##shakes fist at people who aren't accepting my answers##

Johan Larsson

@anon hmm, I dont understand/find it

user19161

@OldJohn It's called the retirement effect. =)

mick

axiom1 : love is the absurd large desire that someone is friendly and near you all the time. absurd as in googolplex ( 10^10^100 )

Old John

@WillHunting I know - it is pervading my whole life ...

user19161

@none Would you consider changing your white to another colour to be more visible? =)

mick

23:01

@PeterTamaroff that sounds like pokemon xD

jdoe

why d o people care about rep

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn I get a convergent subsequence $\{x_{n_k}\}$ with $\lim x_{n_k}=x\in [a,b]$

mick

because they are ppl

they like to be appreciated and motivated

and need to be

jdoe

i fee llonely

Old John

@jdoe no idea - for me it is a mild amusement

robjohn

23:02

@PeterTamaroff and since the limit is continuous...

mick

oh poor jdoe

Ed Gorcenski

@jdoe I don't care about rep; I have a psychological addiction to making numbers go up.

mick

@EdGorcenski does that include debt ? :p

Ed Gorcenski

@mick Considering I just bought a house, apparently the answer is yes.

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn we should have $\lim f_{n_k}(x_{n_k})=f(x)=0$?

mick

23:03

@EdGorcenski lol , a modern addiction :)

Peter Tamaroff

@EdGorcenski Can I befriend you?

anon

@JohanLarsson https://i.sstatic.net/P4SU6.png

Ed Gorcenski

@PeterTamaroff Sure

@Mick a decision I do not at all regret, however.

mick

i hope you never do ed

robjohn

@PeterTamaroff You need to be careful with double limits.

user19161

23:05

@PeterTamaroff I have 5k now, can I befriend you?

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn Yes, that is nonesense, sorry.

Johan Larsson

@anon thank you!

mick

I noticed it it hard to increase rep when im offline

user19161

@mick What are you saying?

mick

just trivial stuff

:)

@WillHunting

robjohn

23:06

@PeterTamaroff besides, I thought that each of the $f_{n_k}(x_{n_k})>\epsilon$, no?

Johan Larsson

Is it possible to offer a cash bounty?

mick

I do not think charlie thinks im a kid ...

user19161

@JohanLarsson No.

Johan Larsson

@WillHunting do you know the reason?

mick

yey i got 3 stars :)

Johan Larsson

23:08

or maybe it is just not supported

user19161

@JohanLarsson Well, that's just the way the people who created the site made it. If you really think there should be you can write to them.

mick

yes Johan Larsson , you can give me the cash bounty !! :)

amWhy

@JohanLarsson Me too, you want my address?

user19161

Money cannot buy one sanity.

mick

@JohanLarsson i was first !

I hope you offer more than Clay does , they tried to rip me off :)

so i kept all those proofs to myself :p

Johan Larsson

23:10

It could be a really good way to get in contact with an expert in the field at work

amWhy

@WillHunting how goes it? Hello all!

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn Yes.

user19161

@mick You need to write your questions properly first before you can speak about Clay. =)

Peter Tamaroff

That is the contradiction =)

(I guess!) =O

user19161

@amWhy What does amWhy mean?

Ed Gorcenski

23:11

Alright, that's enough work-work for me today. Now to go home, cook some tasty pierogies and kielbasa like a good Pole, and finish my analysis homework.

mick

@WillHunting damn that was below the belt :p

amWhy

@WillHunting I used to be AJ.M. and people asked if I was married to J.M.! It's a puzzle sound it out. A....M...Why...

user19161

@JohanLarsson Hmm, well I think that if you really need these experts SE is not the place to find them. There are no Fields Medallists here that I know of or Nobel Prize winners you know.

robjohn

@PeterTamaroff one can be constructed, yes.

user19161

@amWhy AJM must be your initials then. I had a prof with initials AJB.

mick

23:13

conservation of energy !!!

amWhy

@WillHunting love playing with language, words, etc. Especially fond of alliteration!

