> In case of spherical geometry one can imagine everything well as a 2 dimensional sphere in 3 dimensional space and all the major facts on parallel lines make sense. I would argue that the better analogy is elliptic geometry. That's the same as spherical geometry, except that you treat antipodal points as a unit. L...

### Question: Let a r.v. $0\leq X \leq 1$. Prove that $V(X) \leq \frac{1}{4}$. When does we have an equality? ### Answer: 1- $0\leq X \leq 1 \Rightarrow X^2 \leq X \Rightarrow \int X(\omega)^2 dP (\omega) = E[X^2] \leq E[X] = \int X(\omega) dP (\omega)$ because the pdf $f(x)$ is strictly positive. So...

The context might be an old photograph of (say) soldiers in a trench or a picnic in a forest, but without a horizon or any vanishing points. My conjecture is that 4 known points in world space mapping to 4 points in projected image space are enough, with the constraint that the points form a solid object and a quadr...

I will try to give you an answer, though with a slightly different approach. There are several things to be agreed upon before entering into this discussion. First, what is "chaotic dynamics"? Although, to my knowledge, there is no a universally accepted mathematical definition of chaos, we do have ways to "classify...
I have a little question about of the associativity of the tensor products of two modules. If `M, N, P` are `A`-modules, we know that `(M \otimes N) \ P \cong M \otimes N \otimes Q`.

Let $p$ be a negative prime number such that $p \equiv 5\pmod 8$. Let $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and denote its ideal class group by $Cl_K$. I aim to prove that $Cl_K[2] := \{a \in Cl_K \mid 2a = 0\}$ is trivial. In this context, $p$ and $2$ are unramified in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})/\mathbb{Q}$ because one can ver...

Given a (autonomous) dynamical system, one can prove instability of a point via the Lyapunov method, by simply finding a Lyapunov function that increases in a neighbourhood of the point. This ensures a stronger property than instability. It ensures the existence of a small enough neighbourhood, such that all orbits sta...
I have a game with five die with six faces (A normal dice). The player rolls all the dice and what I am trying to work out is the probability of rolling exactly two dice with the same number. For example, XXYYZ would not be allowed as it has two pairs. I originally had the following equation: $$\frac{6 \times 1 \tim...

What is the demonstration of the "sample" standard deviation being somehow more exact than the classic standard deviation, if x/n ≠ x/(n-1)?
If we have a $\mathbb{k}$-algebra $R$ over a field $\mathbb{k}$ together with an $R$-bimodule $M$ we can consider the center $Z(M)=\{m\in M \vert \ \ rm=mr \ \ \forall r\in R\}.$ This is again an $R$-bimodule. If we consider $R$ as the regular bimodule, then $Z(R)\cong \operatorname{Hom}_{R-R}(R,R)$ as $\mathbb{k}$-alg...

I am not sure if these formulations of the $m$-equivalence of two structures $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{B}$ are correct.

I am new to mathematical logic so forgive me if this is a bad question.

I need to show that $Ax\leq b$ for $A=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 1 & 1\end{pmatrix}$ and $b=(0, 0)^T$ is not total dual integral. So I have calculated that $Ax\leq b$ holds only when $x_1\leq 0$ and $x_1\leq x_2\leq -x_1$. I think we have an optimal solution for $\max c^Tx$ when $c=(1,1)^T$, and the optimal value is 0. S...

It's well-known that if a continuous function taking values in a Hausdorff space is uniquely determined by its specification on a dense subset of the domain.

You can also use the multilinearity of $f$. Can you see that $$f(x_1,\ldots,x_n) = \sum_{j_1,\ldots,j_n=1}^n \left(\prod_{k=1}^n x_{k, j_k}\right)f(e_{j_1}, \ldots, e_{j_n})?$$ Now what happens if two of $j_k$ are the same? What happens if they are all distinct? Can you finish the proof?

Minor, pedantic nitpick: a point is zero dimensional. The objects you are describing are points in an $n$-dimensional space. The points themselves are not $n$-dimensional.

No. You know that if $a$ divides $b$ in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-5}]$, then $N(a)$ divides $N(b)$ in $\mathbb{Z}$. However: 1. You don't have an $N(a)$ and an $N(b)$. You have $N(a)$, $N(2+\sqrt{-5})$, and an integer $18$, and note that $N(a)$ divides $18$. So? You have not even shown an element $b\in\mathbb{Z}[\s...

So I have the ODE given by $-u''(x)=f(x;\lambda)$ for $x\in(0,1)$ with the boundary condition $u(0)=u(1)$ and the function is defined as $f(x;\lambda) = -\lambda e^{-\lambda x}$ for $\lambda>0$. This has a unique solution in $C^2_0[0,1]=\{g\in C^2[0,1] \mid g(0)=g(1)=0\}$. How can I show (using Green's function) that $...
The original question was: Differentiate the given function with respect to x: $$ f(x) = \dfrac{ax^2+bx+c}{\sqrt{x}} $$ I simplified till $$ \dfrac{\sqrt{x}\left(2ax+b\right)-\frac{ax^2+bx+c}{2\sqrt{x}}}{x} $$ then the next step simplified it into $$ \dfrac{2ax+b}{\sqrt{x}}-\dfrac{ax^2+bx+c}{2x^\frac{3}{2...
I was wondering if I could get some input on my strategy for inverting a set of multivariate polynomial equations for the independent variables. My functions are as follows: $$g_1(x,y) = a_0 + a_{1}x+a_{2}y + a_{3}xy + a_{4}y^2 \\ g_2(x,y) = b_0 + b_{1}x+b_{2}y + b_{3}xy + b_{4}y^2 $$ Now, what I want to get are ...
Consider a number in its decimal representation that begins with an **odd number of consecutive digits of 4**, followed by a **single digit of 1**. An example of such a number would be 41, 4441, or any similar pattern extending with 4s. My question is: Can such a number ever be a **perfect square**? To clarify, the ...
Can a Number Comprised of Repeated 4s Followed by a Single 1 be a Square Number?
[![enter image description here][1]][1] this is from Munkres Topology and I'm confused about the extension of $j$ from $A$ to $A\cup C$ by the preceding lemma which is the below: [![enter image description here][2]][2] [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6EcpC.png [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/b4GN3...
