I understand that $\mathscr{K}(\mathscr{H})$ is a closed subspace of $\mathscr{B}(\mathscr{H})$. Where $\mathscr{K}$ is the compact operators and $\mathscr{H}$ is the bounded operators. I need to prove that if $S \in \mathscr{H}$ and $T \in \mathscr{K}$ then ST is compact. I started by defining D(ST) = {u| $u \in D...
As mentioned in Revuz-Yor pg.120, the main reason that we require $H_{s}$ to be predictable, is because we want the integral against an adapted increasing process $A_{s}$ $$H\cdot A:=\int H_{s}dA_{s}$$ to remain adapted and in turn preserve martingale too. So as mentioned in (2.2) Theorem part (a), if we don't h...
Unless I've missed something here, doesn't $\sum\frac{\beta}{n\alpha + \beta} \ge \sum\frac{\beta}{n\alpha + n}$ already diverge?

Can this presentation of reflection be considered foundational?
To show the question, it is quite straightforward to just use the sequential definition of compact operators. As for your claims about the domain, if you are given $S,T\in\mathcal{B(H)}$, are you not already assuming the domain to be the whole Hilbert space?

I have read in my textbook that if I have, for example two monomials $A$ e $B$ one or both with rational coefficients, $$A=\frac 34 x^2y^3, \qquad B=-2xyz$$ for the $\text{lcm}$ or the $\text{gcd}$ we have always $1$ as numerical coefficient. Is it a convention or is there something more complex that I do not kno...

Might be a stupid question, but I was thinking about this today and wanted to clear something up.

The answer [here][1] makes sense to me, in the sense that the stochastic integral does not preserve the local martingale property if the integrand is not predictable, but I am confused as to why.

I don't understand how they are derived, there are little explanations to why they are true, the authors only assume that you are on that level. Like this one: $$EPE(x_0)=E_{y_0|x_0}E_{\mathcal{T}}(y_0...
The question: Given a random sample $X_1,...,X_n$ show that $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ is an unbiased estimator for $E(X_1)$. My confusion: Given a statistical model $(\Omega,\Sigma,p_{\theta})$, where $p_{\theta}$ is a parameterized collection of probability measures, We define $E_{\theta}(X)=\int_{\Omega}X(\ome...
where are the poles in the product of zeta functions, and where are their residues?
I was tutoring a student today and was given a question that stated the following: Find P(|z| > -0.29). Seems simple enough. But this doesn't really make sense in concept. Firstly, absolute values always yield a positive result, so it wouldn't really make sense for this question. Would the answer simply be 1? An...
I'm wondering why sequent calculus doesn't have rules like these (at least in the ones I've come across): $$ \Gamma \vdash A \rightarrow B, \Pi \qquad \Delta \vdash A, \Sigma \over \Gamma, \Delta \vdash B, \Pi, \Sigma $$ And $$ \Gamma, A \rightarrow B \vdash \Pi \qquad \Delta, A \vdash \Sigma \over \Gamma, \Del...
Why is there no conditional inference rule in Sequent Calculus of these forms?
I'm wondering why sequent calculus doesn't have rules like these (at least in the ones I've come across): $$ \Gamma \vdash A \rightarrow B, \Pi \qquad \Delta \vdash A, \Sigma \over \Gamma, \Delta \vdash B, \Pi, \Sigma $$ And $$ \Gamma, A \rightarrow B \vdash \Pi \qquad \Delta, A \vdash \Sigma \over \Gamma, \Del...
First note that I'm not an expert in set theory, but do have an interest in the topic in that I want to be able, at least in principle, to reduce my mathematics to the underlying axioms of my chosen set theory. In ["One universe as a foundation for category theory"][1], Saunders Mac Lane proposes that a somewhat goo...

If $f(x) =\sin^{1200}(x) \ln(1+x)^{500}\arctan^{300}(x)$ how to find $f^{(2000)}(0)$ without Taylor series?
I come across this problem while reading hints for **Exercise 3.15 (Brezis)**: Let $\Omega=(0,1)$ and sequence $f_n$ defined by $f_n(x)=ne^{-nx}$. Prove that: $$\displaystyle \int_{\Omega} \varphi f_n\rightarrow0,\forall\varphi\in C_c(\Omega)$$ Where $C_c(\Omega)$ is the space of continous function on $\Omega$ wi...
There is a sequence. The first integer is positive, the second integer is negative. An alternating part is a part that switches between positive and negative (0 is not included) (a) I have a complete answer to this part (b) What second term should be chosen to get the longest possible switching between positive a...
Suppose $f: [0,1]^2 \mapsto \mathbb R$ is continuous. Let $$ \underline{y}(x)\equiv \inf \{y\in [0,1]: f(x,y)\geq 0\}. $$ There is $y_0\in(0,1)$ such that $$f(0,y_0)= 0,$$ $$f(0,y)< 0 \quad \forall y\neq y_0.$$ Moreover, $$ f(x,y_0) > 0 \quad \forall x\in (0,1]. $$ *I hope to find out: is it true tha...
