Let $X,Y$ be the topological spaces and $f:\ X\to Y$. Then $f$ is continuous of $X$ if and only if preimage of any open set in $Y$ is also an open set in $X$. An open map $f:\ X\to Y$ is a map that takes any open set in $X$ to an open set in $Y$. In general topology, we are introduced with some famous results of th...
Is open map needed to be continuous?
Let $X$ and $Y$ be two continuous positive random varianbles, that are not independent. In addition, all of the stated expectations are bounded away from zero. We know that $ E(X)^{-1} \neq E(1/X)$ unless we look at trivial cases. Is there some way to simplify $$ E\left\{ \frac{1}{E \left(Y|X \right)} \right\...
First time posting here so please forgive any lack of adherence to best practices. sin(x) is a transcendental function. However most common values for the angle x will yield an algebraic number result. In particular, sin(q) (in degrees) or sin(qπ) (in radians) will always be algebraic. I can reverse-engineer a tr...

You're on the right track, but it's $|\sin x|$ that is scaled by a factor of $3$. The absolute value guarantees that the values are non-negative: $$ \begin{array}{rcrcl} -1 & \leq & \sin x \phantom{|} & \leq & 1 \\ \implies \qquad 0 & \leq & |\sin x| & \leq & 1 \\ \implies \qquad 0 & \leq & 3\,|\sin x| & \leq & 3 ...

Can an ODE system never reach its stable equilibrium in the long run?
I have the following coupled non-linear ODE system, which describes a biological system: $$ \begin{cases} \dfrac{dp}{dt} = -\gamma p f,\\ \\ \dfrac{df}{dt} = \gamma p f,\\ \\ \dfrac{dT}{dt} = \left( 1 - \dfrac{k}{T} \right) \left\{ b (1 - T) \dfrac{r^n}{f^n + r^n} - m \dfrac{f^n}{f^n + r^n} \right\}, \end{cas...
In the book titled *Classical Theory of Fields*, by famous Physicist Landau, writes, From $\nabla^2\phi(x,y,z)=0$, > ...it follows, in particular, that the potential $\phi$ of the electric field can nowhere have a maximum or a minimum. For in order that $\phi$ have an extreme value, it would be necessary that the f...
I am reading an article in which they state the following fact: If $a,b,x>0$, then $x\leq a\sqrt{x}+b$ implies that $x\leq a^2+b$. I think the proof of this should be pretty trivial, but I cannot figure it out. I have tried squaring both sides of the first inequality and then using the quadratic formula, but it d...
How do you find the intersection of two vector lines in 3D space where the point of intersection is the starting point of one line and is unknown?
If $(A, \mathfrak{m}) \hookrightarrow (B, \mathfrak{n})$ is a local injection of Noetherian local domains, do we necessarily have $\dim B \geq \dim A$?
Consider the series $\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}x_k$, where $x_k>0$ for all $k\geq 0$. If $\displaystyle\lim_{k\to\infty}\frac{x_{k+1}}{x_k}=1^+$, i.e. the ratio of consecutive terms converges to 1 from above, can the series converge? Intuitively I think this shouldn't be the case, but judging from the way the pro...
$\lim_{k\to\infty}\frac{x_{k+1}}{x_k}=1^+ and $\sum_k x_k$ converges?
Let $(R, m_R, \kappa_R) \subset (B, m_B, \kappa_B)$ be an extension of discrete valuation rings whose corresponding extension of fields of fractions $K :=\text{Frac}(R) \subset \text{Frac}(B) =: L$ is finite of degree $n:=[L:K]$. It is well known that in general we have only the inequality $[L:K] \ge e_{B/R} \cdot [\k...
If we have a conic with equation: $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$ or S =0, and a point $P(x_1, y_1)$. Then the equation of the chord with P as its midpoint is given by T = $S_1$. $S_1$ is obtained by plugging point P in S. ($S_1$ = $ax_1^2 + 2hx_1y_1 + by_1^2 + 2gx_1 + 2fy_1 + c = 0$) >The 'T' form...
In the current Wikipedia entry for covers, it says that >if ${\displaystyle C=\lbrace U_{\alpha }:\alpha \in A\rbrace }$ is an indexed family of subsets ${\displaystyle U_{\alpha }\subset X}$ (indexed by the set ${\displaystyle A}$), then ${\displaystyle C}$ is a cover of ${\displaystyle X}$ if ${\displaystyle \bigcu...
