H: A comparision between two subadditivity I have a simple question about the subadditivity of inf, it's easy to show that $\inf_x (f+g)(x) \ge \inf_x f(x) + \inf_y g(y)$.

H: Continuing previous discussion? Regarding the following question's answer : Seeking a combinatorial proof of $2n^{n-3} = \sum_{m=1}^{n-1}\binom{n-2}{m-1}m^{m-2}(n-m)^{n-m-2}$ I have some additional questions: 1. why m can't be 0 or n? 2. Plus what (n-2 / m-1) refers to? why are we choosing m-1 from n-2? AI: Conside...
H: Find the recurrence relation for the probability that the number of successes is divisible by $3$ (Feller Vol.1, P.285, Q.21) Let $u_n$ be the probability that the number of successes in $n$ Bernoulli trials is divisible by $3$. Find a recursive relation for $u_n$. Answer: $u_n = q^n + \sum_{k=3}^n {k-1 \choose 2}...
H: Some question about proving $\displaystyle\limsup_{n\to\infty}|\cos{n}|=1$ by using density of $\{a+b\pi|a,b\in\mathbb{Z}\}$ I have seen Proving $\displaystyle\limsup_{n\to\infty}\cos{n}=1$ using $\{a+b\pi|a,b\in\mathbb{Z}\}$ is dense and got this question. Hagen von Eitzen gave the solution as following: Pick an i...
H: Intersecting families Suppose A, B, C are 3 subsets of the set {1,...,n} Where each pair has nonempty intersect. Is there any intersecting family F from {1,...,n} subsets where F cardinality is equal to 2^(n-1) and F contains A, B and C? AI: HINT: If $A\cap B\cap C\ne\varnothing$, it’s pretty easy to find such an $...
H: Computing Binomial Distribution Expectation How do I compute $E(2^{X}3^{(1-X)})$ given $X \sim Bin(1,p)$. Note that $X = 1$ with probability $p$ and $0$ otherwise. AI: You mean that $X$ is an indicator random variable with probability of success equal $p$? In that case, if $X=1$ the expectation equals 2 and if $X=0...
H: Is the nullspace of a matrix's transpose equal to the nullspace of its RREF's transpose? Consider a matrix $ A $ and its RREF $ B $. Are $ Null(A^\intercal) $ and $ Null(B^\intercal) $ equal? How should I go about this problem? AI: No. Conceptually, the row reduced echelon form of a matrix $A$ must be in the form o...
H: Probability of a Uniform Random Variable Let $X_1, X_2, X_3$ be iid Uniform (0,1) random variables. How do I find the probability that $X_{\min} = \min[X_1,X_2,X_3]$, is between 0 and 1/2? AI: For the min not to be $\le 1/2)$, all have to be $\gt 1/2$. $P(X_{min}\le 1/2)=1-P(X_{min}\gt 1/2)=1-\prod_{k=1}^3 P(X_k\gt...
H: Is it possible to make curvature of sine wave equal to that of a parabola? Suppose there is a symmetric parabola pointing downwards now we only consider the part above the x axis so is it possible to make curvature of sine wave equal to that part above x axis So that it coincides with that part of parabola above x ...
H: Another proof of $\displaystyle\limsup_{n\to\infty}|\cos{n}|=1$ I have seen a proof of $\displaystyle\limsup_{n\to\infty}|\cos{n}|=1$ by using density of $\{a+b\alpha: a,b\in \mathbb{Z}\}$ in $R$, where $\alpha$ is irrational. Here I give another proof of as following: See this article, a special case is that the...
H: How to prove statement regarding directional derivatives and gradients The question asked me to prove that $$\|\nabla f\|^2 = (D_{u}f)^2 + (D_{v}f)^2$$ whenever vectors $u$ and $v$ are perpendicular. How can I prove this? AI: Hint: $$\Vert \nabla f \Vert^2=(\nabla f\boldsymbol{\cdot}\underline{u})^2+(\nabla f \bold...
H: Property of closure relation. I am reading $\textit{On the Foundations of Combinatorial Theory II. Combinatorial Geometries}$. They give a definition. A closure relation on a set $S$ is a function $A\mapsto \bar{A}$ defined for all subsets > $A\subseteq S$, satisfying $$ \overline{A}\subseteq S,\quad A\subsete...
