H: Is an invariant or reducing subspace necessarily the image of a spectral projection? In the following, the section numbers I mention are from Rudin's Functional Analysis text, Chapter 12. Let $T$ be a bounded normal operator in the (not necessarily separable) Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}$. Let $E$ be the resolution ...
H: If $\mathbb{R^k}= \cup^{\infty} F_n $ where $ F_n $ is closed, then at least one $ F_n $ has non empty interior. Question: If $\mathbb{R^k}= \cup^{\infty} F_n $ where $ F_n $ is closed, then at least one $ F_n $ has non empty interior. closed definition: a set E is closed if every limit point of E is a point of E...
H: Find integers $1+\sqrt2+\sqrt3+\sqrt6=\sqrt{a+\sqrt{b+\sqrt{c+\sqrt{d}}}}$ Root numbers Problem (Math Quiz Facebook): Consider the following equation: $$1+\sqrt2+\sqrt3+\sqrt6=\sqrt{a+\sqrt{b+\sqrt{c+\sqrt{d}}}}$$ Where $a,\,b,\,c,\,d$ are integers. Find $a+b+c+d$ I've tried it like this: Let $w=\sqrt6,\, x=\sqrt...
H: How to solve $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} exp(-\sqrt{2\pi}x-\dfrac{(y-x)^2}{2})dy$ What i tried was: $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} exp(-\sqrt{2\pi}x-\dfrac{(y-x)^2}{2})dy = -\dfrac{1}{y-x}exp(-\sqrt{2\pi}x-\dfrac{(y-x)^2}{2})|_{-\infty}^{\infty}$ The exp dominates the expression so it goes faster to $0$ for $y$ that approac...
H: How to construct a linear system that has no sol Construct a linear system that has no solution. Unknown Variable counts must be more than the equation count. Is it possible an equation like this? What are needed? AI: Here is an example which might be useful. $$ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 2 & 2 & 2\\ \end{bmatrix}...
H: Show that $p \to q$ is a tautology if and only if $P \subseteq Q$. I really don't know how to approach this. I wrote out the truth table for $p' + q$ in which each row has a value of $1$ apart from when $p = 1$ and $q = 0$. Intuitively if $q = 0$ then $Q$ is a null set. And if $P\subseteq Q$ then that means $\{1\}...
H: What are the values of $a$ for which this integral converges? What are the values of a for which this integral converges? $$I = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\sin x}{x^a}\,dx.$$ I tried comparing it with the integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^a}\,dx.$$ but I couldn't get anything out of it. Any help would be appreci...
H: Find the area between $(y-x+2)^2=9y, \ \ x=0, \ \ y=0.$ Find the area between $$(y-x+2)^2=9y , \ \ x=0, \ \ y=0.$$ The graph is attached below. The area between these lines is $$A=\int_0^2 ydx$$ From $(y-x+2)^2=9y \ \ (*)$ we get $$x=y+3\sqrt{y}+2 \implies dx=(1+\frac{3}{2\sqrt{y}})dy$$ Thus, $$A=\int_0^2 ydx=\in...
H: Why is grouping $2n$ students into pairs NOT equal to $^{2n}C_2$? I just don't understand. The way to couple $2n$ people into pairs $\dfrac{2n!}{(n!(2!))^n}$ I get this reasoning. $2n!$ is the rearrangement of the $2n$ students, divide it $n!$ and $2!$ to get rid of repeated groupings. Shouldn't $^{2n}C_2$ give me ...
H: question on Natural Log, $\lim \limits_{n\to∞ }(1+\frac{1}{n} + \frac{1}{n^2})^n $ I'm curious what is the solution of this. Is this just same as ordinary natural log? $\lim \limits_{n\to∞ }(1+\frac{1}{n} + \frac{1}{n^2})^n =e?$ A few people says the $\frac{1}{n^2}$ just goes to $'0'$, so it's same as $'e'$. But w...
H: Prove $\frac{a^2}{(a+b)^2} \geqslant \frac{4a^2-b^2-bc+7ca}{4(a+b+c)^2}$ Let $a,\,b,\,c$ are positive numbers. Prove that $$\frac{a^2}{(a+b)^2} \geqslant \frac{4a^2-b^2-bc+7ca}{4(a+b+c)^2}. \quad (*)$$ Note. My proof is use sos. Form $(*)$ we get know problem $$\frac{a^2}{(a+b)^2}+\frac{b^2}{(b+c)^2}+\frac{c^2}{(c+...
H: Prove that V is an identity operator Recently I have attended linear algebra course, unfortunately it was more focused on practice, when I've discovered that I decided to focus more on theory to boost up my skills during summer vacation. Yesterday I've came across following task and literally have no idea how to so...
H: A question about convergence of a sequence Theorem. Let $X$ a uniformly convex Banach space. Let $\{x_n\}$ be a sequence in $X$ such that $x_n \rightharpoonup x$ and $$\limsup\lVert x_n\rVert\le\lVert x\rVert$$ then $x_n\to x.$ Proof. We assume that $x\ne 0$. Set $\lambda_n=\max\{{\lVert x_n\rVert,\lVert x \rVert}\...
H: On a real square matrix of order $10$ Let $M_{10}$ be the set of $10×10$ real matrices; if $U\in M_{10}$, then let $\rho(U)=rank(U)$. Which of the followings are true for every $A\in M_{10}$? $(1)\rho(A^8)=\rho(A^9)$ $(2)\rho(A^9)=\rho(A^{10})$ $(3)\rho(A^{10})=\rho(A^{11})$ $(4)\rho(A^8)=\rho(A^7)$ I am able to di...
H: What if $\epsilon$ is infinity in the $\epsilon$-$\delta$ definition of limits? The epsilon delta definition of limits says that if the limit as $x\to a$ of $f(x)$ is L, then for any $\delta>0$, there is an $\epsilon>0$ such that if $0<|x-a|<\delta$, then $|f(x)-L|<\epsilon$. But the problem is that this definition...

This is a NBHM Phd 2019 question. f is a continuous real valued function of period $2 \pi$ then which of the cases are true. Case 1: $\exists $ $t_0 \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(t_0) = f(t_0 + \frac{\...
H: why the basis generates the ideal as an R-module? This is from Page 82 of Rotman's homological algebra book. Definition: Let k be a commutative ring. Then a ring R is a k-algebra if R is a k-module satisfying: a(rs) = (ar)s = r(as) for all a in k and r,s in R. If k is a field and R is a finite-dim k-algebra, then e...
H: Verification of a logarithmic inequality Verify the inequality $ \frac{(\log (x) + \log (y))}{2} \le \log\frac{(x+y)}{2}$, where $x,y>0$ I'm still struggling how to solve the inequality, I have tried AM-GM and Bernoulli, without any success.My suggestion is that the solution is very elementare, but I can't see it. ...
