H: can we conclude $f(m)=\sqrt2(\log m)^{1/2}$? If $$f(m)=\sup\{s: s^2/2\leq \log m\}$$ then can we conclude that $f(m)=\sqrt{2}(\log m)^{1/2}?$ AI: $$ \frac{s^2}{2}\leqslant \log m\iff |s|\leqslant \sqrt{2\log m} $$ Thus $f(m)=\sqrt{2\log m}$.
H: find the solution of $2x\sin{\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}dx+3y\cos{\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}dx-3x\cos{\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}dy=0$ A solution of the equation $$2x\sin{\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}dx+3y\cos{\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}dx-3x\cos{\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}dy=0$$ I know the answer $c\sin(3y/x)$ but I don't know...
H: Concept of 2-variable function for operators on an $n$-dimensional inner product space I'm reading the book "Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces (2nd Ed)" by PR Halmos. The concept of a 2-variable function (or polynomial) for operators is introduced in Theorem 1 of Section 84 on page 171 in the following setting: Two ...
H: How do the Averages Work? I am trying to figure out the average items sold per customer for the year 2019 I have multiple customers per day, who each have a random number of items. Sometimes a customer makes more than one purchase a day - about 6% of the time. In that case - all sales for that customer are consider...
H: If two random variables follow the same distribution, does it mean X=Y? The question here is: Find the covariance of $X$ and $Y^{2}$ when $X $~ $N(0,1)$ $Y $~ $N(0,1)$ Do $Cov(X, Y^{2})$ and $Cov(X, X^{2})$ have the same value? Or, is $Cov(X, Y^{2})$ equal to $Cov(X, X^{2})$ ? AI: This distinction is the entire po...
H: Is the following statement true: $((A \Rightarrow B) \wedge (B \in C)) \Rightarrow A \in C$? Just came up with problem that seems to be very basic, but I can't figure it out. I'm pretty certain it's not true. A, B are logical sentences and C is a set. Can you prove that below statement is true, or give a counterexa...
H: $A$ is positive definite iff $\det(A_k) > 0$ Let $A$ be a symmetric $n \times n$ matrix, and $V = \mathbb{R}^n$. Define $\langle v,w \rangle = v^t A w$ with $v,w \in V$. Show that $A$ is positive definite iff $\det(A_k) > 0$ for $1 \leq k \leq n$ where $A_k$ is the $k \times k$-matrix which is the left upper $k \ti...
H: How many paths are possible such that the area of the square cut off is exactly half the area of the entire square? A vertical polygonal path will be formed by picking one point from each row of the four by four grid of points below (Fig. 1), and then connecting these points sequentially from top to bottom. The are...
H: Prove $(a^2+b^2+c^2)^3 \geqq 9(a^3+b^3+c^3)$ For $a,b,c>0; abc=1.$ Prove$:$ $$(a^2+b^2+c^2)^3 \geqq 9(a^3+b^3+c^3)$$ My proof by SOS is ugly and hard if without computer$:$ $$\left( {a}^{2}+{b}^{2}+{c}^{2} \right) ^{3}-9\,abc \left( {a}^{3}+{b} ^{3}+{c}^{3} \right)$$ $$=\frac{1}{8}\, \left( b-c \right) ^{6}+{\frac ...
H: How to solve $\frac{2s^s}{(1-s)^{1-s}}\leq 3$? How to compute that $$\sup_s\{s\geq 1: \log \frac{2s^s(1-s)}{(1-s)^s}\leq \log 3\}?$$ AI: If you consider the function $$f(s)=\frac{2s^s}{(1-s)^{1-s}}$$ you have $$f'(s)=2 (1-s)^{s-1} s^s (\log (1-s)+\log (s)+2)$$ which is zero when $$\log (1-s)+\log (s)+2=0 \implies s...
H: $\alpha\in L$ algebraic over $K$ implies $\beta\in L$ algebraic over $K$ iff $\beta$ algebraic over $K(\alpha)$. The fact that $\beta\in L$ algebraic over $K$ implies $\beta$ is algebraic over $K(\alpha)$ is obvious. Since $\alpha\in L$ is algebraic over $K$, we have $[K(\alpha):K]=n<\infty$. Assume $\beta$ is alge...
H: Every nonzero homomorphism of a field to a ring is injective? I've read the following theorem: And am trying to understand what was done there. I think it is the following: We want to prove that $$\text{Non zero hom of field to ring} \implies \text{hom is injective}$$ I think they used the contrapositive: $$\ov...
