I'm studying general topology and a question has come to my mind. Given a sequence x (i.e. map from the set N of natural numbers) in a topological space and given a point p of the latter, we say that *p is a special point for x* if the x-preimage of every neighbourhood of p is cofinal in the canonical order of N (th...

I have this series $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac{x+n}{|x+n|^3}$$ Which seemed quite similar to that of (csc(x))^2: $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac{1}{(x+n)^2}$$ The only difference is the change of sign throughout the sum, does this series also converge to some function?
How can I get this estimation?
Pauli matrices satisfy $$ \sigma_i \sigma^{\dagger}_j = \delta_{ij} \sigma_0 + \epsilon_{ijk}\sigma_k\,. $$ Can one construct a set of three complex-valued $2\times 2$ matrices $a_i$, $i=1,2,3$, such that $$ a_i a^{\dagger}_j = \delta_{ij} \sigma_0 - \epsilon_{ijk}\sigma_k\,? $$ If not, is it possible for matri...

I'm really confused and I can't get the concept. How is $14$ in base $8 = 16$? And how does $8$ in base $8 = 10$? In case of $14$ isn't $1\times8 + 4\times1 = 12$? Shouldn't any number in base $8$ be lower than a number in base $10$?
For instance, can a number like $0.1111111\cdots$ in base $3$ be represented as $0.23515613\cdots$ (non-repeating) in base $8$? I imagine the answer would be a resounding NO but it would be interesting to see a proof of why.

The Batista-Costa surface is a triply periodic minimal surface. Three photos of part of the same surface are below: [![This is the Batista-Costa surface with many units][1]][1] [![This is the unit surface of the Batista-Costa surface.][2]][2] [![This highlights the unit patches of the Batista-Costa surface.][3]][3...
Let $K \subseteq X$ be a compact convex subset of a locally convex space $X$. Let $k \in K$ be an extreme point. **Question 1:** Does there exist a supporting hyperplane of $X$ containing $k$? I _think_ the answer is “yes” via some Hahn-Banach argument, although I’m a little confused about this at the moment. But...
Is every extreme point in a compact convex set contained in a defining supporting hyperplane?
It's called ... the domain. *Every* element of the domain is mapped and you *always* use every single element. You are not allowed to *ever* have an element unused. Worth noting if you have a function such as $\frac 1{x-5}$ the domain is *NOT* $\mathbb R$. The domain is $(-\infty, 5)\cup (5, \infty)$ (which ...
Is there a name for the following partial differential equation? $$(\nabla V) \cdot (\nabla V) = c$$ Is it known what type of scalar fields $V$ satisfy this? In two dimensions wolfram claims the solution is just $f(x,y) = c_1 x + c_x y.$ Can this be shown for arbitrairly higher dimensions? Intuitively, for $A= \n...
I am interested in counting the number of times a given part (some integer) occurs in the weak compositions (i.e. 0 is admitted as a summand) of some restricted size and some restricted maximum summand. E.G., in the compositions of 10 of length 4 with a maximum of 5 allowed for summands, how many times does some in...
A disjoint union of open balls is of course disconnected. [Here](https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/canadian-mathematical-bulletin/article/spaces-which-cannot-be-written-as-a-countable-disjoint-union-of-closed-subsets/D24FAD263DF49239740F1A548826CA1B) it is proved that a locally compact, connected, Hausdorff space...
In a town N, every person is either a truth-teller, who always tells the truth, or a liar, who always lies. Every person in town N took part in a survey. "Is winter your favorite season?" was answered "yes" by 40% of respondents. A similar question about spring had 30% of affirmative answers, about summer had 50%, and ...

**TL/DR: Skip to the end for examples!** Given that we are allowed $N>0$ turns total (in our case $N=100$), we want to choose "place" for $(N-n)$ turns, followed by choosing "take" for the remaining $n$ turns. (We should prove that, whenever we choose "take" on $n$ turns, it is best if those $n$ turns are at the en...
In the context of proving the [Hoeffding Lemma ][1] I came across a slightly weaker statement in the form of an exercise: "If $X$ is a real valued random variable and $|X| \leq 1$ a.s. then there exists a random variable $Y$ with values in $\{ -1, +1 \}$ such that \begin{equation} E[Y|X] = X \qquad a.s. \end{e...
This came up on my homework and I don't understand how to calculate $|u+2w|$. How do I get from $|u+w|$ to $|u+2w|$? I'm guessing that I have to square $|u+w|$ and then add $|u|$ and $|w|$ in a way that which would have a square root of $|u+2w|$ but I don't know how to get there.
