Why the derivative of a vector field along a curve is not defined for a generic manifold?
This paragraph is at the end of Section 6.3 in the book *Testing Statistical Hypotheses* by Lehmann and Romano: >In most applications, $M(x)$ is a measurable function taking on values in a Euclidean space and it is convenient to take $\mathcal B$ as the class of Borel sets.

The questions asks: Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent random variables taking values in the positive integers and having the same mass function $f(x)=2^{-x}$ for $x=1,2,...$ find: $P(X>=kY)$ for a given positive integer k $P(X>=kY)$ $= \sum_{y=1}^\infty (X>=kY, Y=y)$ $= \sum_{y=1}^\infty (X>=kY)P(Y=y)$ due to...
Let $K$ be a field, and let $C$ be a projective curve over $K$. Consider a morphism $\varphi: \mathbb{P}^2 \to C$ over $Spec(K)$. Is it true that $\varphi$ must be constant? What I know so far: $\varphi$ is proper (since $\mathbb{P}^2$ is projective), hence closed, which means that the image is either a point of...
I was just introduced the concept that if $(f_n)$ converges in $L^2$ topology to $g(x)\in L^2([0,2\pi])$ then $\lim_{n\to\infty}\int^{2\pi}_0|f_n(x)-g(x)|^2dx=0$. I would appreciate any hint to how to start proving for example $sin(nx)$ diverges in $L^2$. I know that in the normal sense it doesn't even have a pointwise...
Does $sin(nx)$ converge in L^2?
Is there alternatives proofs that if $m^4 + 4^n$ is prime number then $m$ is odd and $n $ is even?
One property of the characteristic function $\phi(t)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{itx}\mu(dx)$ is that for measures $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ with respective $\phi_1(t)$ and $\phi_2(t)$, the convolved measure $\mu_1\ast\mu_2$ has $\phi_1(t)\phi_2(t)$. It suffices to observe that $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^...
Let T be a positive compact operator on a Hilbert space then we know that an operator equation $X^2 = T$ have a solution. Im confused since we have a result which says that a compact operator $T \geq 0$ have an unique operator $X$ which is compact, positive and $X^2 = T$. How there can be a compact operator $T\geq ...

Consider a set S of positive integers, and define $q(S) = \sum_{s \in S}{1/s^2}$. Letting $\rho = \pi^2/6$, we have $q(S)$ in the ranges $[0, \rho - 1), [1, \rho)$.

it is easy to show that the derivative of the trace $Tr(A)$ with respect to $A$ if A is a N x N matrix, is $\frac{\partial Tr(A)}{\partial A} = I_{N \times N}$ However, if I now assume A to be antisymmetric $a_{ij} = -a_{ji}$ the trace $Tr(A) = 0$ but with above result the derivative would still be $I_{N \time...
Let $U$ be the universe of a multiple choice questionnaire. We can say $|U| = 1$. We have $k \geq 3$ sets of answers in $U$ such that for all $k$, we have $ S= \sum_{u_i \in U} |u_i| > 1$. The answers are in percentages. We are interested in the quality of a certain set, say $u_c'$, such that we want to know the per...
Let $(V,\|-\|)$ be a normed function space, and suppose that $(f_i)_i$ is a sequence of elements of $V$ so that $\sum \|f_i\| < \infty$. Further suppose that this data implies that $f = \sum f_i$, where $\sum_{i=1}^n f_i \to f$ pointwise, is an element of $V$. Then I would think that we can show immediately that $\sum_...
If $\sum \|f_i\|$ converges and $\sum_{i=1}^\infty f_i$ exists in a normed function space, do we get for free that $\|\sum_{i=1}^n f_i - f\| \to 0$?
If $G$ is PSD, then there exists a matrix $B$ such that $G = BB^\top$. Then $$AGA^\top = (AB) (AB)^\top.$$ The latter is not necessarily faster (you would also have to compute $B$) but at least it is more compact. Depending on your purposes with the matrix $AGA^\top$ it might offer some improvements. For example, $$...

If any of the following exposition is unclear, please write a comment.

I have the following, possibly trivial question, regarding checking for the essential spectrum: Given a self-adjoint bounded operator $T\in \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})$, does $\dim \Big(\text{Im}\big(\chi_{[a-\epsilon,a+\epsilon]}(T) \big) \Big)=\infty$ imply that $\sigma_{ess}(T)\cap [a-\epsilon,a+\epsilon] \neq \empt...
If degree of one polynomial (say $f(x)$) is greater than degree of the other polynomial (say $g(x)$), then is it ever possible for the two polynomials to be equal for $x > 1$? I was struck with this question when trying to work on a conjecture involving powers.

