I've been reading through Farb and Margalit's book on the action of the mapping class group on Teichmuller space to get a moduli space. This is a very topological/geometric construction, looking at hyperbolic surfaces and homeomorphisms. Specifically, $T(S)=(X,h)/\sim$ for $S$ closed orientable of genus $g\geq 2$, $X$ ...
Hunter mentiones in his [notes][1] (p.44) that the function $f(x) := x^{-1}\sin(x^{-1})+\cos(x^{-1})$ lacks a defined Lebesgue integral, which must because both $f^+$ and $f^-$ have infinite integrals. Could someone provide some help as to how to show that $$\int f^+$$ is indeed infinite? [1]: https://www.math...
Let $f(x) = x^{-1}\sin(x^{-1})+\cos(x^{-1})$. How can one prove that $\int f^+ = \infty$?
Let $f(s) = \mathcal{L} \{ x(t) \}(s).$ Then $$\mathcal{L}\{tx^{(3)}(t)\}(s)=-1\frac{d}{dx}\mathcal{L}\{x^{(3)}(t)\}(s)=-\frac{d}{ds}[s^2f(s)]=-[2sf(s)+s^2f'(s)]$$ using the identities $$ f^{\prime}(t) \quad s F(s)-f(0) $$ and $$ t^n f(t), \quad n=1,2,3, \ldots \quad(-1)^n F^{(n)}(s). $$ Should ...

Let $S:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}^+$ satisfy $$S(n)=S(A^n\%n)+S(B^n\%n)$$ $$S(0)=1$$ ($\%$ denotes modulo if it wasn't clear) My question is, is this function always surjective for all values of $A,B≥2$ with $A≠B$?
Is this recursive function always surjective?

If we know our strategy is to go from $\frac {x+1}{x-1} < \frac 1x$ to multiply both sides by $x$ and both sides by $x-1$ to get $(x+1)x=x^2 +x ??? x-1$ and then subtract $x$ from both sides to get $x^2 ??? -1$, then we know the key points we have to consider is when $x-1$ and $x$ change signs and how often the $<$...
[Green's theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green%27s_theorem) says that: $$ \int_C L \ dx + \int_C M \ dy = \iint_D \frac{\partial M}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial L}{\partial y} \ dx \ dy $$ If the M and N statisfy $\frac{\partial M}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial L}{\partial y} = 1$, then the formula can be use...

Let $B_n$ denote the mean of $n$ random samples **with** replacement. Let $\mu$ denote the m...

It [is well-known](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotent_matrix#Trace) and [can easily be proven](https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2345818/480910) that if a matrix $A$ is idempotent, then its trace equals its rank: $$ A^2 = A \Rightarrow \mathrm{tr}(A) = \mathrm{rk}(A) $$ Does the inverse also hold? If yes, ...
If the trace of a matrix equals its rank, is it idempotent?

I have to write a function which solves the diophantine equation $p(s)x^2 = q(s)$ (in $x$) where $p,q$ are integers polynomials in $s.$ This is doable since $p(s) \mid q(s)$ has only finite solutions (in my context at least). I also know $\deg q=4, \deg p = 2.$ For example $(45s^2 + 264s + 376)^2=x^2(21s^2 + 120s ...

I arrived at the answer CP = 12/5 units. Since ∆APB — ∆DPC. So there ratio is BP/CP = AB/DC, 2/CP = 5/6, 1/CP = 5/12, CP = 12/5. Is this correct way to solve?

I asked a question recently on here and got very insightful answers. Now that I understand the proof of the variational method to obtain the EL equation, I have a new question.

I am a beginner of functional analysis. I have a simple question when I study this subject. Let $L(X)$ denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on Banach space $X$, $T\in X$ is invertible, then $||T^{-1}||=||T||^{-1}$? Is this result correct?
