Q: Infinite Sum (Which is not a telescopic series)

Rishikesh$$\sum_{K=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^K}{(K+1)(2K+1)3^K}$$ I have no idea on how to tackle this problem.the series doesn't look like a telescopic series I tried splitting into partial reactions(without disturbing the 3^k But it's of no use I tried to multiply the whole series with 3 and then subtract th...

Q: Property of vector-valued measure

geodudeLet $B$ be a Banach space, let $(X,\mathcal{A})$ be a measurable space, and let $\mu:\mathcal{A}\to B$ be a vector-valued measure. In general, if $B$ doesn't have the Radon-Nikodym property, it is not true that we can express $\mu$ as $$ \mu(A) = \int_A f(x)\,m(dx) $$ for some (real-valued) measu...

Q: Separation problem in definite integral of piecewise function

Fuat RayMy question is about separation of $\displaystyle \int _0 ^2 f(x) dx$ defined by $f(x) = \left\{\begin{aligned} &x^2 ,\ x \in [0,1]\\ &x^4+4 ,\ x \in (1,2] \end{aligned} \right.$ Of course, we should write in the following way $\displaystyle \int _0 ^1 f(x) dx + \displaystyle \int _1 ^2 f(x) dx=\...

Q: The geometric realization of a simplicial set does not determine it

kindasortaI read in Gallauer's notes on infinity categories, in "Warning 1.9." without proof, that the geometric realization of a simplicial set does not determine it and wanted to make sure I understand why. A proof of this statement should somehow construct a pair of non-isomorphic simplicial sets having...

Q: Is every extension of by an Abelian Group isomorphic to a central extension?

mattematician Suppose $A$ is an abelian group and $$0\to A\to H\to G\to 0$$ is exact. Does it follow that that this SES is isomorphic to one of the form $$ 0\to A\to H'\to G\to 0$$ such that $A$ is contained in the center $Z(H')$ of $H'$? I ask for the following reason: According to this article, there's a bi...

Q: Finding the area of a quadrilateral in this picture

IcedTea This was from a past exam we were given. I am stuck, but here is what I have so far. To find the area of EFGH, we can find the individual coordinates of E,F,G,H so we can find the distance between each vertex and finally compute the area. According to hint, I will centre $B(0,0)$. Since $|AB| =2...

Q: Lefschetz fixed point theorem-type formula for a finite group acting on a Fredholm operator

user302934Let $D:X\to Y$ be a Fredholm operator, so that its index $\dim\ker (D)-\dim \text{coker}(D)$ is defined. We can view $D$ as a complex $\mathfrak{D}:0\to X\xrightarrow{D} Y\to 0$, and for a chain map $T:\mathfrak{D}\to \mathfrak{D}$, i.e. a commutative diagram $\require{AMScd}$ \begin{CD} X @>{D}>>...

Q: Central Limit Theorem for Array of Dependent Random Variables

AshokI am wondering if there is a central limit theorem for array of dependent random variables. Suppose we have array of random variables $\{X_{nm},n=1,2,\dots,m=1,2,\dots,r_n\}$ where $X_{nm}$ are identically distributed, within each array $X_{nm}$ are dependent but independent across arrays (i.e., ...

SabrebarLet $N^a$, $N^b$ be two jump process with stochastic intensity process $(\lambda^a_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$, $(\lambda^b_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ (the lambdas are $\mathcal{F}_t$ -adapted). Let $N$ defined by : $N_t := N^a_t + N^b_t$. Now define $\Delta N_t = N_t - N_{t-} \in \{0, 1\} a.s.$ if $N$ jumps ...

Q: An oriented rank 3 vector bundle over a 4-manifold with $p_1=0$ has finite structure group

blancketLet $E\to M$ be an oriented rank 3 real vector bundle over a smooth 4-manifold $M$ and suppose $p_1(E)=0$. Why does this imply that the structure group of $E\to M$ can be reduced to a finite group $G$? I merely know that two $SO(3)$-bundles over a 4-manifold are isomorphic if and only if they hav...

Q: Is there a way to make a series change signs every 2 terms?

GreyI am familiar with alternating series in the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^na_n$ where the first term is negative and $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1}a_n$ where the second term is negative. I know these series alternate with every other term being negative. My question is: does a way to make the ...

Q: Can a connected planar graph have 10 vertices and edges? is this possible?

GloCan a connected planar graph have 10 vertices and edges? is this possible? Using Euler’s formula, $V − E + F = 2$. $10 − 10 + F = 2$, Therefore $F = 2$. Do I also need to use this formula: $2E$ $\geq$ $3F$? or Do I use $E \leq 3v-6$? I'm a little lost if this type of graph is possible or not and ...

Q: Computing Lyapunov Exponents of an Example of Avila and Bochi

Q: Area of a Quater-Circle with hyperbolic elements

Q: What exactly is a radian?

I understand that $P$ is just the composition of these two maps, but I don't understand what these two maps ar...

Q: Visualization of Polynomials and Algebraic Numbers

Anas A. IbrahimI'm studying Field Extension Theory and Galois Theory, and unlike (for example) studying Linear Algebra, the concepts feel very much like manipulation of symbols, and I don't feel to have a very strong intuitive judge inside me to say when a theorem is true or not. Besides, I have to present this...

Q: Does a finite intersection (or union) generalise to an arbitrary one?

Asi CruzSay we have a collection $\Omega$ of sets, and a statement $P(s)$ which can be either true or false depending on the input set $s$. Say we take two arbitrary sets $a$ and $b$ in $\Omega$ and that for all $a,b\in\Omega$, $P(a) \land P(b) \implies P(a \cap b)$. Does this then imply that $\displayst...
