H: If entropy says the number of bits an information needs, why in this case it's less than one? If,$3/4$ of the times, is raining in a city and $1/4$ is not, the entropy $(-\log(3/4))$ would say we need almost $0.415$ of a bit to say it's raining, and $2$ bits $(-\log(1/4) )$ to say it is not, right?? How can we make...

It defines Isomorphism as follows: If $V$ and $W$ are vector spaces over a field $\mathbb{F}$, then any one-one $T$ $\in$ $\mathcal{L}(V, W)$ of $V$ onto $W$ is called an ...
H: What are some ways to prove that a k-partite graph is nonplanar? I am reading papers on graph theory and I encountered one work that talked about the planarity of a certain graph. In one of the proofs of a theorem, the author stated that the graph $K_{1,2,3}$ is nonplanar. Is this a known result? How can one check ...
H: Prove the inequality $u^{\alpha}v^{1-\alpha} \leq \alpha u + (1-\alpha)v $ I'm trying to prove the inequality highlighted by the red line in the picture, but I do not know how. Please provide detail as much as you can, thank you! For a minimal family, the sufficient statistic $\mathbf{T}$ is also minimal sufficien...
H: Independence between fractional parts of consecutive sums of independent uniforms Let $X_1,X_2$ be independent $\text{Uniform}(0,1)$ random variables. Define $U_1 = X_1 - \lfloor X_1 \rfloor$ and $U_2 = X_1 + X_2 - \lfloor X_1 + X_2 \rfloor$ where $\lfloor a \rfloor$ is the largest integer less or equal to $a \in \...
H: Evaluating $\int _0^1\frac{\ln \left(x^3+1\right)}{x+1}\:dx$ What methods would work best to find $\displaystyle \int _0^1\frac{\ln \left(x^3+1\right)}{x+1}\:dx$ As usual with this kind of integral i tried to differentiate with the respect of a parameter $$\int _0^1\frac{\ln \left(ax^3+1\right)}{x+1}\:dx$$ $$\int _...
H: How to express a Python loop and a condition mathematically? I have the following Python code that I want to express mathematically. W = 0 for i in range(5): if (A > i_1) and ( (A < i_2) or (A < i_3) ): W = W + 1 This is a generic problem that I am trying to achieve; looping over some values and checki...
H: Doubts on a game that two players take turns to take an element and xor it to their sums. This is originally a question from https://codeforces.com/contest/1383/problem/B, but this is more of a math problem than an algorithmic one, so I decided to post here. There is a game where two players take turns to take an ...
H: If $X$ is a Banach space any capable conditions to make sure that $X$ is also Hilbert? Let $X$ be a Banach space and suppose that $X$ is isometric with a Hilbert space.Is it true to say that $X$ is also a Hilbert space?If I assume that $X$ is isomorphic with a Hilbert space is it still true? AI: YES for the first q...
H: Given $k, a \in \mathbb{R}$, find a polynomial $P$ such that $P(k) = a$ You are given two real numbers $k,a \in \mathbb{R}$, and you are promised that there is a polynomial with integer coefficients $P \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ such that evaluating it on $k$ yields $a$, i.e. Promise: $\ \exists P \in \mathbb{Z}[X] \ \ \ ...
H: Solving method for fractions having Prime numbers as Denominator. I have a question , like $30 = 1.18x$ , and $30 = 0.82 y$ , find $x+y$. when solving, $x=1500/59$, $y=1500/41$. Since the denominator is involving prime numbers I was wondering is there any method or some logic is there to solve this question under...
H: (Verification) If $g \circ f$ is injective, then $f$ must also be injective. Prove that if $g \circ f$ is injective, then $f$ must also be injective. $g(f(x))$ is injective. Then, $x\neq x’ \implies (g\circ f)(x) \neq (g\circ f)(x’)$. Suppose for the sake of contradiction: $f(x)=f(x’) \nRightarrow x=x’$ Then t...
H: Why is my integrand wrong? I am given the following integral. $$\iiint\limits_E \sqrt{x^2+z^2} \ dV$$ bound by the paraboloid $y=x^2+z^2$ and the plane $y=9$. Half way through the problem, it says the given integral can be simplified to $$\int_{-3}^3\int_{-\sqrt{9-x^2}}^{\sqrt{9-x^2}} {\left(9-x^2-z^2\right)\sqrt{x...
H: When is a Lie group action is a local diffeomorphism? My whole question is actually in the title. Suppose a Lie group $G$ acting smoothly on a smooth manifold $M.$ I am looking for the conditions on the group action or the Lie group $G$ that makes $M$ and $g(M)$ are locally diffeomorphic for all $g\in G.$ Perhaps t...
H: Given the position vectors of the vertices of a triangle, prove that another point is the orthocentre of the triangle. The original problem is: If a, b, c, d are the position vectors of points A, B, C, D respectively such that $$(\vec{a}-\vec{d}). (\vec{b}-\vec{c})= (\vec{b}-\vec{d}). (\vec{c}-\vec{a})= 0$$then pro...
H: The region of convergence of the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n n (x-1)^n}{(n^3+1)(3^n+1)}$. I am trying to find the region of convergence of the series $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n n (x-1)^n}{(n^3+1)(3^n+1)}. $$ I know that, by the limit comparison test, $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n (x-1)^n}{(n^...
H: Find the limit: $\lim_{x\to 3^-} \dfrac{(e^{(x+3)\ln 27})^{\frac{x}{27}} -9}{3^x-27}$ The expression simplifies to $$\lim_{x\to 3^-}\dfrac{(27^{x+3})^{x/27} -9}{3^x-27}=\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{27^{(6-h)(3-h)/27} -9}{3^{3-h}-27}.$$ I simplified the denominator as follows: $\;27(3^{-h}-1)=-27h \ln 3$. How should I simpli...

Now one can show that $\liminf_\limits{x\rightarrow0^+}g(x)=\limsup_\limits{x\rightarrow0^+}g(x)$, so we write $\lim_\limit...

H: $H$ and $K$ are normal subgroups of a group $G$ with $K \le H$, then $aK =H \iff a \in H$ Let $H$ and $K$ are normal subgroups of a group $G$ with $K \le H$. How can I prove that $aK =H \iff a \in H$? I‘m stuck with the part when $a \in H$ then $aK$ contains $H$. Given $u$ in $H$, how can I show that $u \in aK$ ?...
