I have seen two motivations of decomposing an $L^2(\mathbb{T}^n)$ function into a Fourier series with basis functions $e^{2\pi inx}$ with $n$ being integers. The first one is the intuitive frequency representation of a signal; the second one is that the trigonometrical functions are eigenfunctions of the Laplacian, so ...
*Hexagons* are made of 6 embedded rhombuses. The Rhombic dodecahedron Has twice the number of rhombuses as the hexagon has yet those rhombuses are its exterior boundary. The exterior boundary of a hexagon is a flat line. So, might there be an expansion sequence for these hidden-rhombus-like geometries and their re...
Am I onto something regarding hidden rhombus-like structures hiding within N-dimensional honeycombs?
How do I prove this using inequalities? I know that since $4x^2 +9$ is $\Omega (x^2)$ it follows that $4x^2 +9$ is $\Omega (x log x)$ since Big Omega is a lower bound. But how do I prove it using inequalities and choose a $n_0$ and c? I don't really know how to get from $4x^2 +9$ to $\Omega (x^2)$, or $\Omega (x log x)...
Bruce and Walls in their paper *On the classification of cubic surfaces* state at the end the "final observation" that a number of distinct lines on cubic surface with $k$ isolated du Val singularities is given by formula $$ \binom{8-c}{2} + k - 1 $$ where $c$ is the codimension of space parameterising surfaces of...

Why $\min (s,t) =\int_0^1(t-u)_{+}^0(s-u)_{+}^0 du$?

>"But how do we know that any model of ZFC exists?" We don't. The usual way out is to assume that such a base model exists, and refer to it as "the intended model/interpretation". There are many *questions* here and at MO about this; you could consult for example this MO question: [Looking for a source for intende...
Determine the general term of the sequence $(a_n)_{n\ge1}$, strictly decreasing, of strictly positive numbers, which satisfies the properties: a) $na_n \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$ for every $n \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$. b) $\sum_{k=1}^{n} (-1)^{k-1} a_k \binom{n}{k} = \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_k$. I tried ta...
In the book, a first course in functional analysis by D.Somasundaram, it is mentioned that sigma(x) = {z:|z|≤||x||} But the proof is given only for one side inclusion..that is., The spectrum of an element x in a Complex Banach Algebra is a subset of the closed disk with centre 0 and radius ||x||. Is the reverse i...
Let $A,B \subset \Bbb{R}$ be Borel measurable with $m(A),m(B) \in (0,\infty)$, then prove $\chi_A \ast \chi_B$ is continuous. **Attempt:** Note $$f(x)=\chi_A \ast \chi_B (x)=\int \chi_A(x-y)\chi_B(y)dy.$$ As $C_c(\Bbb{R}) \subset L^1(\Bbb{R})$ is dense, there exists $g_n \in C_c(\Bbb{R}$) such that $$\...
Suppose $X_i$ is independently and identically distributed over $i$, and $E(|X_i|^d)$ with $d>0$ is not finite or undefined: - I am wondering whether $\sum_{i=1}^N |X_i|^d$ is of any asymptotic order. Take [Cauchy distribution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_distribution#Mean) as an example. If $d=1$, then $N^{...
