I have a graph with 2 vertices. They each have a directed weighed edge towards the other vertex. One of the weights is higher than the other.

Consider two positive semidefinite and symmetric matrices, namely $\bf{A}$ and $\bf{B}$. Denote $\Vert\cdot\Vert$ as the operator norm. If we have another positive semidefinite matrix $\bf{B}^*$ that satisfies $\Vert\bf{B}^*\Vert\geqslant\Vert\bf{B}\Vert$, can we get $$\Vert\bf{A}+\bf{B}\Vert\leqslant\Vert\bf{A}+\bf{B...

We show that if $\sigma(n)$ is exponential then the series tends towards $1/2$ but retains an oscillation about this value and does not completely converge.

We define a map $P:\mathbb{C}_\infty \to S^2$ by declaring $P(\infty) = (0,0,1)$, and $P(z) = \left(\frac{2x}{|z|^2+1}, \frac{2y}{|z|^2+1}, \frac{|z|^2-1}{|z|^2+1}\right)$ for $z \in \mathbb{C}$ which is the stereographic projection.

There may be a more elegant way of attacking this problem than the one that I will use. I considered inclusion-exclusion, but found it to be messy.

I have just started learning about Brownian motion $(B_t)_{t \geq 0}$. The book I'm following defines a filtration $(\mathcal F_t)\_{t \geq 0}$ by $\mathcal F_t := \sigma(B_r, 0 \leq r \leq t)$. I think it's fairly clear that this is in fact a filtration. What I'm confused about is that the author defines $\mathcal ...

> Prove that for every positive integer $n$, $\sum\limits_{d|n}d.\phi (d).\sigma \left(\dfrac{n}{d}\right)=\sum\limits_{d|n}d^2$. I can prove in the case of $n=p^a$, where $p$ is a prime. I'm stuck at the general case when $n=\prod\limits_{i=\overline{1,k}}p^{a_i}_i$.\ Can someone show me how to deal with this ca...
> Does this hold for $n\times n$ matrices? Of course not. The problem statement seems to insinuate that $A$ and $B$ may possibly not commute when one of them has a zero trace. So, suppose you can find an example in which both $A$ and $B$ have zero trace and $AB\ne BA$. Then $\pmatrix{1\\ &A}$ and $\pmatrix{1\\ &B}$ ...
>$b,c\in\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$ so $b,c$ has $10$ choices each This is where you went wrong. Consider a divisibility test for an integer by $9$, which is that the sum of its digits must itself be a multiple of $9$. Clearly it doesn't matter what $a$ is; there are $9$ of them in our template, and something added to ...
I need your help with the following exercise: The sphere $x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=4$ is made of certain material whose density is given by $\rho(x,y,z)=y^{2}+xy+2$. I need to find the extreme values of $\rho(x,y,z)$ using the Lagrange multiplier method. If $g(x,y,z) = x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}-4=0$, $\rho_{x}(x,y,z) = y$, $\rh...
It's probably a stupid question but if you have a function with variables x,y,z and a single output. Does the order of the partial derivatives in the gradient matter? As in, is the same (∂x,∂y,∂z) and(∂z,∂x,∂y)?
Does the order of the partial derivatives in a gradient vector matter?
I am currently exploring an intriguing topic related to quaternion-based wave functions and have encountered a mathematical challenge that I hope to get some insights on. The concept is detailed in an article on arXiv, which presents a two-component wave function represented as a quaternion: $$\psi(\boldsymbol{x},t)=a...
Suppose that $u$ is the solution to $\begin{cases} u_t -u_{xx} =2 , &0<x<1, t>0 \\ u(x,0)=0, & 0\le x \le 1 \\ u(0,t) = u(1,t)=0, &t\ge0 \end{cases}$ Show that $u(x,t)\le x(1-x), 0\le x \le 1$ While I am studying heat equation, I think it looks trivial because, say $k(x,t)=x(1-x)$, then $\begin{cas...
>where is $Q$ in that case? When you move $P$ to $T$, then $R$ moves to $R'$ where $\vec{RR'}=\vec{PT}$ implies $R'_x=R_x+T_x-P_x=-9.9$ and $R'_y=R_y+T_y-P_y=-233.5$. The equation of the circle whose center is $R'$ with radius $250$ is given by $$(x+9.9)^2+(y+233.5)^2=250^2$$ So, the slope of the tangent line...
