H: Evaluating the indefinite Harmonic number integral $\int \frac{1-t^n}{1-t} dt$ It is well-known that we can represent a Harmonic number as the following integral: $$H_n = \int_0^1 \frac{1-t^n}{1-t} dt$$ The derivation of this integral doesn't need you to derive the indefinite integral first, so now I'm wondering w...
H: How this kind of permutation is called in math? Assume we have a set $\{a_0,a_1,a_2,...,a_{n-1}\}$. Our permutation maps each element $a_i$ to $a_{ki\bmod n}$, where n and k are relatively prime.

H: The existence of group isomorphism between Euclidean space. Is there any group isomorphism for addition $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$ where $n\neq m$? I could prove that there exists any vector space isomorphism or smooth map, but I still could not know that if we consider only abelian group structure for the ad...
H: Change (or increment) raised to some power After some shallow research, I've found no results of anyone asking the same question as me. Please feel free to refer me to wherever this has been discussed previously. When expressing a change with the letter delta: $\Delta x$ for example and raise it, let's say, to the ...
H: Sum of standard deviations Suppose I have two series: $$A = \{a_1,...,a_n\}$$ $$B = \{b_1,...,b_n\}$$ And I define the series C as: $$C = \{a_1,...,a_n,b_1,...,b_n\}$$ I am wondering if the standard deviation of $C$, $\sigma_C$, could be greater than the sum of the standard deviations of $A$ and $B$, that is, if it...
H: Given three IID random variables $X_1$, $X_2$, and $X_3$, what is the probability that $X_1X_3$? Does the answer to this question depend on the distribution of the IID random variables? If so, what are the answers if we assume their distributions are $\bf{N}(\mu, \sigma^2)$ or $\textbf{Unif}(a, b)$? AI: By symmetry...

H: Are there examples of continuous, non-differentiable functions whose "rational derivative" exists? Define the operator $\Delta_n$ according to the equation $$\Delta_nf(x)=f\left(x+\frac1n\right)-f(x)$$ Observe that for differentiable $f:\Bbb{R}\to\Bbb{R}$ $$\frac{df}{dx}=\lim_{n\to\infty}n\Delta_nf$$ (Note: The lim...
H: How do I find $f(1)$ and $f'(1)$ if $2x+3y=5$ is the tangent of $f(x)$ at $x=1$? Find $f(1)$ and $f'(1)$ if $2x+3y=5$ is the tangent of $f(x)$ at $x=1$. Is this correct: $$2x+3y=5$$ $$3y=5-2x$$ $$y=5/3-(2/3)x$$ From here I get that $f'(1) = -2/3$. Here I am not sure how to continue for $f(1)$? If I just replace i...
H: What is the meaning of this symbol $\ll_d$? I apologize for the simple question but I'm reading a paper "On the Convex Hull Of The Integer Points In A Disc" and I'm confused by some notation. They say $$\# \textrm{ vertices of }P \ll_{\;d} (vol P)^{\frac{d-1}{d+1}}$$ And I'm unfamiliar with the meaning of $\ll_{\;d...
