I came across this question on [Quora][1]: > How many $3\times 3$ matrices over the finite field $\{0,1,2\}$ satisfy the condition $A^{-1}=(A^T)^2$? Thanks to NumPy, with sheer [brute-force][2], I found that there are $33$ such matrices. (You may go through the code and the output.) I believe that there is a m...
Imagine that you have 2x conncected graphs and they have the same number of vertrices of each degree and the same number of cycles of each length how does it come up despite these facts that they are not isomorphic? Aren't these facts obvious if they have the same number of vertrices and the same degree and the same...
I'm currently solving an initial-boundary-value problem with Dirichlet boundary values, and are stuck on one part that I can't say what is wrong and right. I got the following PDE $$\begin{cases}\partial_t u(t,x)=\partial_x^2u(t,x), 0<x< \pi, 0<t\\ u(0,x)=1\\ u(t,x)=0, 0<t, x \in \partial D \end{cases}$$ Im ...
Given the first fundamental form and the shape operator: $$g = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 0 & \cos^2(u) \end{pmatrix} \text{and} \,S = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix},$$ I want to check, if there exists a surface $f: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R^3}$ satisfying these conditions. We know that $S^T = bg^{...
I want to calibrate the parameters $\theta$ of a known forward model $y=f(\theta, x)$, i.e., I want to identify offsets of around +- 10% from a nominal model $\theta_0$ I can not measure $y$ directly, but my measurement function $h_c$ only depends on this forward model: $y_c = h_c(f(\theta, x))$ Let's call the ca...
Can I use Sturm's comparison theorem to say something about the average? Let $f(t)$ be a continuous function such that $\lim_{t \to \infty } f(t) = \infty$. Let us consider the following function $$ \ddot{x}(t) + f^2(t) x(t) = 0. $$ Let $C$ be a constant. Then, we can find $T$ such that $C^2 < f^2(t)$ for all ...
what more can I say using Sturm's comparison theorem?
**One-sentence summary:** I want an intuitive explanation for why closeness of probability measures (in terms of, eg., TV or Lévy-Prokhorov) implies the existence of good couplings. **Set up.** Consider a separable metric space $(X,d)$ and the space of probability measures $\mathcal{M}(X)$. Equip $\mathcal{M}(X)$ wi...

Suppose that we have a sequence of polyhedron $C^k$ that is non-increasing, i.e., we have $C^{k+1}\subseteq C^k$. Suppose moreover that each $C^k$ is formed by the convex hull of at most $n$ points, where $n$ is a fixed constant independent of $k$, i.e., $C^k=\mbox{conv}(z_1^k,\ldots,z_n^k)$, where $\mbox{conv}$ mea...
Suppose that $f \in K[X]$ is a separable irreducible polynomial. Let $L$ be the splitting field of $f$ over $K$. Is it true that $[L:K] = |Gal(f|K)|$? Why I think this is because, first of all $|Aut(L|K)| = [L:K]$. Further, since if $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n$ are the roots of $f$, then $L = K(\alpha_1, \ldots, \al...
Is the degree of the extension the same as the size of the Galois group of the polynomial?
I am an electrical engineer, currently focused on designing a feedback network. I've attempted to model the engineering problem as a mathematical sequence and sought to derive a general expression for it. Despite numerous attempts, I have been unsuccessful thus far. The sequence is shown below $$ A_n=A_{n-1}+k\sum_{j...
Just gathering up the several apt comments: there is simply no assurance, no general reason, why a countable subset of $(0,1)$ (etc.) should occur as a monotone increasing sequence. The comments give counter-examples: $\{1,{1\over 2},{1\over 3},\ldots\}$ and, actually, all rationals in that interval. Trying "either mon...
Given a Riemannian manifold $\mathcal M$ with metric $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$, we define the length of a smooth curve $\gamma : I \to \mathcal M$ as \begin{equation} L(\gamma) = \int_I \sqrt{\langle \gamma'(t), \gamma'(t) \rangle}_{\gamma(t)} \ \text{d}t. \end{equation} Why are we allowed to do this, and not ...
Yes, in fact $X^*\cap X=\emptyset$. Lets write down explicitly: $$X^*=Cauchy(X)/\sim$$ where $Cauchy(X)$ denotes the set of all Cauchy sequences on $X$ and $\sim$ is some relation. In other words $X^*\subseteq \mathcal{P}(Cauchy(X))$ as sets, where $\mathcal{P}(A)$ denotes the power set of $A$. Now what is a sequ...

Suppose we've removed some faces such that no two of them share an edge. Then if vertices are considered to be connected, the resulting polyhedron is still rigid, because every edge length remains fixed so we know that each hole is bounded by three edges of equal length - so it still has to be an equilateral triangle. ...

Long ago, I learned about the Cauchy completion of metric spaces via the usual explicit construction of quotienting the set of Cauchy sequences.

In a chemical reaction that follows the logistic equation, if the initial velocity is 0, it becomes a steady solution. However, in the equation of motion, the fact that the initial velocity is 0 does not necessarily mean that it is a steady solution.

I really intended for this to be a comment. You should take a look at [Why are Sobolev spaces useful?][1] There are some nice details there.

*In a 52 card deck, what is the probability of getting a run of exactly 3 cards of the same suit in a 4-card hand?* So, treat aces (A) as a 1 so that A, 2, 3, 4 is a 4-card run (not a 3-card run), while J, Q, K, A is a 3-card run. Valid examples are: 1. 9♣️, 10♣️, J♣️, 5♥️ 2. 8♣️, 9♣️, 10♣️, 3♣️ 3. 2♣️, 3♣️, ...
Let $G, G'$ be smooth algebraic groups over $k$ (absolute Galois group $\Gamma$) which are etale **inner** forms of each other, that is, there exists an isomorphism $G_{k_s} \cong G'_{k_s}$ and the associated torsor for the automorphism group is in the image of the natural map $H^1(k, G/Z_G) \to H^1(k, \operatorname{Au...
