Your Fibonacci identity > $$ F_{i-j}F_{i+j} - F_{i-k}F_{i+k} = F_{k-j}F_{j+k} (-1)^{(i + k)} $$ is derived from the identity $$ 0 = (a-b)(a+b) -(a-c)(a+c) +(b-c)(b+c) $$ with label $\texttt{id3_3_1_2b}$ in my collection of [Special Algebraic Identities](https://grail.eecs.csuohio.edu/~somos/ident04.gp). ...

We have $C = 2^\mathbb{N}$ and we identify the Cantor set with the image of $C$ via: $ t\colon C \rightarrow [0,1], \left(x_n\right)_n \mapsto \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{2x_n}{3^n} $\ Now if $x,y\in t(C)$ and $\lvert x - y \rvert < 3^{-N}$ for some $N\in \mathbb{N}$ then the first $N$ digits of $x$ and $y$ coincide...
It's known that [Fibonacci numbers][1] satisfy the following relation: >$$F_mF_{n+1}-F_{m+1}F_n=(-1)^nF_{m-n}$$ Which is called [d'Ocagne's identity][2].

Let $K\to L$ be an arbitrary field extension. $K$ has characteristic zero. Let $X$ be a variety over $K$. Let $Y=X\times_K spec L$. 1)Is it true that $Y$ is reduced? 2)Let $Y=\cup Y_i$. We have the natural maps $Y_i\to X$. Is it true that these maps are dominant?

I am unable to find any clear definition of the concept of a *closed submodule* of a module. I'd really appreciate it if someone might elaborate on it, or point me in the right direction. As far as I can tell, it seems to be an abstraction of the concept of a closed subspace of a vector space. This makes me think th...

In his book *Number Systems and the Foundations of Analysis*, Elliot Mendelson first defines a Peano system (page 53). He then goes on to prove that any two Peano systems are isomorphic — they are essentially the same (page 80). He then makes a basic existence assumption — there exists a Peano system (page 83).

In the axiomatic treatment of natural numbers, can we define what a natural number is?
If $f$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ such that $\int_0^1 f(x)x^kdx=0$ for all $k=1,2,\dots,n$, then $\int_0^1 f^2(x)dx=(n+1)^2\left(\int_0^1 f(x)dx\right)^2.$ This implies that $\begin{vmatrix} 1-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2}& \frac{1}{2}& \frac{1}{3} & \cdots & \frac{1}{n+1} \\ \frac{1}{2}& \frac{1}{3} & \frac{1}{4}& \cdot...

Most (all?) textbooks on calculus state unconditionally that a function *f* is differentiable at _x_ **if and only if** both of the one-sided derivatives $f_+'(x)$ and $f_-'(x)$ exist and are equal.

Suppose you want to find the average of an $n\times n$ **diagonal** matrix $A$ over all possible rotations, $$ \langle A\rangle = \int\limits_\text{SO($n$)} Q^T A Q \; dQ. $$ It's easy enough to do this for $n=2$ because you have only one degree of freedom. I suspect that $n=3$ would be "simple", but tedious. ...
How would one integrate over SO(n)?
Let $X$ be an infinite set. Then there exists a sequence $(x_n)_n \subset X$ with $x_n \neq x_m$ for $n\neq m$. To see this we can argue inductively: choose $x_1$ arbitrarily. If $x_1, \dots, x_n$ Are already chosen there must exist a $x_{n+1} \in X\setminus \{x_1,\dots, x_n\}$ since otherwise $X$ is finite. But why...

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.

Suppose that $(A, ∥ · ∥_A)$ and $(B, ∥ · ∥_B)$ are two Banach algebras such that $B$ is an ideal in $A$ and $∥·∥_A ≤ ∥·∥_B$. We know that each Banach $A$-bimodule $X$ is also a Banach $B$-bimodule. But the converse is not true in general! Do you have an example of a $B$-bimodule $X$ that is not an $A$-bimodule?

$1 + \dim(U \cap W) = \dim(U+W) \geq \dim(U) \geq \dim(U \cap W)$, and we see that at least one of these inequalities must be an equality. So, either $\dim(U + W) = \dim(U)$, or $\dim(U) = \dim(U \cap W)$. Can you take it from here?

Specifically, suppose we have an undirected graph $G$ with $N$ vertices and adjacency matrix $y$. We obtain a subset of nodes $S$ by [Bernoulli sampling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_...
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a (not necessarily complete) Riemannian manifold. As a result, we cannot claim that closed and bounded subsets are compact. Pick $x \in \mathcal{M}$. Let $r = inj(x)$ be the injectivity radius at $x$. Take the geodesic ball $B:=B(x,r/2)$. Set $B_x:=\exp_x^{-1}(B)$. We know that $\exp_x^{-1}(\bar{B}...
Are sufficiently small closed geodesic balls compact?
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a (not necessarily complete) Riemannian manifold. As a result, we cannot claim that closed and bounded subsets are compact. Pick $x \in \mathcal{M}$. Let $r = \text{inj}_{\mathcal{M}}(x)$ be the injectivity radius at $x$. Then $\exp_x$ is continuous and invertible on $B_{T_x\mathcal{M}}(0,r):=\{v \...
Let $a,b,c\ge 0:ab+bc+ca=3.$ Find the minimal value $$P=\sqrt{a^2b+b^2c+c^2a+abc}+\sqrt{a+b+c-1}.$$ I think $2+\sqrt{2}$ is desired result. $P$ attain this value when $a=b=c=1.$ I use $a+b+c\ge \sqrt{3(ab+bc+ca)}=3$ and we need to prove $$a^2b+b^2c+c^2a+abc\ge 4.$$ But it is wrong when $c=0,b=3,a=1$ I got stuck her...
Motivation: --- >**Puzzle:** Draw $\odot$ on paper without lifting your pen. *Solution:* Start by putting your pen in the centre of the paper to create the dot. Then fold the paper such that the edge of it touches your pen tip. Draw a line outward from the dot but on the other side of the paper. With the paper u...
I'm reading An introduction to homological algebra by Charles A. Weibel and I'm trying to prove the snake lemma 1.3.2. [Using this diagram][1] (don't have enough points to embbed it in my question) it says that $\partial=c_0^{-1} f_1b_1^{-1}$ makes the sequence $\ker(f_0)\to\ker(f_1)\to\ker(f_2)\overset{\partial}{\to}...
Is my proof for the following problem correct? Let $f:X\rightarrow(0,\infty)$ and $X=\bigcup_{i\in\mathbb{N}}A_i$ be measurable.\ Prove: $f$ is measurable $\iff$ $f\cdot\chi_{A_i}$ is measurable. Proof: "$\implies$" Let f be $\lim \limits_{n \to \infty}s_n(x)=f(x)$ $\forall x\in X$(where $s_n$ is a sequence of ...

Let $G_1\subseteq \Bbb R^n$ and $G_2\subseteq \Bbb R^m$ be open sets, then show that $G_1\times G_2\subseteq \Bbb R^n\times \Bbb R^m$ is an open set. Dem: Given that $G_1,G_2$ open sets, there exists $B_1(g_1,\epsilon)\subseteq G_1$ and $B_2(g_2,\epsilon')\subseteq G_2$, and by the definition of cartesian produ...
Let $a$ and $b$ be two relatively prime positive integers. Prove that the integer $ab - a - b$ cannot be written as a positive linear combination of $a$ and $b$ but that every integer greater than $ab - a - b$ is a positive linear combination of $a$ and $b$. Let $N_0 = ab-a-b$. I want to show that for $N > N_0$, th...
