@TedShifrin it is sort of a totally different question, but the x was a dummy variable right, does it matter
It appeared in the derivative of $v$ and in defining the function $l$. Yes, it matters. If $x$ is $t$ and $v=dl/dt$ , it matters a whole lot.
02:43
$ l(x)g = l(x)\frac{dv}{dx} + v^2$ becomes $ l(t)g=l(t)\frac{dv}{dt} + v^2 $ with the clause that $ v=\frac{dl}{dt} $ , the question as you said does become totally different from the one I posted initially ,though. Sorry for that
Yes, it’s now second-order. Big difference.
03:03
Yeah, you're right
03:15
Well, once in a blue moon I am right:)

@Koro Any space which is compact but not sequentially compact will do. The usual examples are $[0,1]^{[0,1]}$ and $\beta\Bbb N$
05:44
Thanks a lot @AlessandroCodenotti. $\beta N$ is Stone Czech compactification of N?
The first one is comp. by Tychonoff 's.
Stone-Čech, but yes
06:05
@user193319 relatively late to this party, but i'm not sure this needs the invariance condition. if you take e.g. any positive f then 0 <= f.(1 - 1_e) <= ||f||.(1 - 1_e) and positivity of m implies 0 <= m(f.(1 - 1_e)) <= ||f|| (m(1) - m(1_e)), and if m(1_e) = m(1) = 1, this implies that m(f.(1-1_e)) = 0, but the LHS of this last is also m(f.1) - m(f.1_e) = m(f) - m(f(e) 1_e) = m(f) - f(e) m(1_e) = m(f) - f(e).
sorry for misspelling. Čech is the correct one.
could it be that the inner invariance somehow becomes interesting if you're looking for means other than evaluation at the identity?
06:21
i'm not sure i'm using anything too groupy, in fact, just the commutativity of the cstar algebra sturcture and i guess this distinguished element (1_e) that multiplies on algebra elements to give scalar multiples of itself back. which maybe could be derived from any atom in the measure space playing the role that G does here.
i always get nervous when there's lotsa structure that's not being used, but maybe that's why you encountered difficulty.

Q: Every manifold admits a vector field with only finitely many zeros

user15464Let $M$ be a smooth manifold. I am trying to prove that $M$ admits a vector field with only finitely many zeros. This will follow if we can find a function $f : M\rightarrow \mathbb R$ such that $df$ has only finitely many zeros, but I cannot find such a function with this property either. My i...

Hmm

Q: Calculate Helmert 2D parameters

RaffalloI have many images, with many points selected on them (measured) with real-world coordinates (2D). Measured points are matched between images (tie points). Now, I have to estimate Helmert 2D parameters in a few iterations using set of points matched together. Previously I calculated average coord...

Does anyone know something about it?
For now fo each detected object I'm calculating the average position, and after that, for each image, I'm calculating Helmert parameters separately, where I'm trying to transform image points to the calculated average positions.
I'm pretty sure that should be a better method which will be calculating all parameters in once and the final objects positions would be more accure

set of irrationals is not locally compact.
set of rationals is also not locally compact.
Makes sense, all compact sets of Q are nowhere dense and so it is not locally compact.
*Subsets
mathworld.wolfram.com/ConvergentSequence.html claims that "Every bounded monotonic sequence converges". But isn't this not true, for example: the sequence 2,4,6,8,10..., is boundless. So is it wrong to say "Every"?
I mean, the limit of the sequence is infinity...
@Ajay I'm not sure how it proves the statement. This may be part of some theorem that I don't know yet.
The sequence statement is true or false depending upon the definitions you're taking. I suppose that in the link you shared, they are taking the sequence to be in $\mathbb R$ or in $\mathbb C$ so 'the sequence converges' means that there is some r in R or in C, which is a limit of the sequence.
@Ajay this is usually referred to as a divergent sequence.

A: If a product space is locally compact, then each space is locally compact and all but a finite number of factors are compact

Henno BrandsmaThe proof is not correct as it stands, because you don't know beforehand that the compact neighbourhood of $x = (x_i)$ is of the form $\prod_i N_{x_i}$. So you do know that there exists a compact set $C \subseteq \prod_i X_i$ such that $(x_i)$ is in the interior of $C$ (i.e. $C$ is a neighbourho...

