H: Does joint distribution affect Radon-Nikodym derivative? Given two real-valued random variables $X, Y$ with distributions $\mu_X, \mu_Y$. Suppose $\mu_X<\!<\mu_Y$, then the Radon-Nikodym derivative $\frac{d\mu_Y}{d\mu_X}(\cdot)$ exists $\mu_X$-a.e. on $\mathbb{R}$. It seems that joint distribution $(X, Y)$ does not...

H: Prove that for all sets $A$ and $B$ $A\subseteq B$ implies $A\cap B=A$. In the next proof we use the following lemmas: For $A$ and B sets, $A \subseteq B$ implies $A \cup B = B$. For all sets $A$, $A \cap A = A$. For all sets $B$, $B \cap \varnothing = \varnothing $. Assume that $A⊆B$. As a result, $A \cup B = B$. ...
H: Sum of complex roots' fractions According to this: If $\omega^7 =1$ and $\omega \neq 1$ then find value of $\displaystyle\frac{1}{(\omega+1)^2} + \frac{1}{(\omega^2+1)^2} + \frac{1}{(\omega^3+1)^2} + ... + \frac{1}{(\omega^6+1)^2}=?$ First I try like $\displaystyle\frac{1}{\omega+1} + \frac{1}{\omega^2+1} + \fra...
H: Why this approximation for $\pi$ is so accurate? Berggren and Borwein brothers in "Pi: A Source Book" showed a mysterious approximation for $\pi$ with astonishingly high accuracy: $$ \left(\frac{1}{10^5}\sum_{n={-\infty}}^\infty e^{-n^2/10^{10}}\right)^2 \approx \pi.$$ In particular, this formula gives $42$ billion...
H: Taylor Series of $\ln(1+x^3)/[\tan(x)-x]$ Hi i want to find the Taylor series of the function $$\frac{\ln(1+x^3)}{[\tan(x)-x]}$$ at $0$ until n=3 i have $\ln(1+x^3)=x^3-\frac{x^6}{2}+\frac{x^9}{3}+o(x^9)$ and $\tan(x)-x=\frac13 x^3+o(x^3)$ by devision I found that $$\frac{\ln(1+x^3)}{\tan(x)-x}=3-\frac{3}{2}x^3+o(x...
H: Existence of a continuous linear functional with $f(x_0)=||x_0||$ and $ \sup\{|f(x)|:x\in X,x\neq 0\}=1$ Let X be a linear, real or complex normed space and let $x_0\in X,x_0\neq0$. Show that: It exists a continous linear functional $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb{K}$ where $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb R,\mathbb C$ s.t :$$ f(x_0)=|...
H: Show a continuous function $f$ attains a maximum value in $\Bbb{R}$. "Let $f:\Bbb{R}\to \Bbb{R}$ be a continuous function such that $f(0)=2$ and $\lim_{x\to{-\infty}}f(x)=0$, and $f$ is decreasing when $x\geq 3$ . Show $f$ attains a maximum value in $\Bbb{R}$." Lets call the maximum value $M$. When $x\to \ -\infty$...
H: Interval of Existence for initial value problem: $\dot x = x^2$, $x(0) = x_0$ I am currently reading through a chapter of a book called 'Differential Dynamical Systems' by James D. Meiss and the initial value problem shown in the title is an example given in Chapter 3 (numbered 3.22) which is solved by separation o...
H: Show that $a_n:=\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{2n-1}$ converges Show that $a_n:=\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{2n-1}$ converges. If $(a_n)$ converges, the sequences is a Cauchy sequence. Which means: $\forall \epsilon >0 \,\,\,\exists N \in \mathbb{N}\,\,\,m,n>N:\left|\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{2n-1}-\frac{(-1)^{m-1}}{2m-1}\right|<\epsilon$ $\left|\...
H: Expected number of times a result comes up: Proof of formula If I am flipping a fair coin, and want to know the expected number of heads after $n$ flips, then I immediately know the answer is $\frac{n}{2}$. Similarly, with a fair die, the number of $5$'s that come up after $n$ rolls is on average $\frac{n}{6}$. Pre...
H: Does the existence of the integral $\int_0^\infty f(x)dx$ imply that f(x) is bounded on $[0,\infty)$ when f(x) is continuous in this same interval? Does the existence of the integral $\int_0^\infty f(x)dx$ imply that f(x) is bounded on $[0,\infty)$ when f(x) is continuous in this same interval ? edit I'm trying to ...
