My apologies if this is a silly question. I feel like I'm misunderstanding something basic and just need a quick clarification. I have an eigenvalue problem stated in terms of the inner product. More specifically, I have an operator $O: X \to Y$, where $X$ and $Y$ are Hilbert spaces. I would like to find the eigenv...
How to compute eigen values and eigen vectors for eigen value problem in terms of inner product?
Let $R$ be a ring with $1$ and $M$ be a right $R$-module. A homomorphism $f:P\to M$ is said to be a *projective cover* of $M$ if $P$ is projective and $f$ is an epimorphism and $\ker f \ll P$. Recall that $N$ is a *small* submodule of $K$ (written $N \ll K$) if $K=N+L \Longrightarrow K=L$. I need to prove that the ...
Suppose $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ are compact and injective linear operators in $L_2[0,1]$ and that $AB^{*}=CD^{*}$. Is it possible that both $D^{-1}B$ and $C^{-1}A$ are unbounded?
Can both of these linear operators be unbounded?
Below is a problem I did. I believe my answer is right but I would like somebody to check it for me. > **Problem:** Show that the Black-Scholes formula for call and put options satisfy put-call parity equation.

How can I visualise the meaning of isotopy that appears while defining _Teichmuller_ space? Can you suggest a picture where two maps are not isotopic? I want more clarification about isotopyic maps. Isotopy is sometimes referred to as homotopy via homeomorphism. I need geometric visualisation.

Can anyone explain this statement? "Firstly, let’s define the input space as X (sensory observations) and the label space as Y (semantic categories).

Why does a shift in the probability distribution over a label space naturally trigger a shift in the distribution over input space?
The real plane can be augmented with a line at infinity such that two parallel lines intersect at a point at infinity, and the set of all such points forms a line.

My understanding of the definition of a statistical model is a probability space $(\Omega,\Sigma,p)$, a random variable $X:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$, and a collection of probability measures $\mu_{\theta}$ on $\mathbb{R}$, where $\theta$ is a parameter. Aren't the $\mu_{\theta}$ supposed to be related to the random varia...

In (first-order) logic, I understand that there are two notions of the truth of a sentence $\phi$ in a theory $T$: 1. Syntactic truth: $T\vdash \phi$ if $\phi$ is provable from $T$, 2.

What you "saw somewhere" is of course incorrect, as $v_{k+1},\ldots,v_n$ cannot be a basis for $V$ if you had a basis for $V$ with $n$ elements; this one just has $n-k$ elements. Instead, let us consider the following: if $v_1,\ldots,v_n$ form a basis for $V$, and $1\lt i\leq n$, then $$v_1+v_i, v_2+v_i,\ldots, v_{...

You posted this exact same question yesterday and I gave you the answer in a comment.

In other words, I want the rows of $U$ to lie on the unit (hyper-)sphere. Is such a decomposition possible in general? I...

Peano axioms characterize natural numbers, they use neither sums nor multiplication. Is there an axiomatic characterization for the integer numbers which uses neither sums nor multiplications? I mean, is there a non-algebraic characterization of the integer numbers? Best regards.
I just learnt character theory and I am reading the paper https://academic.oup.com/jlms/article-abstract/66/3/623/811347 which is a quite beautiful paper. Section 4.3, on p. 631 contains an inequality which confuses me for a while: \ Let $P=\{\lambda \vdash n, \lambda \neq (1^n), (n)\}$ be the set of partition of the ...
Given some $n$, is it possible to select $k_i$ such that the following is true? $$ 3^n2^{k_0} + 3^n2^{k_1}+ 3^n2^{k_{2}} + 3^n2^{k_3} + ... + 3^n2^{k_i} = 2^m - 1 $$ for $n=1$ it's trivial, for $n=2$ it's $$ 9 + 9 \times 2 + 9 * 4 = 64 - 1 $$ for $n=3$ $$ k_i = [0, 2,3,5,6, 7, 8, 10, 13] $$ and $n=4$: ...
3^x2^y summed over y = 2^k-1?
Suppose $g_{n}(\cdot)$ defined on $[0,1]$ converges in distribution to a continuous Gaussian process. Let $U_{1},...,U_{n}$ be i.i.d. random variables following $\text{Unif}[0,1]$. Allow $g_{n}$ to be correlated with the $U_{i}$s; for instance, $g_{n}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\sum_{i}1(U_{i}\leq x)$. Is the following sta...
In Shreeve's book on finance in continuous time, he "defines" the following. He says on p. 99: > In general, to compute the first-order variation of a function up to > time $T$, we first choose a *partition* $\Pi= \{t_0, t_1, \ldots, t_n\}$ of $[0,T]$, which is a set of times $0=t_0 < t_1 < \cdots < t_n = T$. T...
In his book "Probability theory", Klenke uses the following definition of transition kernel: [![enter image description here][1]][1] and if in $ii)$ the measure is a probability measure for all $\omega_1$ then $K$ is called a stochastic kernel. Later on he defines regular conditional distribution of $Y$ given ...
Imagine a Pendulum with String Length L, and Angle θ, which forms arclength S (Will be used later in the derivation.) First V = $\sqrt{2gh} $ (Height is measured strait down) KNOWN TO BE A CORRECT FORMULA (From Here, Assume that nothing else is proven to be correct.) Arclength X = $Lθ $ Time (Period ) = ...
So, to first answer your main question: > can we, for all ordered pairs $(x, y)$ find a monadic predicate, call it $\def\Fst{{\rm First}}\Fst$ such that $\Fst((x, y))=x$? And the answer is, yes, absolutely. If someone put forth some notion of ordered pairs, and there was _not_ some way of extracting the $x$ from...

How to prove that $(x-3)^{\frac {1} {2}}=\frac{10}{x-5}$ has at least one real root? I know that you have to let $f(x)={(x-3)^{\frac {1} {2}}}$ and $g(x)=\frac{10}{x-5}$ then you let $h(x)=f(x)-g(x)=0$ I know I must use the intermediate value theorem but I cant find the $x$ intervals (need 2) of this graph w...