Can anyone please explain to me that in this answer why $X_i$ for i in F is locally compact?
14:43
@Koro Yea I just realised too.
:P
:)
Have you read Munkres yet?
I have except some parts.
Read these theorems
I think it may help
Wait just to be clear, the statement you want to prove is:
set of rationals is also not locally compact.
I don't want to end up wasting ur time
15:05
Oh I have understood the answer to my question.
@Ajay fortunately, I have studied these theorems :).
but not sure how you want to use the theorems in the link to prove that Q is not locally compact.
@Koro This is because if one takes $x_i\in X_i$, then $x_i\in \pi_i(O)\subset \color{blue}{\pi_i(C)}$, the blue colored set is compact, $\pi_i(O)$ is open containing $x_i$, therefore $X_i$ is compact.
Well, if $C \subset Q$ is compact and there exists an interior point within $C$, then $(x,y) \cap Q \subset C$ (Theorem 26.3 comes into play here).
By theorem 26.2, the closed subspace $[x,y] \cap Q$ of $C$ is compact. Contradiction.
hmm, what is the contradiction here?
hi @copper.hat!!
Oh shit
I screwed up
Wait, no i didn't.
15:22
happy new year @Koro
Happy new year !!
It contradicts the fact that none of the closed intervals of Q are compact
Oh wait, I forgot to include that $[x,y] \cap Q \subset C$ for C is closed.
Compact spaces have the property that they are closed in any Hausdorff superspace.
Do you know that a set in a metric space is compact iff it is complete and totally bounded? Heine-Borel @Koro
15:52
@AlessandroCodenotti I know Heine Borel.
and the Heine Borel equivalent in metric spaces theorem also that you mentioned but I never had to use ‘totally bounded’ before and I don’t know its proof.
@Ajay how exactly?
If Q were locally compact, then there is a compact subspace of Q containing a nbd of 0. We can write every interval $(-d,d) \cap Q$ as $((-d,r) \cap (r,d))\cap Q$, where r is an irrational number in the interval.
@Koro you don't need total boundedness here, is any open set in Q complete?
Similarly we can get infinitely many open sets which along with some more open sets form an open cover of the compact subspace but it has no finite subcover which contradicts the assumption of local compactness.
@AlessandroCodenotti No, no no empty open set in Q is complete.
I think you want me to use Baire spaces etc.
16:22
@Koro Sorry, i'm not sure how to explain.
Can you break $(a,b)_{\Bbb Q}$ (by which I mean $\Bbb Q\cap(a,b)$) into the union of infinitely many disjoint open subsets?
I think ur better off asking the eggheads who frequent this chat.
Can we always find an infinite sequence of irrationals $r_n$ with $a<r_1<r_2<r_3<\dotsb<b$?
with $\lim r_n=b$
If so, we can write $(a,b)=(a,r_1)\cup(r_1,r_2)\cup(r_2,r_3)\cup\dotsb$
@Koro Actually, how about this: did you prove compact implies sequentially compact?
If a subset of $\Bbb Q$ has a subset that's open in $\Bbb Q$, you should be able to find a sequence of rationals in there that approaches an irrational
violating sequential compactness
16:49
@AkivaWeinberger yes.
@AkivaWeinberger cool!!
thank you so much :-).
@AkivaWeinberger that's what I did in my last comment.
@AkivaWeinberger Indeed, and then we can produce an open cover without a finite subcover :).
@Koro I did this for metric spaces.
17:08
I still search nice expressions for large primes or semiprimes that are closely related to $2023$
17:25
20023 is prime
As is 20233
22023 and 20223 are not (multiples of 9)
(20223 is also a multiple of 7, just like 2023.)
Woah! 20222…223 is a multiple of 7 for any number of 2s
Easy proof, it equals 2888…889*7
17:49
Another proof is that, assuming the base case 203 is a multiple of 7, each time you go to the next one you do 10x-7 which preserves it
Hello everyone! Can anyone explain why Sylow p-subgroup is generated by element of an order p?
18:04
No. That’s false.

f(x,y) = 2x^2 - y^2 +xy - 8x + 10
g(x,y) = 2x + y - 2 = 0
P=(1/4, 3/2) is a relative maximum point of f constrained to g.
Fine. But I wanted to use Lagrange multipliers. As P is a relative maximum, I should get negative eigenvalues. But here's what I get: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i2d=true&i=det%7B%7B4-x%2C1%2C-2%7D%2C%7B1%2C-2-x%2C-1%7D%2C%7B-2%2C-1%2C-x%7D%7D
What did I do wrong?
@Curio When you test constrained extreme points, you need to use what's called a bordered Hessian. If you use the regular second derivative test, you're forgetting the constraint.
18:53
I don't understand what your original matrix is.
I think I understood what was going on. I was wrongly looking for the eigenvalues of the bordered Hessian, forgetting that I just needed to look at the determinant. Thanks!
No. You have to look at the restriction of the quadratic form to the tangent space of the constraint manifold.
Anyhow, I get that the restriction is positive definite, which would say we have a minimum point, not a maximum point.
I'm following this pdf: docdro.id/4WNlWFL
Hmm. You're right that it is a maximum. I need to double-check.
I am actually not familiar with the result stated in that pdf. Interesting. I'll need to think about it.

To prove that $\lim_{x \to 0^+}(\sin x-x^{2021})=0^+$, is the following reasoning valid? For $x \ge 0$ it is $x-x^{2021}\ge \sin x-x^{2021}\ge x-x^3/6-x^{2021}=x\left(1-x^2/6-x^{2020}\right)$. Since $-x^2/6-x^{2020} \to 0$ when $x \to 0^+$, there exists $\delta>0$ such that $-x^2/6-x^{2020}>-1/2$ for any $0<x<\delta$. Hence $x\left(1-x^2/6-x^{2020}\right)>x/2$ for any $0<x<\delta$.
So, by the squeeze theorem, the limit is $0^+$.

@Curio Yes, this is correct. Interesting that I had not seen it in this form before.
Does anybody understand what Frege's philosophical objection to what "Truth" means?
