H: Why the digit Sum of a non negative number(n) is always the remainder after division by 9 , until n becomes only one digit? lets assume for $689$ : , $$689 = (6+ 8 + 9 ) = 23$$ $$23 = (2 + 3) = 5$$ We can get this way: $$689 \!\!\mod \;9 = 5$$ I found a approach like this: $$10 = (9 * 1) + 1 $$ $$100 = (9 * 11) ...
H: Convergent Sequences in Extremally Disconnected Hausdorff Spaces It's written in Willard (15G.3) that the only convergent sequences in a Hausdorff Extremally Disconnected space are the eventually constant sequences. However, it has not provided a proof. I've tried to derive this myself, but am unable to do so. Ther...
H: Integral definition of curl My book, Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering - K. F. Riley, explains that the 'Integral definition of curl' is:- $$\nabla\times a = \lim_{V\to0}(\frac{1}{V}\int_S dS\times a) $$ and then, after a few pages, it mentions:- $$\int_S dS \times \nabla\phi = \int_C\phi dr$$ Now, i...
H: Is it true that $\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} 2^i$ divides $\sum_{i=n}^{2n-1} 2^i$? Some investigation suggested to me that $$\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} 2^i \Bigg| \sum_{i=n}^{2n-1} 2^i$$ The point being that binary numbers in the form exclusively of an even number of $1$s appear to be divisible by the number represented by just half th...

H: Why does the irreflexivity of $L^1$ follow from $(L^1)'' \subsetneq L^1$? My question is about the proof that $l^1$ is irreflexive. I have seen multiple proofs ($L^1$ and $L^{\infty}$ are not reflexive, Dual of $l^\infty$ is not $l^1$ and more), and all proofs stop after showing that there exists $f \in (l^\infty)'...

H: Alternate methods to prove $(1+a)(1+b)(1+c)(1+d) \geq 16$ if $abcd =1$. I found this question some time ago in an Elementary Olympiad book: If $a, b, c, d$ are positive integers such that $abcd =1$, then prove that $(1+a)(1+b)(1+c)(1+d) \geq 16$. Evidently this was a direct consequence of Hölder's inequality, so ...

H: When are the zeros of $x^T A x$ equal to kernel of $A$? I am wondering when the set of solutions to $x^T Ax = 0$ is equal to the kernel of the matrix $A$. Is there a general answer to this? It seems to be true in the positive-definite case: If $x^TAx = 0$ then $x$ must be $0$ (otherwise $x^TAx > 0$), so $Ax = 0$. O...

H: Why use limit laws to verify continuity instead of direct substitution? My textbook (Calculus Early Transcendentals, 8th edition, by James Stewart ) asks to verify a function is continuous at a point using the definition of continuity and the limit laws. However, why would the text explicitly state to use the limit...
H: How to quantify which expression for a given mathematical quantity converges the fastest? Which converges faster to $e$: $\lim_{ n \to \infty} \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{1}{k!}$ or $\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{n}\right)^n$? To check this, I thought of taking ratio of the two and taking limit as n goes to inf...

H: How do you show that $\mathbb{Z}^2$ is a closed set in $\mathbb{R}^2$? In $(\mathbb{R}, \tau_{st})$, we can write $\mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Z} = \bigcup_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} (n,n+1)$, and hence $\mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Z}$ is an open set. Thus the complement, $\mathbb{Z}$, is closed. In $(\mathbb{R}^2, \tau...

H: Why is $\sum_{i=0}^{t-1}r^i \leq r^t$? On page 348 of this article by Siegelmann and Sontag, there's a claim that depends on the following inequality: $$\sum_{i=0}^{t-1}r^i \leq r^t$$ (The claim appears after a line consisting only of "Therefore,". I'm using $r$ for $LW$ in the text. The same claim can also be fo...
H: In a Hopf algebra $H$, unit $\circ$ counit = Identity? Let $(H,\mu,\nu,\Delta,\epsilon,S)$ be a Hopf algebra where the convolution is denoted by $*$.

