H: Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to(0,\infty)$ be a differentiable function. For all $x\in\mathbb{R}$ $f'(x)=f(f(x)).$ Then show that such function does not exists What i have done is very small. $$f'(x)=f(f(x))\implies f(f'(x))=f(f(f(x)))$$Now $$f(f(f(x)))=f'(f(x))$$Hence$$f(f'(x))=f'(f(x))$$Now i am blank. What to do for the pr...
H: Show $\sigma(x) \in \{0,1\}$ if $x \in \{0,1\}$ Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and $x \in A$ an element with $x^* = x=x^2 = x^3$. I want to show that $\sigma_A(x) \subseteq \{0,1\}$. Attempt: We know that $\sigma_A(x)^2=\sigma_A(x^2) = \sigma_A(x^3) = \sigma_A(x)^3$ so I guess the statement somehow follows from ...
H: Impossible to pack Circles without gaps It is intuitively apparent that circles cannot be packed without any gaps. I thought this is easy to prove, but it turns out not to me. I have $2$ versions for this question, which likely to have opposite answers. $1:$ Is it possible to pack finitely many circles(of radius la...
H: Are there doubly (left- and right-) perfect sets with Lebesgue measure zero? This question seems natural enough that the answer should be known, but I was unable to find a reference. Call a subset $C$ of $\Bbb R$ left- (respectively, right-) perfect if it is perfect and if every point in $C$ is a limit point from t...
H: Using exclusion and inclusion method to calculate number of functions Let $A =\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$. I want to find the number of functions $f : A \rightarrow A$ such that $|f^{-1}(i)|=i$ for every $i\in \{1,2,3\}$. anyone has an idea, I tried a lot but didn't get to the answer. Thank you AI: You want $f$ to map one val...
H: Infinite sum $\sum ^{\infty }_{n=1}\frac {n( n+1)^{2}}{(n-1)!}x^{n}$ I want to calculate the following. $$\sum ^{\infty }_{n=1}\frac {n( n+1)^{2}}{(n-1)!}x^{n}=?$$ I knew. $$\sum ^{\infty }_{n=1}\frac {x^{n}}{(n-1)!}=e^{x}x$$ By the way, answer is WolframAlpha! Please tell me how to solve. AI: Hint: Write $$n(n+1)^...
H: Can someone explain this small probability contradiction? The question is: A service organization in a large town organizes a raffle. One thousand raffle tickets are sold for $\$1$ each. Each has an equal chance of winning. First prize is $\$300$, second prize is $\$200$, and third prize is $\$100$. What is that ch...
H: Find the points closest to two lines using least squares method Given are two lines $g(t)=a+bt$ and $h(s)=c+ds$ with $a,b,c,d \in \mathbb R^3$. I need to find the points where the two lines are closest using the least squares method. However I am unable to find a solution for this problem. Intuitively those points ...
H: Weak law of large numbers for epsilon sequence that tends to 0 Assume a $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ fulfills a weak law of large numbers, i.e. for every $\epsilon>0$, $$P\left(|\tfrac{1}{n}S_n - \mu| > \epsilon\right) \rightarrow 0$$ Does there exist a sequence $(\epsilon_n)_n$ with $\epsilon_n \rightarrow 0$ such that ...
H: How to evaluate $\int \frac{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}-\sqrt{1-x}} dx$? I am trying to evaluate $$\int \frac{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}-\sqrt{1-x}} dx \quad (1)$$ The typical way to confront this kind of integrals are the conjugates i.e: $$\int \frac{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt{1+x}-\sqrt{1-x}} dx ...
H: How prove $\int_{S^{n-1}}f(x\cdot \omega)\,d\omega=\int_{S^{n-1}}f(-x\cdot \omega)\,d\omega$ Let $f:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be a continuous function. I Believe that $$\int_{S^{n-1}}f(x\cdot \omega)\,d\omega=\int_{S^{n-1}}f(-x\cdot \omega)\,d\omega.\qquad \qquad (1)$$ The reason is $-\omega$ is the uni...
H: A question about cardinality Let $A$ be a subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$. Assume $|\mathbb{R}\setminus A|=\aleph_0$. Is it true that for every $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$, $a<b$ $(a,b] \cap A \neq \varnothing$ ? I think it's true, but I'm not really sure. Can anyone shed light on this? AI: Since, $|\mathbb{R}\setminus A|=\aleph_0...
H: denominator with standard part 0 (i) Why do we have to simplify the numerator and denominator, and not just substitute the standard part st(c) right away since it is given as 4. (ii) Also what does this mean (more specifically, what is the idea behind the bold part): However, since c $\neq$ 4 the fraction is defi...
H: How to get the point at which a line passes through another line perpendicular to it I have two line segments that are perpendicular to each other and intersect. I want to know the point of intersection, given one endpoint of one segment and both endpoints of the other. I also know that the other endpoint of the fi...
H: what is the negation of $\exists^{=1}x\phi(x)$? I need to understand the negation of counting quantifiers, so in my understanding negation of $\exists^{=n}x \phi(x)$ should be $\exists^{<n}x \neg \phi(x) \lor \exists^{>n}x \neg \phi(x) $. Hence, the negation for $\exists^{=1}x\phi(x)$ is given as follows ? $$\exist...
H: if $f(\frac{x+y}{2}) =\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}$ then find $|f(2)|$ if the following functional equation $$f\bigg(\frac{x+y}{2}\bigg) =\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2} \quad \text{ holds for all real }~ x ~\text{ and }~ y$$ If$f'(0)$ exists and equals to $-1$ then find $|f(2)|$. My work I tried to find $f'(x)$ so that i can intreg...
H: Proof that $f\big(f(x)\big)$ exists, where $f(x)=\frac{4x+3}{6x-4}$ $$f(x)=\frac{4x+3}{6x-4}$$ $\operatorname {Dom}f= \Bbb{R}\setminus\left\{\frac23\right\}$ $\operatorname {Ran}f=\Bbb R$ Since $\operatorname {Ran} f$ is not a subset of $\operatorname {Dom} f$, therefore, $f\circ f$ does not exist. Where have I go...
H: Eigenvalues of a matrix containing an unknown matrix How to find eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix $$B = \begin{bmatrix} 2\mathrm{I_{m}} & A^\intercal \\\\ A & 0 \end{bmatrix}$$ without knowing anything about $A$ besides that $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$ ? Finding the determinant of $$B - \lambda \mathrm{I} = \b...
H: Does Lindeberg's condition imply $s_n \to \infty$? Lindeberg's theorem states that if we have a sequence of independent random variables $X_j: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ with zero mean, variance $\sigma_i^2$, and distribution $\alpha_i$, and we define $s_n^2 = \sigma_1^2 + \dots + \sigma_n^2$, then the distribution of...
H: Let $f$ be measurable then prove a certain set is measurable. Question: Suppose $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is measurable. Prove $\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R^2}:f(x)\geq f(y)\}$ is measurable. My thoughts: I was hoping that there would be a way to "pull back" into an open set, since open sets in $\mathbb{R}$ are m...
