First I will say that the exact same question has been uploaded to the site already few years ago but it seems no final answer were given there. Let $$X = \{a,b,c\}, \quad Y = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}.$$ I need to count how many injective functions $f: X\to Y$ there are such that $$f(a)\ne 1,2,\quad f(b)\ne 2 ,\quad f...
In the framework of optimal control we have introduced in class the HJB equation to solve optimal control problem of the form $$ \inf_{u\in\mathcal{U}}\left[\int_{0}^{T}L(t,x_u(t),u(t))dt + h(x_u(T));\quad x’(t)=f(t,x(t),u(t)), x(0)=x_0\right] $$ Where $x(t)\in\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $u(t)$ is a control, $L$ a cost f...

I have a question regarding boundary conditions. In my problem I’m given a system of partial differential equations, and some boundary conditions.

I think the short answer to the question > *Can it really be that the same abstract polytope can have such > qualitatively different realisations?* Is "yes". Even a square (as an abstract graph) has some qualitatively quite different embeddings in the plane. Many more in space.
It is clear that it is true that f(x,y)-f(x',y)=g(x,x'), but is the function g necessarily a separable additive function? Thank you!

Let's say $f(x)\ge -M$ for some $M>0$ for all $x$. Since $f$ is monotone, WLOG assume it is strictly increasing. This means $x\to-\infty$, $f(x)\to-M$. What can you say about $f(x)-f(y)$ under this asymptotic behaviour?

It's not a typo. What is a "tuple"? Normally we think of a "tuple" with index set $I$ as a function with domain $I$. So, viewed as a set of ordered pairs, a tuple $(x_i)_{i\in I}$ would be the set $$\{ (i,x_i)\mid i\in I\}.$$ For index sets that are of the form $I=\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\}$, we often denote this as $(a_...

Answer: \begin{align*} s^2Y(s) -sy(0) - y'(0) + 6 ( sY(s) - y(0)) + Y(s) &=\dfrac{16}{s} \\ s^2Y(s) - 10 + 6 ( sY(s) ) + Y(s)...

How to increase a grid using this equation on desmos?
I am trying to solve the following ODE $$\begin{aligned} & y^{\prime \prime}+2 y^{\prime}+y=0 \\ & y(0)=2 \quad y^{\prime}(0)=-1 \\ & 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 1 \end{aligned}$$ Using central FD, I can write $$\frac{y_{i+1}-2 y_i+y_{i-1}}{h^2}+2 \frac{y_{i+1}-y_{i-1}}{2 h}+y_i=0$$ which I have simplied to $$(1+h) y_{i+1...

Find $F'(x)$ where $F(x) = \int_1^{3x} y^{-1}e^{xy} dy$. I just took the derivative with respect to x as: $F'(x) = \int_1^{3x}e^{xy} \,dy$ which should be equal to $e^{3x^{2}} -e^x\over x$. However my textbook made the calculation as: $F'(x) = 3x^{-1} e^{3x^{2}} 3+\int_1^{3x}e^{xy} \,dy$ which equals to $2e...
The Supplement for《Measure, Integration & Real Analysis》by Sheldon Axler is in the following page: https://measure.axler.net/SupplementMIRA.pdf Exercise 34 on p43 of the Supplement is the following: Prove that if $F_1$ is a closed subset of $R^n$ and $F_2$ is a closed bounded subset of $R^n$, then $F_1 + F_2$...
Question about the sum of a closed and a closed bounded subsets of $R^n$?
Why $\min (s,t) =\int_0^1(t-u)_{+}^0(s-u)_{+}^0 du$? Background of the question is: An elementary illustration of the integral representation theorem arises from the kernel $$ \begin{aligned} K(s, t) & =\min (s, t) \\ & =\int_0^1(t-u)_{+}^0(s-u)_{+}^0 d u \end{aligned} $$ defined on $[0,1] \times[0,1]...
Why $\min (s, t) =\int_0^1(t-u)_{+}^0(s-u)_{+}^0 d u$?
Below i am trying to make the asked points clear, computations do not stay in focus. First of all a picture: [![mse 43881764][1]][1] The problem starts somehow with the middle, making the least number of words in a random language count for exposing the problem. This is not the way we think, and not the way we st...
