Let $C_i\sim C$ and $R_i \sim R$ denote the durations (in ticks) of the $i$th coupled periods of clear and rainy weathers, respectively. We want to find $$p(t)=\mathbb P \left (A_t:=\text{at time $t$ the weather is $\bf{rainy}$} \right ).$$ Let us define $$q(t)=1- p(t)=\mathbb P \left (A'_t:=\text{at time $t$...
If $A\to B$ is an integral ring morphism, so is $A[[x]]\to B[[x]]$?
As I understand it, infinities typically have a one-to-one mapping with known sets. The denumerable infinity has a one-to-one mapping with integers, rational numbers, and natural numbers. The nondenumerable infinity has a one-to-one mapping to the set of real numbers and the power set of the integers. Is there any ...
In wheel theory, does $1/0$ have a one-to-one mapping to any set? Or is the concept of a one-to-one mapping outside of its definition?
How to prove that: A rotation in complex plane corresponding to opposite rotation in Riemann's sphere (Complex Analysis by Theodore W. Gamelin 1.3.3)?
Two variables change every year, e.g. $a_1=500$, $a_2=600$ and $b_1=1000$ and $b_2=800$. Their ratio change is $$YoY=a_2/b_2-a_1/b_1=600/800-500/1000=0.25$$ The negative change in the denominator is a negative event and I want to reflect this, so e.g. in the example above $YoY$ is smaller if the change in the denomin...

I understand that torsion is a concept specific to three-dimensional spaces. Despite searching on Google, I've struggled to find how to extend the concept of torsion to an n-dimensional space.

I think the step you suspect is illegal is illegal indeed. Note that the strategy $X^*$ is optimal, when we are sure that the other player plays $Y^*$, but we don't know yet, if it is optimal, when the other player plays any other strategy. I'd rather approach the problem in the following way. Since $E(X, Y^*) \l...

Given a family of curves, an envelope is defined as a curve that it is tangent to every curve in the family of curves at some point on it. To derive the equation for it, the first step is to parameterize the envelope with parameter $t$, which also indexes which curve in the family. But what if there is a curve ta...

This is more of a comment, but too long for a comment.

I copied my answer from Quora which I wrote on the same day as I saw this. Let’s take the numbers **1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11** and call it set **A** Ask yourself: how many ways can I make triplets from **A** (e.g. **1 2 3** or **10 11 6**), where triplets with exactly the same numbers count as one (e.g. **1 2 3**...

I came across a somewhat interesting differential equation while studying the shape of a meniscus ring formed at the bottom of a cylinder. Here are some 2D cross sections through a cylinder symmetry plane, computed using numerical integration, assuming a "wetting" surface, i.e. a contact angle of zero: [![menisci prof...
In the past, I came across a very elegant definition (below) of a function, which is based on the fundamental concepts of triples, pairs, and sets. However, I find it difficult to search the internet for any citations that I could refer to. One professor once told me that this definition could be over 200 years old, ...
Oscar Lanzi has already given quite a nice overview over a general method to attack a certain set of polynomials trying to disprove eventual divisibility. Let's explore this idea a bit further and give a nice summary of the method: We start with defining $q(x) := x^2+ax+b$ and examine solutions to $q(x) = x$ and $q...
