Let $G$ be a triangle-free graph. Let $n_{0} = v(G)$. Now $G$ will have a an independent set of size $\lfloor \sqrt{n_{0}} \rfloor$. You can google wikipedia on triangle-free graph and you will get the proof. What I would like to do is this. Remove the above independent set, call it $S$. Now $G - S$ is also triangle...
I'm unable to prove if the following series converge uniformly on $[0,+\infty)$ for the values of the parameter $\beta$ between $2$ and $3$. $$ \sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{n^\beta x}{x^4+n^4} $$ The maximum of the summed functions is realized (for fixed $n$) in $\frac{n}{\sqrt[4]{3}}$ and it is $\frac{\sqrt[4]{27}}{4}n^{...

There is [numerical evidence][1] that $$I=\int_{\arccos(1/4)}^{\pi/2}\arccos\left((\cos x)\left(2\sin^2x+\sqrt{1+4\sin^4x}\right)\right)\mathrm dx=\frac{\pi^2}{40}$$ How can this be proved?

If I have a subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, a function $f: A \to \mathbb{R}$, and a point $a \in A$, then (according to the definitions I came across) for $f$ to be differentiable at $a$, then there must exist some open interval $I$ so that $a \in I$ and $I \subseteq A$. I tried understanding why this requirement e...

Thank you in advance for your comments! Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold (in general non-compact, connected).
