Let $(X,d_X), (Y,d_Y)$ be two metric spaces. Let $\mathcal{F}\subset C(X,Y)$ be a family of continuous functions, each of them continuous at $x_0\in X.$ I'd like to get a sufficient condition on $\mathcal{F}$ to guarantee that $\mathcal{F}$ is equicontinuous at $x_0\in X.$ One immediate condition is that $\mathca...
Is there a way to check that a given family $\mathcal{F}$ of continuous functions at $x_0$ is equicontinuous at $x_0?$
Let $G$ be a group, and a $H$ a subgroup, and for $a,b \in G$ let $a\sim b$ if $aH = bH$. Suppose I have a measure $\mu$ on $G/\sim$, the left cosets of $H$, and suppose that $G$ is equipped with a sigma algebra $\Sigma_G$ fine enough to contain all the cosets of $H$. How can I define a measure $\nu$ on $G$ that satisf...

I am an engineer, so maybe this question is naive. I study equivalence relations and equivalence classes. An equivalence relation is a binary relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Any number is equal to itself (reflexive). If a = b, then b = a (symmetric). If a = b, and b = c, then a=c (transitive)...
How change an non-equivalency relation to equivalency relation?

Which is greater : $66^{70}$ or $70^{66}?$ My approach: Consider $x^y > y^x$. This is true if and only if $\ln x^y > \ln y^x$, $y \ln x > x \ln y$ $\frac{\ln x}{\ln y} > \frac{x}{y}$. Therefore $66^{70} > 70^{66}$, since $\frac{\ln 66}{\ln 70} \approx 0.98615027281$ and $\frac{66}{70} = \frac{33}{35} \ap...

Let $X=\{a_i:1\le i\le n\}$ be the set of elements of $a$ for $x\in X$ let $$i(x)=\min\{j:a_j=x\}$$ be the first occurence of $x$ in $a$. Now, for $x,y\in X$ let $x<y$ if $i(x)<i(y)$. This order is known as *order of first occurrence*. Now, let $x$ ...
Prove the following inequality $$\frac{3x^5+1}{x^4+x^3+1}+\frac{3y^5+1}{y^4+y^3+1}+\frac{3z^5+1}{z^4+z^3+1} \ge 4$$ where $x,y,z \ge 0$ and $x+y+z=3$ I don't really know how to approach such an inequality. I tried the inequality of means and Cauchy's inequality, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting close to anything...
We're interested in $L(s):=\int_0^\infty\tanh t\exp(-st)dt$. The integrand is $\sim t$ for small $t$, and $\sim\exp(-st)$ for large $t$, so $L$ converges for all $s>0$. For such $s$,$$\begin{align}L(s)&=\int_0^\infty\frac{1-\exp(-2t)}{1+\exp(-2t)}\exp(-st)dt\\&\stackrel{\ast}{=}\sum_{k\ge0}(2-\delta_{k0})(-1)^k\int_0^\...
Here is the term: $M M C$, where $M = S (S S) S$, which involves the combinators $C = λxλyλz((xz)y)$ and $S = λxλyλz((xz)(yz))$. What does $M M C$ reduce to, under β-equivalence? Or ... if its β-reduction sequences are all infinite (as they appear to be) ... what infinitary combinator expression does it unfold into, in...
A normal form for a chaotic combinator term?
This question is about a gap in a proof I'm writing. I understand intuitively what the gap is - but can't find the correct or standard phrasing. **Context** The exercise is as follows (edited from ex 3.4.5 Terence Tao Analysis I 4th ed): > Let $f : X \to Y$ be a function from one set $X$ to another set $Y$ . ...

This question was posited to me by a coworker. I was able to get the answer, but I'm unsatisfied with how I did it. 1. $n < 354$ $n^5 = 133^5 + 110^5 + 84^5 + 27^5 < (133+110+84+27)^5$ $n < 354$ 2. $n \equiv 0 \pmod 2$ 133 and 27 are odd, 110 and 84 are even. Thus $133^5 + 110^5 + 84^5 + 27^5$ is the s...