H: Continuous Distribution and Probability density function Question Suppose that $X_1, X_2, X_3$ denote a random sample of size three from a continuous distribution with probability density function (pdf) $f_X(x) = \frac{1}{\theta}e^{\frac{−x}{\theta}}, x>\theta.$ Consider the following three estimators for $\theta:\...
H: Nested Interval Property and uniqueness Is the common element contained within $\bigcap\limits_{i = 1}^{\infty} I_j$ where $I_j$ is a closed interval unique? AI: Hint: Consider $I_j = [-1/j, \ 1\!+ \!1/j]$ With this in mind, what must be true of nested closed intervals $I_j$ if they are such that $\displaystyle \bi...
H: Showing $\sum_{k=0}^{n+1} \binom n k \frac{(-1)^k}{(n+k)(n+k+1)} = \sum_{k=0}^{n+1} \binom {n+1} k \frac{ (-1)^k}{n+k}$ The background context is this old MSE question here. Essentially I was trying to write up a proper response for the question, but I'm stuck on one part myself. One goal for the question is to pro...
H: Definition of a rational number. In high school, in definition of rational number we used to say, "A number, which can be written in the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p,q(\neq0)\in\Bbb{Z}$ is called rational number." But now I am realising that this is not a definition but it is a characterisation of rational numbers....
H: Why is $f(x+h) = 3x+3h-1$ when $f(x)=3x-1$? $f(x+h) = 3x+3h-1$ when $f(x)=3x-1$ Is there some kind of factoring that gets you $3x+3h-1$? It looks the 3h comes out of nowhere. AI: $$ f(x) = 3x - 1 \implies f(x+h) = 3(x+h) - 1 = 3x + 3h - 1 $$
H: Find all $(x,y)$ pairs : $x,y$ $\in \mathbb{Z}$ such that :- $x^4 - 4x^3 - 19x^2 + 46x = y^2 - 120.$ So here is the Question :- Find all $(x,y)$ pairs : $x,y$ $\in \mathbb{Z}$ such that :- $$x^4 - 4x^3 - 19x^2 + 46x = y^2 - 120.$$ What I tried :- I factored the LHS and got as :- $$x(x - 2)(x^2 - 2x - 23) = y^2 - 12...
H: Proof Hints: Teichmüller-Tukey Lemma Synopsis Why this is NOT a duplicate (as far as I'm aware). After having read the other posts on StackExchange about this lemma, many of them rely on concepts like well-ordering and other things I haven't learned yet. All I have learned so far is the axiom of choice and basic ca...
H: Expected value for random variables based on Poisson distribution I have to calculate the limit of the sequence $E((\frac{X_n-n}{\sqrt{n}})^+)$, where $X_n$ is Poi(n) and $\xi^+$ means "Maximum of $\xi$ and $0$". I get $e^2/\sqrt{2\pi}$ and I am not sure that this is correct. My calculation is straightforward, usin...

Prove that $\,S(n)\leq n^{2}-14\,$ for each $\,n\geq 4$. Now solution says for part a) Represe...
H: Name of Math Symbol $"\mapsto"$ in the expression $\mathbf{x} \mapsto A \mathbf{x}$ I do not know the name of the math symbol with the arrow bracket pointing to the right. Any help identifying it or resource to find it would be helpful. I already checked the LA symbols on Wikipedia and no look. Thanks! AI: The sym...

This is the q(xi) distribution of information theory (1/2) is bit information and $l_{i}$ is the length of the number of bit then the cross enthropy derived to I'm lack of experiecne to handling the log so can you show me how $-E_{p}[ln(q...
H: $A$ could've done a job in 6 hours longer, $B$ in 15 hours longer and $C$ in twice the time needed if they work together. How long together? I am trying to solve this question: A, B and C do a piece of work together. A could've done it in 6 hours longer, B in 15 hours longer and C in twice the time. How long did it...
