Anyone have fun graph theory/modular arithmetic(basic like Fermat's little theorem)/ polynomial interpolation(basic) questions?
Oh induction too.
I'm trying to think of test questions for a class, I'm particularly interested in thinking up fun graph questions but I can't think of any.
@Anthony what kind of class would have both graph theory and modular arithmetic ?
Hi @Anthony @blue
hi
@TedShifrin ay
@blue its an intro discrete math class for CS
It's like, very low level, but I wanna think of a fun problem.
Something difficult, but something that the CS audience might actually enjoy...

@robjohn both proofs are stunning && amazing :D .. I'm gonna by-heart 'em :-)
00:25
@r9m both? which other?
r9m
r9m
@robjohn DonAntonio's answer too :D
@r9m Okay. The other answer to that question :-)
00:37
@robjohn yes. :-)
00:52
@TedShifrin You there?
Well, anyone for that matter.
Hi all
can you guys please answer me a question?
Oi.
I probably can't.
if you read a research paper and come across few lines of mathematical derviation that you couldn't understand
where should you go get help
lol I definitely can't answer.
others?
all dead?
ok, dead mans
I like dead man
r9m

01:03
@user3222184 put the exact nature of your doubt or question and ask it on here I guess ?! :-)
01:31
@BalarkaSen yea man
solve it!
@user3222184 ask the author!
@Studentmath you could try to enumerate the family of graphs in the 2nd half of this paper. it's pretty interesting, though I hear the author is a d-bag who advertises it shamelessly.
01:46
ask the author?
   the author will probabily ignore me
  why isn't any one in this forum
                           help
@user3222184 most authors are happy to get questions about their work
if it were my paper i'd be excited to get an email about it
ok, I will send him an email
i've done it a bunch of times, they'll probably reply
unless they're dead or something :)
1/10?
...
OK.
Actually, I could go to my supervisor
what type of paper is it?
01:48
but I don't want to give bad impression u know
   electrical

ah... i probably can't help you there.
if u read my question

Q: Probability: NEED HELP to Understand with the follow

kouI need help to understand the probability derviation of a paper. Please help me. For the following, please only treat $|h_{R,B}|^2$ and $|h_{A,R}|^2$ as random variables (other parameters can be treated as constants). Those two random varibles are i.i.d. such that they are exponential distributed...

yeah, sorry... not much I can do for you there.
i'm an algebraist.
that is about as far from probability as you can get.

@r9m That was a while ago... Glad you liked it.

@robjohn This is absolutely Awesome !! .. I wonder if it can be derived with results from real-analysis :D
03:34
suppose we have $nk$ variables in $n$ linear equations and $n^2$ homogenous quadratic equations over an algebraically closed field, and $1\le k\le n$. is there a simple argument that there is at most one solution?
(I am assuming that there is at most one solution)
@r9m It may be possible, but all the proofs that are linked to from that question are contour integration.
04:17
@robjohn, in which branch of mathematics, order theory is studied?
@Sush abstract algebra, although it also makes appearances in category theory, set theory, and combinatorics
@blue, thank you so much. Can you recommend an introductory book for abstract algebra please?
more intro books to abstract algebra would restrict themselves to groups, rings and fields, with very little order theory
you would need a text on universal algebra specifically, but that would still probably be too broad. best to just pick up a book that's specifically about order theory or lattices.
@blue, thanks.
@blue, is order theory and lattice theory the same?
not quite, lattices are a particular type of order
04:31
ok!

I have proven $\Bbb C[G]\cong\bigoplus_{V\in{\rm Irr}(G)}V\otimes_{\Bbb C} V^*$ (both as $\Bbb C$-algebras and left/right $\Bbb C[G]$-modules) and $\sum_{g\in G}\chi_V(g)\chi_W(g^{-1})=|G|\delta_{VW}$ with basically no character theory at all. I am wondering how to leverage these two facts to prove the multiplicative identity of the $V$-isotypical summand of $\Bbb C[G]$ is given by $\frac{\dim V}{|G|}\sum_{g\in G}\chi_V(g^{-1})g$.

