How many binary representation exists that each has five "00", three "01", three "10" and three "11" in it ?!
Under which minimal conditions on the function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^+$ and the measure $\mu$ also on $\mathbb{R}^+$ we have: $$ \int_A f d \mu \leq \mu(A) \int_A f d \lambda$$ for $\lambda$ Lebesgue measure and $A$ non empty measurable set? Is it enough to ask $f$ to be nonnegative and $\mu$ a nonnegative finite me...
As I wrote in a comment, the adjunction that you propose does hold in an appropriate $\infty$-categorical version of the $S$-construction.

Using Lagrange multipliers, I can see that the *maximum* of $f(x, y, z)$ subject to the constraint is $\sqrt{3}$. However, the answer key in my textbook says that the *minimum* is $1$. Can someone explain why the minimum is 1, and how to understand that?
The law of tangents still has its uses! But most modern school syllabuses seem to have ditched it, solving non-right-angled triangles using the law of sines and law of cosines instead, so your question is a fair one. There's a misconception here: > I was thinking about it and anything I could think about using the l...

This is the definition of a restriction of a vector bundle given in John Lee's Introduction to Smooth Manifolds. Let $E,M$ be smooth manifolds with or without boundary and $\pi:E \to M$ a rank-$k$ smooth vector bundle and $S$ be an embedded submanifold with or without boundary of $M$. Then we have the restriction of...

$\sigma:F\to\overline{K_2}$ can be extended to a homomorphism of the polynomial rings $F[x]\to\overline{K_2}[x]$ by $\sigma(\sum\limits_{i=0}^n a_ix^i)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^n\sigma(a_i)x^i$, i.e we simply apply $\sigma$ to the coefficients of the polynomial. Now let $m\in F[x]$ be the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ ov...
Using Lagrange multipliers, I can see that the *maximum* of $f(x, y, z)$ subject to the constraint is $\sqrt{3}$. To see this, here is what I did: - Show the constraint in the form $g(x,y,z) = k$, which gives us $g(x, y, z) = x^4 + y^4 + z^4 - 1$. - To satisfy $\nabla{f(x, y, z)} = \lambda \nabla{g(x, y, z)}...

No, that's not the right interpretation. In a loose way, one could even say it's quite the opposite, since the sub-lattice of $L$ generated by $\{a,x,y\}$ is the smallest sub-lattice of $L$ which contains $a,x,y$, in the sense that if $K \leq L$ and $a,x,y \in L$, then the sub-lattice of $L$ generated by $\{a,x,y\}...

It works in the general case of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, where the edges are labeled with distinct weights. Put a person on each ve...
**Exercise.** Suppose $U$ is a subspace of $V$ such that $V/U$ is finite-dimensional. Prove that $V$ is isomorphic to $U \times (V/U).$ ---------- **Outline of my proof.** We need to construct a linear bijection between $V$ and $U \times (V/U)$, where $U \times (V/U) = \{(u, v+U) : u \in U, v \in V\}$. I...
I showed $V$ is isomorphic to $U \times (V/U)$ without using the assumption that $V/U$ is finite-dimensional. What did I do wrong?
An [Alexandrov topology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrov_topology) on a set $X$ is a topology in which arbitrary intersections of open sets are open. Equivalently, every point has a smallest open neighborhood. Given a partition on a set $X$, one can form the corresponding [partition topology](https://en.wi...
Is every regular Alexandrov topology a partition topology?
Here is something I've found on the internet $$\begin{aligned} f-\int f&=1\\ \left(1-\int\right)f&=1\\ f&=\left(\frac1{1-\int}\right)1\\ &=\left(1+\int+\int\int+\dots\right)1\\ &=1+\int1+\int\int1+\dots\\ &= 1+x+\frac{x^2}2+\dots\\ &= e^x \end{aligned}$$ At first I interpreted this as a joke, but on closer in...
