H: Show if $\int_U g$ exists, so does $\int_U f$ (extended integral question) Let $U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be open(not necessarily bounded), let $f,g: U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be continuous, and suppose that $|f(x)| \leq g(x)$ for all $ x \in U$. Show if $\int_U g$ exists, so does $\int_U f$ Definition: Let $f:S ...
H: Idempotent linear operators are projections I'm working on this problem: Suppose $V$ is a Hilbert space and $P : V \to V$ is a linear map such that $P^2= P$ and $\Vert Pf \Vert \leq \Vert f \Vert$ for every $f \in V$. Prove that there exists a closed subspace $U$ of $V$ such that $P = P_U$. I did do some searching ...
H: A multiplication problem: $OUI \times OUI = OOUUI + OOUUI$ Here's a $6$th-grade exam problem: $$OUI \times OUI = OOUUI + OOUUI$$ $O, U$ and $I$ are digits. e.g $365 \times 365 = 33665 + 33665$ (not the case) Thus, because the digits are into account I believe there's no algebraic equation. Also, $6$th graders don'...
H: First Variation of $L_2$ with Linear operator Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be open and bounded, $P:C^1(\Omega) \to L_2(\mathbb{R})$ be a linear and bounded operator. I want to calculate the first variation of $\|Pu - f\|^2_{L_2}$, $u \in C^1(\Omega), f \in L_2(\Omega)$. ${d \over dt}\|P(u+tv) - f\|^2_{L_2} = {...
H: Prove $D \in \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{P}(\mathbf{R}),\mathcal{P}(\mathbf{R})) : \text{deg}(D(p)) = \text{deg}(p) - 1$ is surjective Suppose $D \in \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{P}(\mathbf{R}),\mathcal{P}(\mathbf{R}))$ is such that $\deg(D(p)) = \deg(p) - 1$ for every nonconstant polynomial $p \in \mathcal{P}(\mathbf{R})$. Prov...
H: Advantages of Each Coordinate System I am currently learning about the spherical coordinate system in class, but I do not know its advantages or even if it is advantageous in using this coordinate system over another. I am very comfortable in using the rectangular coordinate system and the cylindrical coordinate sy...
H: Is $\oint_{\left | z \right |=2} \frac{e^{\frac{1}{z}}}{z(z^{2}+1))}dz$ equal to zero? I based my analysis on the fact that the only residue that's outside the curve is the reside in $\infty$ that's equal to zero, so all the other resides inside the curves must add to zero too. Am I correct? AI: The substitution $w...
H: Correct way to integrate $\int x(x^2-16)dx$ Evaluate: $$\int x(x^2-16)dx$$ I have noticed that this integral can be solved using two different methods, but I am not sure which one is the correct one. Way 1: Using $u$-subtitution Let $u=x^2-16, du = 2xdx$ Then, we have $$\int x(x^2-16)dx$$ $$= \frac{1}{2}\int udu$...
H: Finding $dy/dx$ from $ y^2 = \sin^4{2x} + \cos^4{2x} $ using implicit differentiation Problem: Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ by implicit differentation for the following: $$ y^2 = \sin^4{2x} + \cos^4{2x} $$ Answer: \begin{align*} 2y \frac{dy}{dx} &= 4(2) \sin^3(2x) \cos(2x) - 4(2) \cos^3(2x) \sin(2x) \tag1\\ y \frac{dy}{d...
H: Proving that a certain definition of neighborhoods forms a neighborhood topology This is Exercise 2 from Section 2.1 on page 21 of Topology and Groupoids, by Brown. Exercise: Let $\leq$ be an order relation on the set $X$. Let $x \in X$ and $N \subseteq X$. We say that $N$ is a neighborhood of $x$ if there is an o...
H: What are the unit elements in $\Bbb{Z}[i]$? What are the unit elements in $\Bbb{Z}[i]$, where $\Bbb{Z}[i]$ is defined to be the set of Gaussian integers ? My progress: My mentor gave this problem and he said to use determinants and scalefactor. Then I was able to proceed and got the unit elements in $\Bbb{Z}[i]=1,-...