@MatsGranvik how to prove $e^{x}=1+x+\frac{x^{2}}{2}+o(x^{2})$
07:26
@Bob You can prove this by the method of prolonged staring.
I mean, I don't know how to prove it. Gilbert Strang has a video on MIT Open Course Ware how this is derived.
Bob
Bob
@MatsGranvik
can you give me the link
It could be that the proof is in one of his other videos.
It is probably the latter one.

Bob
Bob
i saw the 1st it is not there
no it is not in 2nd too
07:43
@Bob I have forgotten which video it is. But roughly the derivation I remember is. He takes the derivative of the Geometric series somehow repeatedly and arrives at the exponential function.
Kind of like this in Mathematica:
Clear[x]
Series[1/(1 - x), {x, 0, 12}]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
% means the previous lines output
Given that you know that this remains unchanged:
D[E^x, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%, x]
D[%,x] is the derivative of the previous output
The point I guess is that you need not take the geometric series, you can take any taylor power series and arrive at the exponential function through repeated derivatives, given that E^x is a function such that its derivative is E^x unchanged.
no, wait, now I said too much. Probably not any power series. The geometric series it should be.

If $$A= A_1 \oplus A_2 \oplus \cdots \oplus A_n$$, how can one prove that $B \subseteq A $ iff $$B=B_1 \oplus B_2 \oplus \cdots \oplus B_n, B_i \subseteq A_i?$$
I'm not sure if this is actually true. Obviously the $\cdots \Rightarrow B \subseteq A$ is easy.
09:21
what kinds of things are the $A_i$?
let $A_1,A_2=R$ and $B$ the diagonal copy of $R$
Sorry, groups.
then what I said
09:53
By diagonal copy do you mean this?
@Sush I had never heard of "order theory" before. I just looked it up on Wikipedia and it just seems to be the study of order relations in many branches. I don't think it belongs to any branch; it is sort of branch-orthogonal.
@Alyosha yes

I'm going through some old functional analysis lecture notes and I don't remember what the following notion is supposed to mean:
$$H_0^1(\Omega) := \| \cdot \|_{H_0^1} - \operatorname{clos}(C_0^{\infty})$$
I know it is supposed to be a Hilbert space but I have no idea what the right side of the equation tells me. I know how the norm on the space is defined:
$$\| u \|_{H_0^1}^2 = \int_\Omega | \nabla u | ^2 \, \mathrm dx$$
This Hilbert space apparently is helpful for solving the Dirichlet problem using Riesz' theorem.
heya @blue
@Huy it looks like the closure of $C_0^\infty$ under the $H_0^1$ norm.
10:54
We have
$$
\sum_{j=1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty(-1)^{j+k}\frac{\log(j+k)}{(j+k)^2}
=\sum_{k=1}^\infty(-1)^k\frac{(k-1)\log(k)}{k^2}
$$
Thus,
$$
\begin{align}
\sum_{k=1}^{2n}(-1)^k\frac{\log(k)}{k}
&=2\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{\log(2k)}{2k}-\sum_{k=1}^{2n}\frac{\log(k)}{k}\\
&=\log(2)H_n-\sum_{k=n+1}^{2n}\frac{\log(k)}{k}\\
&=\log(2)H_n-\frac12\log(2n)^2+\frac12\log(n)^2+O\left(\frac{\log(n)}{n}\right)\\
&=\log(2)\log(n)+\log(2)\gamma-\frac12\log(2)^2-\log(2)\log(n)+O\left(\frac{\log(n)}{n}\right)\\
&\to\log(2)\gamma-\frac12\log(2)^2

@DanielFischer let $a, b$ be rationals. When covering $[a, b] $ with $a+k(b-a)/n$ for all $n$ and relevant integer $k$, I'm pretty sure that some rationals in $[a, b] $ are left out, but I can't prove it. The rationals are countable, so I can't get any argument based on that
Hey @Ted, long time no see
@G.T.R Let $a < x < b$ with $x$ rational. Let $q = \frac{x-a}{b-a}$. Then $q = \frac{k}{n}$ for some $k,n$.
Heya @GTR: You've been hiding!
Ah, @DanielF beat me.
As usual.
@TedShifrin That's libel. I never have beaten you.

