H: If $a_n$ converges to $a$, can we say $a_n^c$ converges to $a^c$? I'm doing a lot of practice problems with sequences, and I've noticed a number of problems ask about the convergence of the sequence raised to a positive power. It seems like in all the examples that I've tried, if $a_n$ converges to $a$, then $a_n^c...
H: Method to solve factored quadratic diophantine equations? Is there a method that can solve all quadratic diophantine equations of the following type $$X (X + a) = Y (Y + b)$$ where $a,b$ are given integers? AI: $X (X + a) = Y (Y + b) \implies (2 X + a)^2 - (2 Y + b)^2 = a^2 - b^2$ Get finite set solutions of differ...

Perhaps using Riemann sums? Denote the s...

H: show $I(a,1) + I(-a,1)\ge2$ $I(a,b)$= $\int_1^e x^a\ln^bx \,dx, b > 0$ I need to show that $I(a,1) + I(-a,1)\ge2$ I took both integrals. For the first one I get: $I(a,1)$= $\int_1^e x^a\ln x \,dx$ = $\frac1{(a+1)^2}$($ae^{a+1} + 1)$ The second one should be the same but $-a$ will take place for $a$. Is there any e...

H: What does the notation $A\in\mathscr{B}(H_1, H_2)$ mean? I am sorry for the trivial question, but I am a little bit confused about this notation in literature. Let $H_1$ and $H_2$ be two Hilbert spaces. I am interested in understanding what means that an operator $A$ is bounded from $H_1$ to $H_2$, i.e. $A\in\maths...
H: The Axiom of Choice: Proof Validity Synopsis In Enderton's Element's of Set Theory, he introduces several forms of the Axiom of Choice. Currently, I've gotten through the first and second forms. Mainly: (1) For any relation $R$, there is a function $H \subseteq R$ with dom $H$ = dom $R$ (2) For any set $I$ and any...
H: Riemann Integration vs Lebesgue Integration If a function is not Riemann integrable, what does it mean geometrically? Is it that we can't use integration to find out area under the curve? So basically when a function is Riemann integrable then it can tell us about area. I am asking this because I saw a function ...