H: How to find the probability of countable infinite sets? consider the set A = {1,2,3,...n}. If all subsets of A are equally likely to be chosen, what is the probability that a randomly selected subset of A contains 1? AI: The total number of subsets of A is given as $$n(\phi(A)) = 2^{n} $$ The way I get this is th...
H: Closure of family of hypersurfaces over a punctured disk Let $\Delta\subset \mathbb C$ be an open disk, $\Delta^*=\Delta\setminus\{0\}$ the punctured disk. Let $p:\mathcal{X}\to \Delta^*$ be a family of irreducible projective hypersurfaces of degree $d$. In other words, we have a diagram $\require{AMScd}$ \begin{CD...
H: Understanding the fulfillment of a condition required for applying the pasting lemma. Here is the solution of the question (which asks us to prove that the relation of homotopy among maps $X \rightarrow Y$ is an equivalence relation): My question is about the last part of proving transitivity. Why while applying...
H: Is $(X,T)$ is door space? A topological space $(X, T)$ is said to be a door space if every subset of $X$ is either an open set or a closed set (or both). Is the following given statement is true/false ? If$ X$ is an infinite set and $T$ is the finite-closed topology, then $(X, T)$ is a door space. My attempt : I t...
H: Pigeonhole Problem with Subsets Let $S$ be an arbitrary subset of $\{1, 2, ..., 99\}$ with $|S|=10$. Prove that there are two different subsets $A$ and $B$ (don't have to be disjoint) of $S$ so that $$\text{the sum of all the elements in $A$} = \text{the sum of all the elements in $B$}$$ Ex. $S=\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...
H: What is the sum of n terms 1.5.9+5.9.13+9.13.17…? How to solve this? My attempt is to write the $r^{th}$ term which is $$(4r-3)(4r+1)(4r+5)$$ Then let $p=4r+1$ The $r^{th}$ term becomes $$(p-4)(p)(p+4)=p^3-16p$$ Now we know summation $\sum p^3 =[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2$ and $\sum p = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$. Therefore, $$\su...
H: How do we denote the $0$ vector in a Quotient Space $V /W$? Just $0$ or $0 + W$? Unfortunately my textbook has no mention of the notation for this, nor can I find clarification for this online. AI: I think the most standard way to write it is just $0$, but you can also call it $0 + W$ or $[0]$. There is no fixed no...
H: Closed form of $\int_0^\infty \arctan^2 \left (\frac{2x}{1 + x^2} \right ) \, dx$ Can a closed form solution for the following integral be found: $$\int_0^\infty \arctan^2 \left (\frac{2x}{1 + x^2} \right ) \, dx\,?$$ I have tried all the standard tricks such as integration by parts, various substitutions, and pa...
H: Another proof by contradiction $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational. There's a famous proof that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational by assuming $\sqrt{2}=p/q$ for relatively prime $p$ and $q$ and then proving that this leads to $p$ and $q$ being both even which contradicts with them being coprime. Now there's something I noticed that m...
H: Simplify $4^3\sin^4(20^\circ)\sin^2(70^\circ)-4\sqrt3\sin^3(20^\circ)\sin(70^\circ)+3$ I was trying to solve a question where the two sides of a triangle were $$\frac{a\sin(20^\circ)}{\sin(70^\circ)}$$and $$\frac{a\sin(60^\circ)\sin(30^\circ)}{\sin(70^\circ)\sin(40^\circ)}$$ and the ange between them was $70^\circ$...
H: $A \subset B$ be a faithfully flat extension of domains and $B$ is integrally closed then $A$ is also integrally closed. Let $A \subset B$ be a faithfully flat extension of integral domains. If $B$ is integrally closed then I have to show that $A$ is also integrally closed. Assuming $L,K$ be the field of fractions ...
H: Determine if the statement is true or false. NBHM 2014 PhD question. If $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}$, $f(g(x))= g(f(x))$. If there exist $x_0 \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(f(x_0)) = g(g(x_0))$ then there exist $x_1 \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(x_1)= g(x_1)...
H: How do concepts such as limits work in probability theory, as opposed to calculus? When I am flipping a fair coin and say that as the number of trials approaches $\infty$ the number of heads approaches $50\%$, what do I really mean? Intuitively, I would associate it with the concept of a limit, as used in calculus:...