@Vrouvrou: Type \"a ...
OK, I'm heading to work. I'll check in later.
Bonne route, @Ted.
13:07
Glad to know you're still alive @GTR ... and I presume @Hippa is too (even if his computer isn't).
Merci bien, Daniel.
Greetings
@DanielFischer clever, as usual
@Chris'ssis good morning.
@robjohn Hello! How are you doing? :-) I saw your work that is nice.
By the way, this proves that rationals within a bounded interval are countable quite simply
13:12
@Chris'ssis thanks. The one proof is essentially the same as in the answer I linked to before.
@robjohn Yeah.

Hello.
does $\LaTeX$ work
$$\int $$ [ \int ]
kek
chatjax ftw
Ok, so $z = x + iy$ and $x = \frac 1 2 ( z + \overline z)$.
So from the first equation $\frac {\partial z} {\partial x} = 1$ hence $\frac {\partial x} {\partial z} = 1/1 = 1$, but from the second equation $\frac {\partial x} {\partial z} = \frac 1 2$, treating $z$ and $\overline z$ as independent variables.
Which step is wrong?

@Chris'ssis :D .. okay
@r9m How are you doing there? :-)

@Chris'ssis so&&so :-) ... btw did you see robjohn's solution to the lambert-W integral from yesterday ? :D
@r9m Only so&&so? Some issues with the inequalities?
:-)
@r9m No.

14:22
@Chris'ssis ya ... that inequality stuff is choking my neck !! :-(
@r9m Well, one needs to invest a lot of time in them.
r9m
r9m
@Chris'ssis here .. amazing !! :D
@Chris'ssis invest $\equiv$ waste a lot of time :| .. I have seen solutions that make me wanna stop doing math for the rest of my life :|
@r9m Well, those solutions should motivate us, not stop us doing things. I mean, you need to think that you'll be able to do such things and even greater ones during the time. :-)
r9m
r9m
@Chris'ssis That me would be on a whole other level compared to the current me ... so extremely hard for me to even begin imagining =P
@r9m in general, things will flow naturally, you only need to work, learn the stuff you like. Just think about it: what should I say about myself that I have no background in mathematics? I don't discourage myself because of that. Moreover, I wanna become like Ramanujan and even more ... (in terms of integrals, series and limits)
@r9m Never give up your dreams! Fight the impossible and put it down every single day! :-)

14:32
@Chris'ssis =') thanks !! ..

good ... looks like I'm not the only Rastapopoulos here :-) :P
@LTS For functions of several variables, you can't just take the reciprocal of $\frac{\partial x_i}{\partial y_j}$ to obtain $\frac{\partial y_j}{\partial x_i}$. You need to invert the Jacobi matrix of the coordinate change, $$\begin{pmatrix} \frac{\partial x_i}{\partial y_j}\end{pmatrix}^{-1}_{1\leqslant i,j \leqslant n} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{\partial y_j}{\partial x_i}\end{pmatrix}_{1\leqslant j,i\leqslant n}.$$

@Chris'ssis do you know about the asymptotics of $\displaystyle \int_{[0,1]^n}\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2}\,d\mu$ ?!
@r9m I think I have some on my (own) papers ... :-)
r9m
r9m
14:39
@Chris'ssis Awesome !! .. Jack D'Aurizio asked here :-)
I wonder if we replace the QM with Lehmer mean/other means .. what happens to the asymptotics ?! :o
@Chris'ssis did you publish your paper somewhere ? :-) .. I mean the $\displaystyle \int_{[0,1]^n}\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2}\,d\mu$
@r9m Which paper? I worked on some in the last period of time. So far, no one is published but this is just a matter of time.
r9m
r9m
@Chris'ssis okay :-) ..
14:56
@r9m Read Tintin?

