Q: Divergence of a sequence

Blue2001I want to show that the sequence $x_n=\left(\frac{5k^2}{k+1}\right)^k\cdot\frac{1}{5(k+1)}$ diverges to $\infty$. I struggle to show this formally, I know that $x^k$ for $x>1$ will "win" against $\frac{1}{5(k+1)}$ but I don't know how to show this formally. Thanks in advance!

Q: Upper bound for $f(x) := e^{-\delta x^2 }\frac{\sinh\left(\sqrt{\delta^2 x^4 -x^2}\right)}{\sqrt{\delta^2 x^4 -x^2}}$

A. PILet $\delta >0$ and consider $j\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $\delta 2^j >\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}.$ I am looking for an upper bound of $$f(x) := e^{-\delta x^2 }\frac{\sinh\left(\sqrt{\delta^2 x^4 -x^2}\right)}{\sqrt{\delta^2 x^4 -x^2}}$$ on the interval $\left[2^{j-1}, 2^{j+1}\right]$ of the form $$f(x)...

Q: Question About Function Integrability - Proposition 2.3.10 from Measury Theory by Donald Cohn

BeerusI am self-studying measure theory using Measure Theory by Donald Cohn. The book makes the following definition: Definition$\quad$ Suppose that $f:X\to[-\infty,+\infty]$ is $\mathscr{A}$-measurable and that $A\in\mathscr{A}$. Then $f$ is integrable over $A$ if the function $f\chi_A$ is integrable...

Q: Difficulty Understanding Proof by Induction

konofosoI am an engineering student and am trying to prove the following combinatorics identity in math: $$\sum_{{m=k}}^{N} C(m,k) = C(N+1, K+1)$$ It was suggested to me to use Proof By Induction so I tried to do this problem. Step 1: Show this identity is true for a specific choice of $N=K$ LHS: $$\s...

Q: The integral of the absolute value of the Gaussian curvature of a compact surface

vegetandyI want to prove the following theorem: Let $S$ be a compact surface, and $N:S\rightarrow \Bbb{S}^2$ the Gauss map, then we have $$ \int_{S} |K| \,dA = \int_{\Bbb{S}^2} \#N^{-1} \,dA $$ where $K$ is the Gaussian curvature of the surface $S$, and $\#N^{-1}$ is the number of the preimages of the Ga...

Q: How can five sticks with coinciding ends be arranged in space such that they are at their maximum angles to each other?

Harsh ChaudhariSo the origin of my question is from a model known as VSEPR which helps you predict the shapes of molecules. According to this model, the bonds (or electron groups) arrange themselves in space in such a way that they are at maximum angles to their adjacents and therefore electrons experiencing mi...

Q: Stochastic Processes with Dynamically Changing Parameters

stats_noobThis is a question I have had for many years and have always wondered about it. In my home country, French Fries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_fries) are a very tasty snack. However, we don't always have access to deep fryers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_fryer) and end up cooking F...

Q: A metrizable space is realcompact iff it has non-measurable cardinality?

JakobianA space is realcompact if its a closed subspace of an arbitrary product of real lines, with product topology. A cardinal $\kappa$ is called measurable if there exists a (countably additive) $\{0, 1\}$-valued measure $\mu:\kappa\to \{0, 1\}$ with $\mu(\kappa) = 1$ and $\mu(\{x\}) = 0$ for $x\in \k...

Q: Definitions straight line

PermQiIn wikipedia, the notion of straight line is described as a basic notion, a primitive that is not defined. I wonder if there're any formal definition for a straight line in any specificular context so far, for instance in $\mathbb R^n$, in differential geometry .. ? Thanks.

Q: Show that $ \int_{-\pi}^\pi |\lim_{m\to\infty}\lim_{d\to \infty} \sqrt{d}\cos(m!x)^{2d}|dx=0 $.

HermiLet $((-\pi,\pi], \mathcal{B}((-\pi,\pi]), m)$ be a measure space with Lebesgue measure $m$. Show that $$ \int_{-\pi}^\pi |\lim_{m\to\infty}\lim_{d\to \infty} \sqrt{d}\cos(m!x)^{2d}|dx=0 $$ and $$ \lim_{m\to\infty}\lim_{d\to \infty}\int_{-\pi}^\pi | \sqrt{d}\cos(m!x)^{2d}|dx=1/\sqrt{\pi} $$ It s...

Q: Sum of critical graphs is critical

mNuggetLet $G_1$ and $G_2$ be $k_1$ and $k_2$ critical respectively. That is $\chi(G_1) = k_1$ and $\chi(G_2) = k_2$ and the removal of any vertex or edge reduces the chromatic number. I am trying to prove that the sum $G = G_1+G_2$ is $(k_1+k_2)$ critical. $G$ is the graph obtained by connecting every ...

Q: Bounding a sequence related to minimizers of strictly convex quadratic functions

SamSuppose that $H\succ 0$ and we have a sequence $\{x_j\}_{j\ge 1}$ such that they are the unique solution of the following problems: $ x_{j+1}= Argmin_{x\in \mathbb R^n}(x-x_{j-1})^T\nabla f(x_{j-1})+\frac{1}{2}(x-x_{j-1})^TH(x-x_{j-1})+\frac{1}{2}\rho_j\|x-y_j\|_2^2 $. Note that $\rho_j \to \inft...

Q: The 50 game between two players, selecting numbers between 1 and 10 inclusive + variations

user1013124Let's play a game with two players, with player 1 going first. The players take turns selecting a number between 1 and 10 inclusive. The person who says the number that makes the sum reach or exceed 50 wins. Who wins? Let's go backwards in increments of 11 from 50, we have 50, 39, 28, 17, 6. So p...

Prove that there exist positive integers $a$ such that $(P(a))^2$ and $P(a)$ have different units digits when written in the d...
