The Dirichlet Kernel on the real numbers is: $\mathcal{D}_\mathbb{R}(x) = \frac{sin(2 \pi R x)}{\pi x}$. Let $D^*_N(x) = \sum_{|n| \leq N - 1} e^{2 \pi i nx} + \frac{1}{2}(e^{-2 \pi iNx} + e^{2 \pi iNx})$ denote the Dirichlet kernel for functions of period 1. Show that $\sum_{n = -\infty}^{\inf...
Let $a_1,a_2,a_3$ be a non constant arithmetic Progression of integers with common difference $p$ and $b_1,b_2,b_3$ be a geometric Progression with common ratio $r$. Consider $3$ polynomials $P_1(x)=x^2+a_1x+b_1, P_2(x)=x^2+a_2x+b_2,P_3(x)=x^2+a_3x+b_3$. Suppose there exist integers $m$ and $n$ s...
Why the winding number in the image is different for these different points? Should not it be +3 for all? I really don't understand this... http://s8.postimg.org/sda6gvdh1/windingnumberclosedarch.png
I have a transportation problem with complication. Essense of complication -- shipping is carried out with a trucks. Each truck has limited capacity. Each truck has the same capacity. Let's call capacity of eack truck -- K. How to reduce this problem to the linear programming problem?
Please refer this link for some background material http://www.docdroid.net/161p6/curve.pdf.html So i propose a statement to a online tutor, the answer at the below link is the proof of the statement? I couldn't get it. http://postimg.org/image/j26erz5k3/
I encountered the following limit while doing calculation $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\text{Ei(x)}}{e^x}=0$$ which is equivalent to $$\lim_{x \to \infty }e^{-x}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^n}{n·n!}=0$$ and $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\int_0^\infty \frac{e^{-t}}{t-x}dt=0$$ where the integral is undestood as the...
If a set A is open, and you take the Minkowski sum with any other set B (open or closed), will A+B then be open? In my head it makes sense if it is open but I can't prove it on paper.
A rope is wrapped $M$ whole turns round a cylindrical post, the two ends of the rope going in opposite directions. The coefficient of friction between rope and post is $0.25$. It is desired that by pulling with a force of $1N$ on one end of the rope, I can prevent the rope from moving away from m...
I was reviewing this question and got motivated to solve this general problem: Find all functions $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ such that for all real numbers $x$ and $y$, $$f(x+y)-f(x)-f(y)=\alpha(f(xy)-f(x)f(y))\tag0$$ where $\alpha$ is a nonzero real constant. I found out that it can be ...
The symmetric difference can be expressed as the union of the two sets, minus their intersection- how to prove that ?
I encountered a problem: Every finite integral domain is isomorphic to $ \mathbb{ Z }_{p} $. I know that finite integral domain is isomorphic to a field, but I have no idea on how to construct a homomorphism to $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ (or maybe it is wrong, but I haven come up with a conterexample).
I just voted to close a question which was equivalent to Goldbach's conjecture. When I had to give the reason, I didn't really know what to pick. Off-topic? It is definitely a research question, so... Duplicate? Well, hopefully not, at least not exactly. When it was closed some hours later, I fou...
If two sets (A,B) in R^n are closed. Will A+B then be closed or open? In my head it makes sense if it is closed but I can't prove it on paper.
I was wondering about how to solve a simple linear Fokker-Planck equation using space-time laplace transform on space interval $(0 \ \infty)$. $\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}= k_1 \frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x} + k_2 \frac{\partial^2 f(x,t)}{\partial x^2}$. The usual method is to do lap...
I am in the process of learning Category Theory with the purpose of being able to create a game that will help explain it to others in a simple way. I have read many texts and articles about it. While I have learnt some of the definitions, I have found it hard to be able to create concrete exampl...

This problem has been extreme confusing for me since 2 weeks ago. I've tried many times with Maxima but still i got no results. Following is the equation system: equations with related functions. To be computed are b1[n], b2[n], b3[n], a4[k] and a5[k]; a3[k] is already obtained before. R1,R2,R...
Prove that a finite group G is abelian if G has an automorphism $\sigma$ such that $\sigma(g) = g \iff g = 1$ and $\sigma^{2}(x)=x$ for all $x \in G$. Show that every element of G can be written in the form $x^{-1}\sigma(x)$ and apply $\sigma$ to such an expression.
Are software comparisons considered on-topic here? I mean Ubuntu software of course, and probably software which is specific to it or at least Linux but runs on Ubuntu. And how broad is considered 'too broad' in this case? I mean, can you just ask what is the difference and why you would use one ...
I would like to calculate the following: There are 3 points in space of which the coordinates are known: C(a,b,c) M(d,e,f) A(g,h,i) Each point is a starting point of a line with a certain length. These lengths are known: |CB|=l1 |MB|=l2 |AB|=l3 There exist 2 possible points (B1 and B2) ...
I need to write a regular expertion for the language of all the binary words that not contains continuum of more then $3$ zeros, for example $0011110100\in L,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,11000001100\notin L $ My try: $[(0+1)^*(00+1^*)^*(000+1^*)]^*$ My attempt is correct?
Prove that $N_G(H)=\{g \in G| gHg^{-1}=H\}$ is the largest subgroup of $G$ such that $H \unlhd N_G(H)$. I have an idea of the proof that, if we assume $S \leq G$ with $H \unlhd S$ then $$\forall s \in S, \ sHs^{-1}=H$$ We know that for $S$ to be the largest subgroup of $G$ with this propert...
Does it make sense to have a joint pdf or joint cdf of an infinite collection of random variables? was closed for being unclear. Ummmmm, essentially I was asking if we can extend the notion of joint pdf or joint cdf to an infinite collection of random variables. What is wrong w/ my question, and...

