Is $\mathbb{R}^3\setminus\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3\mid x\leq 1,y\leq1,-1\leq z\leq 1\}$ a star domain?
To answer your question: when can $(a-3)(a-7)$ be a perfect square? Suppose $$(a-3)(a-7)=k^2, $$ for some integer $k$. Then $$a^2-10a+21-k^2=0.$$ This implies that $$a = \dfrac{10\pm\sqrt{100-4(21-k^2)}}{2},$$ implying that $$a = \dfrac{10\pm 2\sqrt{4+k^2}}{2}.$$ As $a$ has to be an integer, we look for...
Most introductory textbooks on model theory establish the theory based on the ZF set theory (e.g. [1]). In particular, a structure is defined to be a 4-tuple of *sets*, and so on. In [2], I came to realize that this choice is unnecessary, i.e. the underlying theory ought not be ZF set theory; people suggested there are...

**How to evaluate** $$\int_0^{\infty } \left(\frac{1}{(x+1)^2 \log (x+1)}-\frac{\log (x+1) \tan ^{-1}(x)}{x^3}\right) \, dx = G - \gamma + \frac{1}{4} \pi \log 2 - \frac{3}{2}.$$ I made some progress.

How to solve this task (find modulus, real and imaginary part)? $$z = \frac{(1+i)(1+i)^2(1+i)^3...(1+i)^{20}}{i^0+i^2+i^4+i^6+...+i^{20}}$$
>I hope to see how a structure can be defined without the notion of sets. Why would you want to do so? I don't think PA is the right theory in which to do model theory. The cornerstone of model theory is Gödel's completeness theorem; its proof certainly doesn't require the full strength of ZFC. If you look at the wi...
I have a question on the differentiable of a function and I want to be sure that my understanding of this concept is correct. ### Question: Calculate the differentiate of $ Q: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined by $Q(x)=B(x;x)$ where $B: \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ ...
How do I show that $\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\text{Im}(X)}xP[X=x\mid A] = \dfrac{E[X\cdot1_A]}{P[A]}$, for $A \subseteq \Omega$ a sub-sigma algebra and $X$ a discrete random variable from $\mathcal{F} \to \mathbb{R}$? The hint was that we should start by assuming that $X$ takes finite many values, and then extend the...
Consider the space $H^s(\mathbb R^d)$ ($f \in L^2$ not in Schwartz class), $s \in \mathbb R$.

I previously asked this question the other way around (given the angles of rotation, what are the resulting angles of azimuth and elevation), thinking that it would be simple to reverse it, but it's not.

How would I explain it to someone who has not learnt anything beyond calc 1? Very vaguely: The vector $\vec{V}$ lives inside of three-dimensional space (clear from the picture). But also clear from the picture is that $\vec{V}$ is in fact orthogonal to $\vec{U}$, meaning that $\vec{V}$ lies inside a specific 2-dimen...

What more elements should we include in the set $P=\{ab:a\in \mat...
$x^n/1+x^n$ is monotonic , $x \in R^+ $ , $n \in N$ tried solving it by differentiating but not getting feasible result, also is there any other way of computation through which this can be solved easily? any hint would be appreciated
I found very understandable proofs why $\nabla \cdot (\nabla \times H) = 0$ might be zero. But I do not derive any understanding out of it. Imagine I have any source field. Why cannot I use Stokes Theorem on it and construct a field which would have the source field as curl?

I'm studying for my complex analysis qual, and I've found a problem that I haven't seen solved here yet: Take $\lambda$ to be purely imaginary. Prove that $z-\lambda=\frac{1}{3}e^{z^2}$ has exactly one solution in the strip $S:=\{x+iy:x\in [-1,1]\}$ . I've tried showing that the roots are all in the disk $|\lamb...
Rouché's Theorem: How many roots does lambda-z=1/3(e^z^2) have in the strip?
Let $p$ be an element of a commutative ring with unity. The following definition is natural: > $p$ is *minimal under division* if its only divisors (up to equivalence) are $1$ and itself. That is, for all $a$, if $(p) \subseteq (a)$ then $(a) = (1)$ or $(a) = (p)$. Although closely related, in a ring with zero di...
Suppose we have a function $$ f(x) = \frac{(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i)^2}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2} ,$$ where $x = (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n) $ is a vector of non-negative real numbers. We want to determine the convexity of this function. Specifically, we want to answer the question: Is the function $ f(x) $ convex for $ x \geq ...
A [Surface of Constant Width][1] is a 3D surface with the special property that any two parallel planes which are tangent to it are always a constant distance apart, no matter the relative rotations of the surface and paired-planes. I want to construct a trio of parametric equations $\bigl(X(u, v), Y(u, v), Z(u, v)\big...
Can the construction of this 2D Curve of Constant Width be adapted to a 3D Surface of Constant Width?
My question is based on exercise II.6.9 in Hartshorne's *Algebraic Geometry*. Suppose that $X$ is a projective curve over $k$ (an algebraically closed field). Let $\tilde{X}$ be its normalization and $\pi: \tilde{X}\rightarrow X$ be the projection map. For each point $P\in X$, let $\mathscr{O}_P$ be its local ring ...
