with $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ from which it would follow that that is the only singularity. My problem is, how would I show that it is a...
H: For (Lebesgue) measurable functions $f$ and $g$, if $f=g$ a.e., then $ \int_{E} f=\int_{E} g. $ Problem Let $f$ and $g$ be bounded (Lebesgue) measurable functions defined on a set $E$ of finite measure. If $f=g$ a.e., then $$ \int_{E} f=\int_{E} g. $$ Attempt Let $f,g:E\to \mathbb{R}$ be a (Lebesgue) measurabl...
H: If $\text{adj}A=\left[\begin{smallmatrix}1&-1&0\\2&3&1\\2&1&-1\end{smallmatrix}\right]$ and $\text{adj}(2A)$ is $2^k\text{adj}(A)$, find $k$ I have thought of a solution for this, but I know it’s wrong. I don’t know what’s wrong with the procedure, I just solved it instinctively. $$\text{adj} A =A^{-1}|A|$$ So for...
H: Minimizing costs of a specific geometry shape I have geometry mathematical problem. I have a shape that is made of a cylinder and two half spheres as to top and bottom. How can I minimize the cost of this shape when the volume is known and the cylinder part costs $k_1$ dollar per square meters and the sphere part c...
H: Improving the Cauchy's bound on the absolute values of the roots of the monic polynomial $x^n=m \times \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} x^k$ Given a polynomial $x^n=m \cdot \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} x^k$ (for all $m,n \in \mathbb{N}, m \geq 2,n\geq 2$), the numerical computation of roots for different $n$ and $m$ shows, that the absolute v...
H: Common eigenvectors implies simultaneously block diagonalizations? Suppose $A,B$ are symmetric matrices of the same size. If $A,B$ have a common eigenvectors, can we block diagonalize them at the same time? More specifically, suppose $A$ and $B$ have one common eigenvector $v$ , and $Av = \lambda v$ and $Bv =\mu ...

H: The norm $\|S-Q\|_F$ where $Q$ is orthogonal is minimised by $Q=I$ Problem: Suppose that $S$ is symmetric and semi-positive-definite. Let $\|\cdot \|_F$ be the Frobenius norm. Show that $$\|S-I \|_F \leq \|S-Q\|_F$$ for all orthogonal matrices $Q$, where $I$ is the identity matrix. Attempt: So from what I know, th...
H: Prove that a function is uniformly continuous in $[a,\infty)$ Let $f:[a,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. For every $\varepsilon>0$ there exist $0<\delta_{\varepsilon}$ and $a<c_{\varepsilon}\in\mathbb{R}$ so that for every $x_{1},x_{2}>c_{\varepsilon}$ so that $|x_{1}-x_{2}|<\delta_{\varepsilon}$ it...
H: How to calculate percent dynamically? $65$ is $100 \%$ and $55$ is $0 \%$. How can I calculate the percentage of all other numbers, , starting from 55 to 65? AI: If you consider the points $(65,100)$ and $(55,0)$,then the line joining them is $$ \frac{y-0}{x-55}=\frac{100-0}{65-55}.$$ This gives us $$ y=10(x-55).$$...

H: convergence of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac {\sin (nx)}{n^{\alpha}}$ I'm trying to understand why the series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac {\sin (nx)}{n^{\alpha}}$$ converges for $\alpha > 0$. At the end of the prof for $0 < \alpha \le 1 $ it is not clear to me two passages. My book says that this result is obvious for $\...
H: Is this a property of isomorphisms? In a homework problem I was doing, I was trying to show that $U(8)$ is not isomorphic to $U(10)$. They used that, supposing $f: U(10) \rightarrow U(8)$ was an isomorphism, $|f(3)| = |3| = 4$ and there are no elements of order $4$ in $U(8)$, thus disproving that any such isomorphi...
