Let $G$ be a finitely generated (in my case also amenable) group and $f:G\to[0,1]$. Suppose that there is a finitely additive probability measure $\mu$ on $G\times G$ and a real number $L$ such that $\int f(xsy)d\mu(x,y)\geq L$, for all $s\in G$. Question:Does there exist a finitely additive probability measure on $G$,...

We have already seen that if $t$ is time and an object's location isgiven by ${\bf r}(t)$, then the derivative ${\bf r}'(t)$ is thevelocity vector ${\bf v}(t)$.Just as ${\bf v}(t)$ is a vector describing how ${\bf r}(t)$ changes,so is ${\bf v}'(t)$ a vector describing how ${\bf v}(t)$ changes,namely, ${\bf a}(t)={\bf v...
Let $T(n)$ denote the total number of updates to the variable when $n$ people have entered the room. For example, with $n=3$ there will be $3!=6$ possible orders where the heights are $1, 2, 3$. Notice that once the height 3 person enters, no further updates will occur, so let's group the six possible arrangements by w...

You are given an undirected unweighted graph consisting of $$$n$$$ vertices and $$$m$$$ edges. You have to write a number on each vertex of the graph.

Please forgive me if this question is ill-defined. It's late here and I want to ask the question whilst it's still fresh in my mind. Motivation: Suppose we have a group $G$ given by a presentation $$P_G=\langle a, b\mid a^2, b^3, (ab)^2\rangle.$$ Then $P_G$ has the (oriented) graph $\Gamma_G$ in Figure 1: (This image c...
A dispersion relation tells you the form of $\omega (k)$. Since $E = \hbar \omega$ and $P = \hbar k$ you can see it as a relation between the energy and the momentum. Since we have from special relativity that $$ E^{2} = p^{2}c^{2} + m^{2}c^4$$ it is clear that we have $E = Pc$ for a photon. Also since the total energy...
In Markowitz' portfolio theory we can construct portfolios with the minimum variance for a given expected return (or vice versa). Across expected risks, this traces out the well-known efficient frontier. To find the so-called tangency portfolio, we look to solve: $$\max_x \frac{\mu^T x}{\sqrt{x^T Q x}}$$ Following Tütü...

Since $g_n(x) \le 2^x$ it is at least $f(n) \in \mathcal O(2^{n+1}-1) = \mathcal O(2^n)$. Let $x_n$ be the maximum point of $g_n(x)$, which is where $2^x = 2^{2^{n-x}}$. We get...

There is no mistake on your exercise sheet.

The first series is positive, so it either converges absolute, or diverges. My gut reaction was to try some back-of-the-envelope comparison. Let's see: $\sum \frac{1}{e^{k}}$ converges, and $\frac{1}{e^{k^3}}\leq \frac{1}{e^k}$, so $\sum\frac{1}{e^{k^3}}$ converges. The exponential dominates $\sqrt{k}$, so personally, ...

Roughly speaking there are two ways for a series to converge: As in the case of $\sum 1/n^2$, the individual terms get small very quickly, so that the sum of all of them stays finite, or, as in the case of $\ds \sum (-1)^{n-1}/n$, the terms don't get small fast enough ($\sum 1/n$ diverges), but a mixture of positive an...
We turn first to counting. While this sounds simple, perhaps toosimple to study, it is not.

OFDM decomposes the transmission frequency band into a group of narrower contiguous subbands (carriers), and each carrier is individually modulated. You can implement this type of modulation with an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). By using narrow orth...
This looks right, although I would emphasise that it is not really best practice to have to ask this question at this stage. The whole point of doing a particularly simple example is so that you can confirm that it's doing what you've already calculated analytically. It's quite important to do the analytic bit first to...
Club sets and stationary sets Closed and unbounded subsets of ordinals, more commonly referred to as club sets, play a prominent role in modern set theory. We intuitively think of clubs as the "large" subsets of $\kappa$ and the stationary subsets as the "not small" subsets of $\kappa$, though this is sort of a boring ...
In insurance mathematics, one often models the underlying of an insurance policy with a Black Scholes model on a filtered probability space $(\Omega,\mathbb{Q},\mathcal{F},\mathbb{F}=(\mathcal{F}_{t}))$ with $\mathbb{Q}$ being the risk-neutral measure. For example, one now would like to value a pure endowment product, ...
Answer a) .098 meters b) The box will not slide back down. Work Step by Step We first must find the acceleration on the ramp. We know that the two forces causing the block to slow down are the force of gravity and the force of friction. Thus, we find: $a = \frac{-F_gsin\theta - F_f}{m} \\ a = \frac{-F_gsin\theta - F_n ...
In efforts to reduce gas consumption from oil, ethanol is often added to regular gasoline. It has a high octane rating and burns more slowly than regular gas. This "gasohol" is widely used in many countries. It produces somewhat lower carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions, but does increase air pollution from ot...
Seminar Parent Program: Location: MSRI: Simons Auditorium Let $F=\{g_t\}$ be a one-parametr diagonal subgroup of $SL_n(\mathbb R)$. We assume $F$ has no nonzero invariant vectors in $\mathbb R^n$. Let $x\in X, \varphi\in C_c(X)$ and $\mu$ be the probability Haar measure on $X$. For certain proper subgroup $U$ of the un...
I am reading Probabilistic counting algorithms for database applications. In the introduction an algorithm for finding an intersection is specified: Sort A, search each element of B in A and retain it if it appears in A. It is claimed that if a, b are number of elements in A and B, and $\alpha, \beta$ are the number of...
Contents Before finally looking at the Monte Carlo method itself (next lesson), we need to introduce the important concept of Estimator. But let's first start with a quick referesher on the things we learned so far. A Quick Review In the last chapters we have introduced the concept of population parameter. We can use a...
Let ($A_n : n \in \mathbb{N} $) be a sequence of events in some probability space $( \Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P} )$. Set $A = \{ \omega \in \Omega : \omega \in A_n \text{ infinitely often} \} $ , $B = \{ \omega \in \Omega : \omega \in A_n \text{ for all sufficiently large } n \} $ Show that $ B = \cup_{n=1}^{\infty...
For which non-constant rational functions $f(x)$ in $\mathbb{Q}(x)$ is there $\alpha$, algebraic over $\mathbb{Q}$, such that $\alpha$ and $f(\alpha) \neq \alpha$ are algebraic conjugates? More generally, can one describe the set of such $\alpha$ (empty/non-empty, finite/infinite etc.) if one is given $f$? Examples: $f...
