Q: Guess the number despite false answer

user21820This is the Guess-The-Number game with a twist! Variant 1 Take any positive integer $n$. The game-master chooses an $n$-bit integer $x$. The player makes queries one by one, each of the form "Is $x$ (strictly) less than $k$?". The game-master answers each query immediately, al...

Does anyone have any better ideas to solve this?

Can two primenumbers written together be a primenumber again and what is it called. Like 11&13=1113 or 1311 or is it impossible?
06:07
Its definitely possible
53
Not sure what it's called though, if it has a name.

Any ‘good’ book for learning abut improper integrals in detail?

Anyone good with Pigeon Hole Principle?
10:19
So just thought of something:
Concaveness is a quaternary relation
because you need at least 4 points to make the crossing

How does one map a meromorphic function to a bounded compact subspace of $\Bbb C$?
for example, $\Gamma(x)$
using the homotopy principle from complex analysis
and smooth immersions, in the sense of s. smale

Hello
I am trying to understand the Fermat factorization algorithm.
In the wikipedia page linked above, it says:
> But observe that if N had a subroot factor above a − b = 47830.1, Fermat's method would have found it already.
Its not clear to me why this is true.

Q: Group Convolution is Associative

user193319Let $G$ be some locally compact group and $\mu$ its associated Haar measure. I am trying to adapt this proof that convolution on the locally compact group $(\Bbb{R},+)$ is associative. Here's what I have so far: $$((f \ast g) \ast h)(u) = \int_{G} (f \ast g)(x)h(x^{-1}u) ~d \mu (x)$$ $$= \int_{...

A question for the math experts: My understanding of the L-infinity norm of a continuous real-valued function f(x) is that it's sup{ f(x) | all x }. But suppose f(x) is instead a real-valued vector field and I want to compute sup{ ||f(x)||_inf | all x }, i.e. the L-infinity norm of the infinity norm of the function. Is there a special name for this? Is it also called an L-infinity norm? Or do I call it the L-infinity norm of the infinity norm? TYIA

@Lukas for a group $G$ let $G^\ast=\mathrm{Hom}(G,\Bbb Z)$ be the dual group and let $j\colon G\to G^{\ast\ast}$ be the canonical homomorphism $g\mapsto(f\mapsto f(g))$. A group is reflexive iff $j$ is an isomorphism. Do you know if there are examples of groups $G$ which are isomorphic to $G^{\ast\ast}$, but not through $j$?
I have a well-ordered index set $I$ and an increasing collection of sets $B_i$ and a decreasing collection of sets $C_i$. If $B_i\cup C_i$ has constant cardinality, does $\bigcup_iB_i\cup\bigcap_iC_i$ have the same cardinality?
I’m in search of a question and answer site for physics, I don’t like the people of Physics.SE . Do you got any suggestions?

if $intF_1=\varnothing$ and $intF_2=\varnothing$ then $int(F_1\cup F_2)=\varnothing$?
No, hint: $\Bbb R$ is the union of two subspaces with empty interior
what if $F_i$ are closed?
I don't understand
@geocalc33 which part?
@topologicalorientablesurface nvm, I'll ask my question next.
I am just confused about this concept called a group
18:38
@AlessandroCodenotti
@topologicalorientablesurface now it is true
(and for subspaces of $\Bbb R$ it's true even for countable unions then)
@AlessandroCodenotti does this make sense? $\zeta_{\Bbb R^2}:=\{\phi_S(x)\}$ that is the class of functions $\phi_S(x)=\exp(St/\ln(x))$ with generator $S:=\{S\in(\ln^2(x)):x\ne 0,1\}.$ And, $t\in\Bbb R(-\infty,\infty).$ Also, $\phi \ne 0,1.$
Def: A real Lie group is a group that is also a finite-dimensional real smooth manifold, in which the group operations of multiplication and inversion are smooth maps.
$S$ generates $\zeta.$ $t$ is a real, time parameter.
A representation of $\zeta$ gives rise to a representation of its Lie algebra.
$S$ is the generator. It generates the class. And then $t$ is the parameter that should give the (continuous) group structure of the reals with multiplication as the operation
basically, $t$ continuously acts on the class
I have no idea
can I at least explain it to you?
nvm it's useless ;(
I just winked sadly

Hi! I have a question! I have a function (n^2+1)^{1/2}, I want to know how to simplify this equation?

Hi chat! Does anyone know an approach to this question that does not rely on the Carmichael function? math.stackexchange.com/questions/781074/…

Q: Confusing pictures about tetration !?

mickOn the webpage http://tetration.org/Tetration/index.html We are suppose to get an explaination of tetration, whatever that means exactly. In particular I feel the pictures are not well explained. The first two pictures show “ tetration “ and the last a “ Julia set of 2^z “. However what is...

Stupid questions inc I starred you
@mick please revert it, that's not the purpose of starring

is the intersection of a descending chain of generating sets for a vector space still a generating set?
22:47
interesting question
What's the answer, @Leaky?
@TedShifrin no idea
what do you think?
I think it has to be, but I don't see how to write a proof.
Where's Mathein when we need him?
I'm not sure if it is
That's a good question for logician @Alessandro, too.
22:59
consider $S_r := \{x \mid x < r\} \subset \Bbb R$
@Thorgott @TedShifrin bam
@adeshmishra you could try here on math.stack we have the tags physics and mathematical-physics
Aha, empty intersection. Grr.
isn't logic amazing
Yuck.
I don't even see an argument if the intersection is nonempty.
In your case, if you take $r\downarrow r_0$, of course it still works.
Oh, take $S_r=\{x: 0\le x<r\}$ and let $r\downarrow 0$. Dead.
23:06
OK, I'm satisfied now.
Didn't need those smart-aleck algebra/logic types after all :D
damn, I wanted this to be true :/
but thanks
Blame Leaky.