H: Uncountable sets - Why is the following proof false? Let $S$ be any subset of the natural numbers. Then the sum $$ \sum_{n \in S} \frac{1}{2^n} $$ converges against a unique value for each subset $S$. This sum yields a computable number because it is possible to compute it digit by digit. Therefore, these sums map ...
H: $\pi(n)$ is always more than the sum of the prime indices of the factors of composite $n \geq 12$ Let $n=p_1^{a_1} p_2^{a_2} \cdots p_k^{a_k} \geq 12$ be any composite integer. Then it seems that this is true: $$\pi(n) > \sum_{i=1}^{k}{\pi(p_i)a_i}\ .$$ You get equality instead iff $n$ is prime. I also assume that ...
H: How to prove these four propostions about Borel-Cantelli Lemma in Shriyaev's book 'Probability'? The original problems are shown in picture linked below. Thank you. Problem $\mathbf{2.10.19}$. (On the second Borel-Cantelli lemma.) Prove the following variants of the second Borel-Cantelli lemma: given an arbitrary...
H: What is the correct choice of the contour in the case of undamped forced harmonic oscillator? I am interested in finding the Green's function (GF) for the undamped forced harmonic oscillator equation: $$\Big(\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+\omega_0^2\Big)x(t)=f(t).$$ In order to find the GF, start by define it: $$\Big(\frac{d^2}{...
H: confusion about uniform probability distribution expectation value I read in my statistics book about Discrete Uniform Probability Distribution and the Expected Value A discrete random variable $X$ with $k$ possible outcomes $x_1, x_2, ...,x_k$ is said to follow a discrete uniform distribution if the probability ma...
H: The intersection assumption in the definition of direct sums Let $W_1,W_2,\ldots,W_k$ be subspaces of a vector space $V$. We define the sum of these spaces to be the set $$\{v_1+v_2+\cdots+v_k:v_i\in W_i\text{ for }1\leq i\leq k\},$$ which we denote by $W_1+W_2+\cdots+W_k$ or simply by $\sum_{i=1}^k W_i.$ If, in ad...
H: Why does the negative of the direction of steepest ascent result in the direction of steepest descent? The gradient is a vector composed of partial derivatives and is a vector that gives the direction of the steepest ascent. In a YouTube video that I was watching, it talked about how the gradient descent of the fun...
H: Represent $f(x) - f(y)$ as an integral Description I've come across the following transition in a textbook of Convex Optimisation. I couldn't figure out what's going on so that I'd appreciate if anyone hits me with any hint! Problem Suppose $x, y \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and $f$ be a $\beta$-smooth convex function on $\ma...
H: Simplify the radical $\sqrt{x-\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x-...}}}$ I need help simplifying the radical $$y=\sqrt{x-\sqrt{x+\sqrt{x-...}}}$$ The above expression can be rewritten as $$y=\sqrt{x-\sqrt{x+y}}$$ Squaring on both sides, I get $$y^2=x-\sqrt{x+y}$$ Rearranging terms and squaring again yields $$x^2+y^4-2xy^2=x+y$$ At th...
H: When to use ds vs dy and dx for line integrals Are $\int_{C}^{} f(x,y) ds $ and $\int_{C}^{} F(x,y) = \int_{C}^{} P(x,y) dx + \int_{C}^{} Q(x,y) dy$ equivalent to each other for some curve C? If not, when are they not interchangeable? And if so, when is there an advantage to using one over another? Edit: it seems t...
H: Evaluate the given limit $\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{e^n}{(1+\frac 1n)^{n^2}}$ The procedure I am about to write is wrong, and I know why it is wrong yet it was the only one I could think of, so I will put it up anyway $$\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{e^n}{\left(1+\frac 1n\right)^{n^2}}$$ For the denominator $$\begin{align...
