If two distinct elements A and B of T always satisfy $|A \cap B| \leq 3 $ what is the maximum number of elements in T? **Additional context** The program has shown that the number of elements of...
I was wondering about the necessary conditions to a warped product metric $dx^2+f(x)^2 dy^2$ be a complete metric on $\mathbb{R}^2$, when $f$ is a positive function defined on $\mathbb{R}$. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it right, or is there a easy counterexample? I appreciate it.

From $h(t):= f(x_0+t)-f(x_0^{+})$, since $f(x_0^{+})$ is constant, it suffices to show that $f(x_0 +t)$ is Riemann integrable on $[0, \pi]$. We will use answer of https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3029512/integrability-of-composite-functions?noredirect=1&lq=1 : > Lemma. If $f$ is a Riemann integrable function...
Let a Collatz sequence of a natural number $x$ as follow: $$\{x\}: \begin{cases} x_0=x\\ x_{n+1} = \begin{cases} \frac{3x_n+1}{2} \text{ if $x_n$ is odd}\\ \frac{x_n}{2} \text{ if $x_n$ is even} \end{cases} \quad\forall n\in\mathbb{N}^* \end{cases}$$ The sequence is said to be convergent iff there exists k...

Suppose $f(x,y,z)$ is a real-valued function that satisfies the Laplace equation, $\nabla^2f=0$. Consider the Hessian matrix $$ \Delta(x,y,z)= \begin{bmatrix} f_{xx} & f_{xy} & f_{xz}\\ f_{yx} & f_{yy} & f_{yz}\\ f_{zx} & f_{zy} & f_{zz}\\ \end{bmatrix}, $$ which is real symmetric. Therefore, its eigenvalues m...
A fair coin is tossed $n\geq 2$ times. Player 1 wins if there are more HH than HT in the sequence, Player 2 wins if there are more HT than HH. Who has the higher probability of winning ? Modelling the tosses with iid $X_i$, the number of $HH$ is $S_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} 1_{X_i=H,X_{i+1}=H}$ and the number of HT is $R...
Suppose $f(x,y,z)$ is a real-valued function of three real variables that satisfies the Laplace equation, $\nabla^2f=0$. Consider the Hessian matrix $$ \Delta(x,y,z)= \begin{bmatrix} f_{xx} & f_{xy} & f_{xz}\\ f_{yx} & f_{yy} & f_{yz}\\ f_{zx} & f_{zy} & f_{zz}\\ \end{bmatrix}, $$ which is real symmetric. Ther...
Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients, and $p$ be a large prime. I want to find the number of solutions to the congruence equation $$P(x)\equiv 0(\mathrm{mod}\ p^\alpha).$$ In my practice the degree of $P(x)$ is $4$. We can write $$ P(x) = \sum_{j=0}^4 a_j x^j.$$ I wonder that whether the number of ...
In a group of children, each child has a certain number of pencils from 1 to n. If the number of children who have i or more pencils is $2^{n-i}$, for i=1,2,3....,n and the total number of pencils is 511, find the maximum number of pencils with any child. ---------- **My attempt:-** Number of children with ...