@BalarkaSen fan man fan !!
Same here.
Herge was a genius.
r9m
r9m
@BalarkaSen No doubt about that :-)
@r9m So you've finally agreed on publishing papers instead of books?
@r9m Qiaochu is not human.
r9m
r9m
@BalarkaSen I knew @Chris'ssis is yet to write a book .. so I was asking if he/she had it on a paper .. paper and books entirely different idea .. they are not comparable :|
@BalarkaSen ?! why ? :O
15:02
@r9m I am simply pointing out that papers are more generally read instead of hard-core books.
@r9m The ping is a link. Click it.
r9m
r9m
@BalarkaSen ya .. its linked to my Q .. but why do you think Qiaochu is not human ? :o
@r9m Have you ever seen this one? $$\lim_{ n\to \infty} \sqrt{n}\left(l-\sqrt{ 1+ \sqrt{2 + \cdots +\sqrt{n}}}\right)^{1/n}$$ where $l$ is the limit of the nested radical.
r9m
r9m
@Chris'ssis $l = 3$ ?
@r9m I don't think so.
r9m
r9m
@Chris'ssis oops .. thats a different one .. sorry !! gimmie a minute :| .. I forgot but the sequence of nested radicals has a name :|
15:10
ok ;)
@r9m it was a joke =P Qiaochu is exceptionally advanced in math.

@BalarkaSen That be true sailor :|

@r9m I use OEIS time to time.
Great thing for cool cheats.

Hi, are there any mods around with superpowers? I'm trying to read the (in my browser corrupted) third comment under my answer here. Perhaps if one inserts some extra spaces (or perhaps introduce more $$'s), the comment (or at least parts of it) becomes readable.
15:21
@r9m You are given a hexagon. Draw the diagonals. How many triangles do you get?
The triangles can be pretty much anything. Vertices can be at intersection of two diagonals as well as the vertices of the hexagons.

@r9m it's counting at any case.