I'm trying to find the following limit (without L'Hopital, not there yet): $$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x -\sin x}{x (1 - \cos x)}$$ Tanking into account that: $$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$$ and $$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1 - \cos x}{\frac{x^2}{2}} = 1$$ If I divide by x I get: ...

Consider a quantity, $a$, which could represent various measures such as the area under a curve. Initially, we estimate the value of $a$.

Given an infinite poset $P$, does it always contain a proper subposet $Q \subsetneq P$ such that $P$ and $Q$ are isomorphic as posets? What motivated this question is the following.

Suppose we have a graph on the vertex set $[n]^m$, i.e, each vertex is of the form $(v_1, ..., v_m)$, where each $v_i \in \{1, ..., n\}$. We draw an edge between two vertices $v = (v_1, ..., v_m)$ and $u = (u_1, ..., u_m)$ iff $u_i = v_i$ for some $i \in [m]$. My question is, how many edges are in our graph? My a...

A cube can fit in a sphere through its vertices in several ways. I mean, we know that every cube has 8 vertices. Now imagine a sphere with a fixed radius. Cubes can have arbitrary sides. One way is that There is no vertex on the sphere and the whole cube is inside the sphere. Another case is that the cube has only one...
I am a little lost about why subsequences necessarily converge to the same limit as their respective sequence.

Now consider the sequence wh...

AM-GM tells us that $x^2y^3 \le \frac{3}{16}$. It also has an equality case, when all of the terms in the AM-GM are equal—in your case, that would be when $\frac{3x}{2} = \frac{4y}{3}$. Combining this with the assumption $3x + 4y = 5$, this gives us only one pair where equality holds: $(x, y) = (\tfrac{2}{3},\tfrac{3}{...

I suspect that the answer is no, but I haven't been able to find a counterexample. If the answer (surprisingly) turns out to b...

The formula is correct; there are indeed $\frac12 n^m(n^m - (n-1)^m - 1)$ edges in this graph. The asymptotics are a bit trickier.

A path is considered good if it goes from any vertex to a leaf and all vertices on this path are of the same color. Let $X$ denote the number of good paths. For example, for a tree of height $n = 3$ ...
Let $X$ be a Banach space. Assume $(z_{n,m})_{n,m}$ is a sequence in $X$ and $x\in X$ such that $z_{n,m}\rightarrow^{m\rightarrow \infty} z_n'$ and $z_{n'}\rightarrow z'$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$. Then, why is it that $(z_{n,m})_{n,m}$ is bounded up to subsequence? Argument: As $m\rightarrow \infty$, $z_{n,...
Why is it bad to translate from Lp norm to priors?
This question has been taken from **III GEOMETRICAL OLYMPIAD IN HONOUR OF I.F.SHARYGIN**: > A triangle is cut into several (not less than two) triangles. One of them is isosceles (not equilateral), and all others are equilateral. > Determine the angles of the original triangle. My attempts: I have tried s...
Theoretically, we know that the range and domain of $g(x)=\cot^{-1}x$ is $(-\infty,\infty)$ and $(0,\pi)$, respectively. Its plot is a smooth continuous function. Strangely, I find that WulForm Mathematica plots it as an odd discontinuous (at $x=0$) function in $(-\pi/2,\pi/2)$! **Question 1:** Have your encoun...
I'm studying the construction of the tensor product. To do this, I opted for the quotient space's approach, defining first the free vector space over the cartesian $V\times W$ of two vector spaces. The following steps is at usual, take the quotient of the free vector space and the subspace spanned by especifics formal...

My question is for formulation or notation of numerators and denominators of variable-containing algebraic irrational terms (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_in_radicals">radicals</a>) in general. I'm looking for formulations to talk about variable-containing algebraic irrational terms - whose numera...
Let $f:N\rightarrow N$ and for all $i$ we have $f(i)\in \Theta(\sqrt i)$. For all $i, j$ such that $1\le i\le j\le n$ we define $$g(i, j)=\begin{cases}f(i)& i=j\\\max_{i<k\le j}\{g(i,k-1)+g(k,j)\}& i<j\end{cases}$$ What's the time complexity of $g(1,n)$?
What's the time complexity of $g(1, n)$?
