I attached the image below for reference. I am trying to color the figure using three colors and find the number of distinguishable colorings. The long sides of the figure are one side and not two short sides. We do not count reflections as indistinguishable I was trying to solve it for using casework: When the...
Random variables on $\mathbb{R}$ with finite expectation form an $\mathbb{R}$-linear space with respect to addition of random variables and multiplication by elements of $\mathbb{R}$.

Suppose $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R^3}$ is for example 3 times differentiable, not necessarily smooth function (smooth meaning $f'(t)$ exists and $f'(t) \ne \overrightarrow{0}$ for each $t$). $T(t)$ - the unit tangent at $t$ $N(t)$ - the principal normal at $t$ $\kappa(t)$ - the curvature...
Let Y ∼ Gamma(a; λ) , a, λ > 0: that means random variable Y has continuous density: $$f_Y(y) = \begin{cases} \frac{\lambda^a y^{a-1} e^{-\lambda y}}{\Gamma(a)}, & y > 0, \\ 0, & \text{elsewhere.} \end{cases}$$ Let random variable X, conditional to Y have normal distribution with expected value 0 and va...

Let $\mathscr{C}$ be an $\infty$-category (for example taking quasicategories as a model). Recall that the arrow category is $\mathsf{Ar}(\mathscr{C}) = \mathsf{Fun}([1], \mathscr{C})$. We denote by $\mathsf{Isom}(\mathscr{C})$ the full sub-$\infty$-category spanned by the equivalences. Then, there is the expected resu...
As I was surfing the Mathematics side of Instagram (as usual), I came across this integral: $$I=\int\limits_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln x\sin^{-1}x\cos^{-1}x}{x}dx$$ It encouraged me to embark on a very satisfying journey to try and evaluate it. The result turned out very nice, of course. I've found that $$I=\frac{1}{24}\ln^{4}...
Is there an easier way to evaluate the integral $I=\int\limits_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln x\sin^{-1}x\cos^{-1}x}{x}dx$?
We are going to find the definite integral $${I=\int\limits_{0}^{1}\frac{\ln x\sin^{-1}x\cos^{-1}x}{x}dx}$$ Ah, this integral. The more I looked into it the more it looked like it might have a closed form. Arriving at it just feels so satisfying! <hr> Firstly, by the substitution $x=\sin \theta$, we obtain $$\b...
I recently stumbled across what looks like a very interesting [paper][1] concerning a simplex-based bisection algorithm for multidimensional optimization. The authors provide results from their own MATLAB code, which is apparently not publicly available. I have not heard about this method on SE - has it been veri...
Suppose $X$ is a real-valued random variable with a CDF $F$, and density/mass function $f$. In elementary probability theory, we often define expectations in the form: $$ \mathbb{E}[X] = \int_{\mathbb{R}} x f(x) \ dx;\qquad \mathbb{E}[X] = \sum_{x \in \text{supp}(X)} x f(x) $$ depending on if $X$ is continuous or di...
Let $P^*(n)$ be the largest prime factor of $n$, and let $\Psi(x,y) = | \{ n \mid n \leq x \wedge P^*(n) \leq y\}|$. This is a well-studied function, and it is known that for any constant $u$ it holds that $\Psi(x,x^{1/u})$ tends to $x \cdot u^{-u}$ as $x$ tends to infinity. There is also a large literature on computin...
To be proved: for all integers $a$ and $b$, if there exist integers $x$ and $y$ such that $ax + by = \gcd(a, b)$, then $\gcd(x,y)=1$. Suppose that $ax+by = \gcd(a,b)$. **I first want to prove that every common divisor of $x$ and $y$ divides $\gcd(a,b)$.** Let $n$ be such a common divisor. We have: $n$ divides $x$...