@robjohn If an author says to assume that $f(a+z)$ can be expanded in the form $f(a+z) = c_{0}+c_{1}e^{-z} + c_{2}e^{-2z} + \ldots$, what sort of functions is he referring to?
@RandomVariable I don't know if there is a classification... $f(a+z)=g(e^{-z})$ where the expansion is a taylor expansion for $g$
@r9m I just had my official oral exam. At the end, the guy asked "what are, in your opinion, the most important theorems in analysis and linear algebra?" :/
@robjohn The only thing the author claims is that $z^{-n}$ can be expanded in such a form. Should that be obvious?
@RandomVariable You mean $z^{-n}=c_0+c_1e^{-z}+c_2e^{-2z}+\dots$?
16:56
@robjohn I meant $(a+z)^{-n}$.
Hello
please i have a small question if i have that $f(t,u)$ is continuous , is $\int f(t,u)$ is continuous ?
Integral with respect to what @Vrouvrou
to $t$
17:12
Yes because then it's derivative of your result $F$ exists which implies continuity
intuitively, but that wasn't really rigorous
$\dfrac{d}{dt}\int f(t,u) dt = f(t,u) + C$
Not sure really, good question!
I ate some san pedro (teaspoons) and had a noticeble effect. I will need to pulverize, simmer, filter it to make the doses.
@vrou over which domain are you integrating?
$u$ is a function depending en t
and f:[0,+\infty)\times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}
@vrou what are the bounds of integration?
@RandomVariable I am not sure... There might be a way other than computing the $c_k$, but I don't see it right off.
I have (p(t) u'(t))'=f(t,u(t)) and i want to prove that p(t) u'(t) is continuous
17:19
@EnjoysMath In that form, there is no $C$
so i integrate from t to +\infty or from 0 to t
it is a primitive
@robjohn The author describes a method to evaluate a certain class of definite integrals. But you need to know the function you're dealing with could in theory be expanded in such a form. It's unclear if $(z+a)^{-n}$ could be expanded in such a form?
@RandomVariable around the point $z=0$?
@VibhavPant Hi there... what's up?
@robjohn Well, Im able to do problems in number theory
17:25
@G.T.R
@robjohn If $(z+a)^{-n} = c_{0}+c_{1}e^{-z} + c_{2}e^{-2z} + \ldots$
@robjohn And school is making sure I'm not getting any time to do number theory
Anyways, I'm stuck on a question:
@RandomVariable yes, but about what point is the expansion supposed to hold? I would assume about $z=0$
Prove$n^{12}-a^{12}$ is divisible by $91$ if $n$ and $a$ are prime to $91$
@VibhavPant $91=7\times13$ and $n^{12}-a^{12}=\left(n^2\right)^6-\left(a^2\right)^6$
17:27
oh yeah
@VibhavPant so Fermat's Little Theorem with $p=7$ and $p=13$ should do the job
yeah
thanks!
@EnjoysMath please
@robjohn It's not explicitly stated, but you can extrapolate that it's implied.
@robjohn Im still confused about where I should apply Fermat's Little Theorem
17:35
@VibhavPant If $a\not\equiv0\pmod{p}$ then $a^{p-1}\equiv1\pmod{p}$
yeah
@robjohn what would $a$ be?
(apologies, Im still new to number theory)
Thus, $n^{12}\equiv1\pmod{13}$ and $\left(n^2\right)^6\equiv1\pmod{7}$ and $a^{12}\equiv1\pmod{13}$ and $\left(a^2\right)^6\equiv1\pmod{7}$
So $n^{12}-a^{12}\equiv0\pmod{7}$ and $n^{12}-a^{12}\equiv0\pmod{13}$
and then I take 7 and 13's LCM to get one congruence, right?
Since $(7,13)=1$, we have $n^{12}-a^{12}\equiv0\pmod{91}$
ah
alright, thanks!
17:57
@Vrouvrou what about saying that $p(t)u'(t)$ is differentiable, hence continuous ?
@robjohn gp-pari has a sumalt command, that rather quickly sums alternating series, or even things that are almost alternating, up to a given precision (took a minute for it to sum a 'rather complicated' series up to 100-digit precision). does mathematica have such a command?
@robjohn have you ever tried this one? $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{H_n-\log(n)-\gamma}{n}$$ This one is simply awesome.
@MikeMiller Cohen-Villegas-Zagier can give convergent values to divergent sums.
did you know that off the top of your head
18:01
jesus
@MikeMiller I have been in such situations.
anyway, it doesn't much matter, because mine aren't divergent, and it's giving what I expect it to give
but I need to plot something, and pari isn't the right tool for that:
@MikeMiller i realize that -- otherwise most people usually hate sumalt.
@MikeMiller use ploth
that gives you high-definition plots
will do
thanks for the tips
:)
@Mike is that in-console plot ?
18:03
welcome.
gotta go.
@G.T.R yup
that's bad-ass
heh, @G.T.R
pari is tremendous tool for the ones who knows how to use it. i have even seen codes for contour plots.
for those who doesn't : it's crap. pari isn't user-friendly.
Determine the set of points where the function is continuous (multivariable calculus)?
f(x,y)= e^(x^2 y)+ √(x+y^2 )
@Shisui hi.
18:15
@BalarkaSen so Pari is Linux-like
@Chris'ssis that's pretty cool. i think you have posted it here before.
@G.T.R dunno. never used linux.
@Chris'ssis it can be done by switching order of summation, am i right?
@BalarkaSen hi.
@BalarkaSen I did that some months ago, but I'm back to it since I derived some other series starting from this one.
@Chris'ssis You know, sometimes connection between several series and integrals surprise me.
I have seen surprising relations, many of them. For example, have you seen relations with polylog and polygamma?
18:18
@BalarkaSen That's another amazing thing about integrals and series.
@BalarkaSen Yes, I saw some.
@Chris'ssis Cool. They are just marvelous. I mean, who expected such relations?
@BalarkaSen I proposed as a problem such a relation? I need to take a look at my papers.
@Chris'ssis No, I don't think you ever had.
Let's be frank here : Integrals and the connections between them is usually a deep subject to study and is related to transcendental number theory. I have just learned about some of them and I was simply awestruck.
For example, google [Kontsevich + Zaigier + Ring of Periods]
@BalarkaSen Yeah, let's be frank here ... wait a a bit ...
18:25
@BalarkaSen this is an example (I mean this is just a particular case of a more general case)
I bet you don't see such an equality every day.
I leave for some jogging now. Have fun!
bbl
heard on an IRC channel: "discrete mathematics was when some mathematician said "I like numbers a lot, perhaps I should put rings on them?"
good night
@robjohn I assumed that $\cos (r \log (a+z))$ could be expanded in such a form to evaluate an integral earlier this year. math.stackexchange.com/questions/310205/…