H: Find value for 3-dimensional function f such that f is continuous at (0,0,0) Let $f$ be a function $f: \mathbb{R}^3\setminus M \to \mathbb{R}$ where $M:= \{(x,y,z)^t \in \mathbb{R}^3\; |\; x = y = 0,\; z\in \mathbb{R}\}$ and $$f(x,y,z) = \frac{xz^2+y^3}{x^2+y^2}.$$ Examine if there's a possible value $m = f(0,0,0)$...
H: value of $g(3)$ in functional equation If $$\int^{2x+\cos(\pi x)}_{0}g(t)dt=x^2$$for all real $x$ and $g(x)$ is continuous function. Then $g(3)$ equals What i try: using Newton leibnitz formula $$\frac{d}{dx}\bigg(\int^{2x+\cos x}_{0}g(t)dt\bigg)=\frac{d}{dx}(x^2)$$ $$g(2x+\cos \pi x)(2-\pi\sin(\pi x)=2x$$ When i...
H: Given only the lengths of the three sides of a triangle, can we find if the triangle is impossible? I was recently trying to implement Hero's Formula and I was surprised to find it declare that the perimeter of a triangle with sides of length 3, 4, and 9 is a complex number. This suggests that given the lengths of ...
H: Maximum $n$ such that $e2^{1 - {k \choose 2}}{k \choose 2}{{n-2} \choose {k-2}} \leq 1$, as $k \to \infty$. Using: ${k \choose 2} \leq \frac{k^2}{2}$, and ${{n-2} \choose {k-2}} \leq \frac{k^2}{n^2}{n \choose k} \leq \frac{k^2}{n^2} \left(\frac{ne}{k}\right)^k$, we have $e2^{1 - {k \choose 2}}{k \choose 2}{{n-2...
H: Order of the sum of two meromorphic functions I haven't been around complex analysis at some time now and I need it for Riemann surfaces and I a bit confused about something. I know that if I have a meromorphic function $f$ with order $k$ at $p$ and a meromorphic $g$ with order $n$ at $p$ I will have that $ord_p(f+...
H: Detail in the proof that $\mathbb Z[\sqrt {10}]$ is not a UFD We want to show that $2$ is irreducible in $\mathbb Z[\sqrt {10}]$, so we assume: $$2=(a+b\sqrt{10})(c+d\sqrt{10}),\quad a,b,c,d \in \mathbb Z$$ While there exists an automorphism, call it $f$, sending $\sqrt {10} \mapsto -\sqrt {10}$, we can also write...
H: Graphs of $e^{-y} = x$ and $y = \frac 1x$: Why do they seem so similar on $[0, 1]$, but one converges while the other diverges? First things first, in the above graphs the one in blue is just a rotated version of ex from where the question did really form. I rotated it just in order to make comparisons easier. I...
H: write permutation as product of 3-cycles Let $\sigma$ be the permutation $\sigma=(1234)(35)(2653)^2(56)$. I've got to say whether $\sigma$ is a product of 3-cycles or not. My attempt was to simplify $(2653)^2=(36)(25)=(25)(36)$. Is this correct? At the end I'd get $\sigma=(63)(5)(241)$, which shows that it can't b...
H: checking uniform convergence of series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty x^n$ I have a doubt in a question in which I need to check the uniform convergence of the series given by: $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty x^n$$ on (-$1,1$) Now if the series is uniformly convergent,then its sequence of partial sums (s$_n$) is uniformly convergent. I ha...
H: If $X$ is path connected then $X$ has not isolated point. Lemma If $X$ path connnected then for any $x_0$ there exist a path such that connect $x_0$ with any other point $X$ of $X$. Statement If $X$ is path connected then $X$ has not isolated point. Unfortunately I can't prove the statement, but I'm sure that it ...
H: Joint distribution and covariance of Poisson process and waiting time Hi I am having a trouble solving for this problem where I have to find 1) Joint distribution of $W_{1}$, $W_{r}$ for $r\geq2$. 2) $\operatorname{Cov}(W_{1},W_{r})$ for $r\geq2$. [Notation explanation: $W_{r}=\min(t:N_{t}\geq r) $ is waiting t...
H: $\sup(a + B) = a + \sup B$ I believe my proof of this simple fact is fine, but after a few false starts, I was hoping that someone could look this over. In particular, I am interested in whether there is an alternate proof. For a real number $a$ and non-empty subset of reals $B$, define $a + B = \{a + b : b \in B\...