Let $q = \frac{3p-5}{2}$ where $p$ is an odd prime, and let $S_q = \frac{1}{2\cdot 3 \cdot 4} + \frac{1}{5\cdot 6 \cdot 7} + \cdots + \frac{1}{q(q+1)(q+2)} $ Prove that if $\frac{1}{p}-2S_q = \f...
H: $K$-topology of the real line and quotient topology. Let $K$ be the set $\{1,1/2,1/3,\cdots,1/n,\cdots\}$, which is the set of reciprocal of all positive integers. The $K$-topology on $\mathbb R$ is defined as generated by the usual open intervals $(a,b)$ and also $(a,b)-K$. For the text below allow me to write $\m...

H: Arnold on Homogeneous Linear Equations In this section, Arnold formulates the equation that we know as the homogeneous linear equation. My question is why the term $\partial a/\partial X$ vanishes when linearisation is done? Completing the steps for linearisation around the point $(p, 0)$, we get $$ \begin{align} ...
H: Isomorphism in UFD Is this statement true: Let $R$ be a UFD and $p,q\in R$ are irreducible which are not associated. Prove that for all $n,m\in\mathbb N$: $$R/(p^mq^n)\cong R/(p^m)\times R/(q^n).$$ I don't think that the chinese remainder theorem works here, however, it is easy to construct a map $f$ from $R$ to ...
H: Finding the positive integers that can be written in the form $x^2+xy+5y^2$ I'm working on a homework problem that asks which positive integers can be written in the form $x^2+xy+5y^2$. An example was given on how to find all positive integers that can be written as the difference of two squares (i.e. $x^2-y^2$), b...
H: Probability that a King of hearts will be chosen, given there is a king I am currently stuck on this question and how it would be worked out. I currently have the probaility that at least one king will be 0.341 And that the probability of drawing a King of hearts is 51 c 1 / 52 c 5 [editted! I typed it wrong 51 c ...
H: The solutions of a linear differential equation! I can't see how if a differential equation is linear then if it attains a complex solution, then the complex conjugate of the solution is a solution also? Thanks is advance. Modification: the linear differential equation has to be real too (from the comments). AI: As...
H: Book recommendations for Euclidean/Non-Euclidean Geometry Request for Book Recommendations: Background introduction Disclaimers: If the tone below is a little arrogant I apologize beforehand, but I'm being very specific here because I want to make sure that I will be learning and accessing the right material, and ...
H: If $(x^2 - x - 1)^n = a_{2n}x^{2n} + a_{2n - 1}x^{2n - 1} + \cdots + a_2x^2 + a_1x + a_0$, then find the value of $a_0 + a_2 + a_4 + \cdots + a_{2n}$ So here is the Problem :- If $(x^2 - x - 1)^n = a_{2n}x^{2n} + a_{2n - 1}x^{2n - 1} + \cdots + a_2x^2 + a_1x + a_0$, then find the value of $a_0 + a_2 + a_4 + \cdots...
H: What is the value of $\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(e^{it}) \cos t \, dt$ if $f$ is analytic? If $f(z)$ is an analytic function, then find the value of the integration $$\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(e^{it}) \cos t \, dt.$$ My Work: Taking $e^{it} = z$ the integrand becomes of the form $$i\frac{f(z)\operatorname{Re(z)}}{z}$$ on the simple...
H: Continuity of a function $f: X\to \mathbb Z$ If you have a set $X$ which is equipped with a topology: what is required for the function $f: X\to \mathbb Z$ to be continuous? The fact that $X$ has a topology should certainly be helpful. But $\mathbb Z$ is a discrete space, so I am not totally sure how to establish c...
H: When is a closed ball inside another closed ball? I was solving a question and I came upon a statement which I can't really prove. I know that this is indeed true when our metric space is $\mathbb{R}^2$ with the euclidean metric. Let $(X,d),$ be a metric space. Take $\overline{B}_r(x)$ be the closed ball around a ...
H: Does there exist a closed set that is not semi-open? A subset $A$ of a topological space $(X,T)$ is said to be semi-open if there exist an open set $B \in ( X,T)$ such that $B \subseteq A \subseteq \overline B$. Now my question is that Give an example of a closed set that is not necessarily a semi-open set. My at...

H: counterexample completeness of metric spaces I'm looking for a counterexample. I already proved that if $(X,d_X)$ and $(Y,d_Y)$ are metric spaces and $X$ is complete and $f:X\to Y$ is a bijection that $Y$ is complete if $f^{-1}$ is uniform continuous. I know that if $f^{-1}$ isn't uniform continuous $Y$ isn't comp...