@Sawarnik Yo!
19:16
@Chris'ssis I didn't saw what you did. I was away.
Can you please repost?
Heya @G.T.R
19:38
Yes.
Got that.
@Shisui A quickie, find a never-continuous $f(x)$ such that $|f(x)|$ is always continuous. :)
@Sawarnik Peasy.
@BalarkaSen Not for you! Yes it is peasy though :)
@BalarkaSen Anyways did that [unprintable words] school of yours opened?
@Sawarnik No. More extra holidays.
@BalarkaSen Oh, you are joking.
19:47
Yes, I am joking.
So when did it start?
But I can't go to school -- I am ill. Caught up a fever.
@Sawarnik 3rd July.
lol...me too!
@BalarkaSen Oh wow.
And after a month of school (well, with exams) we got holidays of festivals.
@Sawarnik Did you do that strict tangent problem?
Reveal : $f(x) = \tan(x)$.
If I am not much mistaken, an Archimedean spiral should do too.
Hey @BalarkaSen, and @Sawarnik find a function differentiable over $(-1,1)$ and such that its derivative is continuous only over the irrationals
19:54
@G.T.R Now that's a nontrivial question.
^Exactly.
@BalarkaSen Festival of holidays, you mean actually.
@Sawarnik heh. well, both.
you know that Durga Puja stuffs and all.
silly, but atleast we get some holidays.
@BalarkaSen Durga Puja is still to come right?
@BalarkaSen Exactly :D
@Sawarnik September, I think.
I like SMBC.
@BalarkaSen lol..but a bit lame story..i agree with the girl!
20:03
Heya @RandomVariable
@BalarkaSen Hello.
@RandomVariable How much weird contours have you used during solving some integral problems?
The worst I have seen is the Hankel contour.
Nothing that weird. The weirdest would be keyhole contours with more than one keyhole.
Or maybe a parallelogram.
Triangles are sometimes useful. @BalarkaSen

@G.T.R Hmm. I don't like Löw, but I don't think "Blitzkrieg" is an appropriate description of his tactics, he isn't that barbaric.

@Chris'ssis Not at all. Brazil was a dreadful team this year.
@robjohn I just computed that series version with 2 variables. It simply blows minds.

5-0 in 20 minutes. Can you believe that?
@BalarkaSen On the other hand, if they are really good, then they deserve this result.

@BalarkaSen this is truly remarkable!
@Ian history.
it's an history.
i think this will end with 7-0.
Nah Brazil will surely score
@BalarkaSen, it'll probably be 10-0...

Hey all, I was reading a post about $0^{0}$, and it was saying in calculus and in algebra there isn't a reasonably good answer... Is this the truth?
They suggested that looking at if from power series might be a good way, what would that view be?
@G.T.R yes. it'd be 8-1 perhaps.

@BalarkaSen maybe an Argentina-Brazil saturday? :P
@Ian =P
I think Argentina will loose.
@Anthony $x^x=\exp(x\ln(x))$
Robben will send them home.

@Anthony from set theory perspective
iirc, it's the number of functions from the empty group to the empty group, and thus there is only a single such function - the empty function, thus, set theory wise, $0^0=1$
I wonder if I hope for sirens in my test tomorrow or not. If it goes well I guess not, but otherwise it could be helpful..
@Studentmath graph theory ?