I'm stuck at the ending part of a math exercise on congruences. I must solve the following system of congruences $S$: $x \equiv 2\ (3)$ $x \equiv 3\ (5)$ I was first asked to give the remainders of the division of $3y +2$ by 5, with knowing the remainders of the division of $y$ by 5. Here's ...
A,B squares exp(t(A+B))=exp(tA)+$\int_0^t exp((t-s)A)*B*exp(s(A+B))*ds$ I found it from problem sets. It seems to difine a new kind of matrix operation. I can check its truth when A,B are scalars (n=1), but fail to prove it for general cases. The matrices do not commute and I cannot think of ...
What is exactly semaphore in java?Can someone explain it in simple words by citing a short example.
for arbitrary dimension, what are the convex polytopes such that all vertices share a facet of some dimension, which is not the top facet (the entire polytope), with all other vertices? One example is simplexes of any dimension, as all vertices share an edge with all other vertices. Are there oth...
For any i where 2 <= i <= n, use the product rule to determine how many permutations of the set {1,2,…,n} are there such that i is the leftmost value in an increasing subsequence.
"In a class, 40% of students want to study physics, while less than 33 1/3% of them want to study Chinese History. If the number of students who want to study physics is 3 more than that of students who want to study Chinese History, at most how many students are there in the class?" Don't know...
$$f\left ( z \right )=\frac{e^{az}}{1+e^{z}} ,\left ( a\in\left ( 0,1 \right ) \right )$$ The point $z=i\pi$ is one of the nonremovable singularities of this function.

The old Greek did not consider 1 a number. Nevertheless Euclid called 6 = 1+2+3 a perfect number. How could he use 1 which was not a number?
to expand $1/p$, I tried first letting $1/p = a+b*p+c*p^2+d*p^3+...$ and it is $1=a*p+b*p^2+...$ but I guess there's no way to make the equality hold. it's somewhat similar to dividing by 0. is it possible? I'm new to p-adic theory, everything looks just confusing.
I have no idea where to start or what kind of concept I should use for the following problem: Suppose $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$. Show for almost all $x \in \mathbb{R} $ we have $$\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{1}{h} \int_0^h |f(x+h)-f(x)| dt = 0$$ Could someone help me with this problem? Thanks!
4. Consider the following simplified version of a game of poker. There are two players and three cards in a deck: Jack, Queen and King of spades. Player 1 always gets a Queen. Player 2 gets a Jack with probability 0.5 or a King with probability 0.5. In the first round, player 2 can either Raise o...
If f ∈ C[a,b] is not a polynomial, then show that for any sequence of polynomials {p_n} that converges to f uniformly, one must have that m_n = degree of p_n → ∞.
Could someone please verify the following proof for this statement: If $E$ is a finite dimensional subspace of a normed space $X$, then $E$ is a closed subspace. Proof: If $E$ is a finite dimensional subspace of normed space $X$, then $E$ is complete. Let $\{x_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a Cau...
John Harsayni showed that a mixed strategy equilibrium of a perfect information game can be thought of as an approximation to an equilibrium (i.e. Bayesian NE) of a game where each player has a slight amount of incomplete information about the exact preferences of the other players.

Let $f$ be locally integrable and positive on [0,$+\infty$) such that $L \;:= \;lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \dfrac{-ln f(x)}{ln x}\;$ exists in $\bar{\mathbb{R}}$. Prove that $\int^\infty_0 f$ converges if $L > 1$ and diverges if $L < 1$. The idea seems close to the Root Test for Integrals, but I...
There is a famous low pass filter $[1,2,1]$ in signal processing which can be factored in the sense of a convolution product : $[1,1] * [1,1]$. Today when I was bored, I investigated some complex valued filters and came to the conclusion that for $k = 3$ and $k = 5$ and $z_0 = e^{2\pi i/k}$, i.e....
