So the above statement is a question from a course on Theory of Computation. I have already proven it using the pumping lemma, but am looking for proofs using the Myhill-Nerode theorem, or more specifically, it's corollary, which states that a language, $L$, has a finite number of equivalence classes under the relation...
From what I understand we say that a function is increasing on an interval $I$ if $$ x_1 < x_2 \quad\Rightarrow\quad f(x_1) < f(x_2). $$ for all $x_1,x_2\in I$. I understand that some might call this *strictly increasing* and allow for equality when saying *increasing*. We know that when a function is differenti...
This is a projection excercise I'm stuck on. Lets say we have two planes in R3, $A$ and $B$, which both go through the origin. We also have two orthogonal projections, $ProjA$ and $ProjB$, projecting on plane $A$ and $B$ respectively. $ProjA$ is given by the projection matrix $P1$, so that $$ProjA(v) = P1v$$ $ProjB$ i...
Let $A\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}$ be a symmetric and positive definite matrix.

Given a sequence of functionals $(\omega_n)_{n \in \mathcal{N}}$ on a Von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{W}$ converging to $\omega$, I have the following doubts: 1.

I'm having difficulty grasping how the zeros of Riemann zeta function is calculated. I thought studying a simpler function such as $f(z)=z^2$ may help. I'm reading this [LibreText document (PDF)][1].

Is this right? that is, is there exists an invertible matrix $P$, such that $P^{-1}AP=\begin{pmatrix}B&\\&0\end{pmatrix}$, with $rank B=r$. $B$ may not be a $r\times r$ matrix$. As is well...
In tao's book "Nonlinear dispersive equations Appendix A",a Bernstein inequality puzzled me a long time: Suppose that $P_{\geq N}$ is smoothed out projection to region $|\xi|\geq N$, where $N\in 2^{\mathbb{Z}}$ is a dyadic number, $\hat{\varphi}(\xi)$($|\hat{\varphi}(\xi)|\leq1$) is a real valued raidally symmetric ...
I think I ve found a solution for "c)" in all the cases I will be happy to have your feedback on what I ve writen. c) To prove that $\vec{\phi} (r ; \theta) $ is a bijection from $r > 0 , 0 \leq \theta < 2\pi $ to $S$ I need to demonstrate that $\vec{\phi} (r ; \theta) $ is injective and surjective. 1- *Inj...

When I was an elementary student, I'd suffered from understanding basic things like multiplication table and other simple things and I had to memorized them. Last hours I was searching for genesis of multiplication table for the first time (I was curious, If that wasn't folded by experience or observation, So how was m...
why learning math in elementary school was harder for me rather than upper grades?

Distributing the error in a frequency table so that the $\chi^2$ statistics are distributed according to the actual distribution?

I am trying to find an identity for $\arctan(ab)$ in terms of any trigonometric function involving $a$ and $b$ being separate. I have attempted doing so using $(\arctan(a)+\arctan(b))^2$ but that got me nowhere. I have not tried any other ideas because I can't think of anything that is worth putting down on paper an...
**Problem**: a set of integers has a coprime cycle if it can be listed in a cyclic list of the form $(a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_n)$, where * each element of the set appears exactly once and $\gcd(a_i, a_{i+1}) = 1$ for $i = 1, \ldots, n$ and * $a_{n+1} = a_1$. For example, $(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 13, 12)$ is a co...
The Lah numbers satisfy the following rising-falling factorials relation \begin{equation} x^{\overline{n}} = \sum_{k=0}^{n} L(n, k) x^{\underline{k}}, \end{equation} where $x^{\overline{n}}$= $x(x+1)\times ... \times (x+n-1)$ and $x^{\underline{n}}$ = $x(x-1) \times ... \times (x-n+1)$. What would be the ...
Is this proof of the Lah Numbers Polynomial Identity With Induction on $n$ correct?
Hint: Set $z=e^x$. This gives $$z^4+8z^3+13z^2-8z+1 \, = \, \left(z^2 + 3 z - 1\right) \left(z^2 + 5 z - 1\right) \, =\, 0$$ Each quadratic corresponds to two zeroes, for a total of four $z$ values. Finally, you can take their natural log, to find the four corresponding $x$ values. [All four $z$ values](https://...