Old John

@EdGorcenski is that anything like russian pirozhki ?

amWhy

@WillHunting...yes AJM are my initials, amWhy is my first name...a...m....y

user19161

It's actually a good thing to be single. Then one can focus on mathematics and not be distracted by the opposite sex.

Johan Larsson

@WillHunting ok, maybe not elite experts, but if I have a question that is to hard for my team and someone can answer it in a god way the person is at least good enough?

mick

23:15

physics troll : consider a sphere of radius 1 of unit energy.
use banach tarski to turn it into 2 spheres of unit energy each !

=> violated conservation of energy !!!

robjohn

@PeterTamaroff: I corrected the spelling of "note" in your comment. I hope that was right.

user19161

@robjohn GND!

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn Oh, thanks.

robjohn

@WillHunting GND?

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn OK, so now I got my subsequence $\{x_{n_k}\}$ with $|f_{m}(x_{n_k})|\geq \epsilon$. How can I now use the monotonicity? Davide uses $\limsup$ but I'm not used to that.

mick

23:16

im a talented troll , not ?

robjohn

@WillHunting It's SND, perhaps...

anon

@JohanLarsson (a) there's no harm in asking the question, no? (b) have you heard of mathoverflow? (c) there's always doing things the old-fashioned way, going through social connections and contacting various experts directly with a pitch or whatever.

user19161

@robjohn Ah OK, just another disorder in the DSM.

Johan Larsson

@anon Yeah, and involving money might destroy the entire SE. I was just curious, dont know where t hire someone who is better at math than me really (and I suk pretty much)

Peter Tamaroff

@JohanLarsson Shoot.

Oh, money?

Johan Larsson

23:19

lol, it was a meta question

Montaigne

if there is anybody who is familiar with functional analysis may could help me: math.stackexchange.com/questions/232485/…

robjohn

@PeterTamaroff $x_{n_k}\to x_\infty$...

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn ?

robjohn

@PeterTamaroff what would be $f(x_\infty)$?

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn $0$

@robjohn Why are you writing "$x_\infty$"?

robjohn

23:23

@PeterTamaroff the limit of the $x_{n_k}$; did you have another name for it?

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn Oh, just plain $x$. Or $\ell$.

$\ell$ is cute.

user19161

I have not written a jimerick for Old John.

user19161

Hmm let me think of one.

robjohn

@WillHunting is that just a couple of letters short of a limerick?

Old John

@WillHunting you don't have to ...

Peter Tamaroff

23:25

@robjohn I have a problem with my indices

user19161

@robjohn It's just my version of limericks which have rhyme but not the correct rhythm.

robjohn

@WillHunting ah, bad sounding limericks?

@PeterTamaroff what problem?

user19161

@robjohn Something like that!

Old John

There was a young lady from Hyde
Who ate some green apples and died
But the apples fermented inside the lamented
and made cider inside her insides :)

Peter Tamaroff

Well, I have that $$\eqalign{
& {f_k}({x_1}) \geqslant {\text{ although }}k > 1 \cr
& {f_k}({x_2}) \geqslant {\text{ although }}k > 2 \cr
& \cdots \geqslant \cdots \cr
& {f_k}({x_n}) \geqslant {\text{ although }}k > n \cr} $$

user19161

23:28

@OldJohn WTF!!!

Peter Tamaroff

@robjohn Davide seems to be more free with indices

I'm missing something.

Old John

@WillHunting Well my surname is shared by a famous English poet - so I thought I ought to continue the family tradition :)

user19161

@OldJohn Yes, I noticed. Shh...

Realz Slaw

math.stackexchange.com/q/232422/39567 any thoughts?

mick

bye guys

robjohn

23:37

@RealzSlaw what exactly are you proposing for the arithmetic?

Realz Slaw

@robjohn well I am asking if LFTs can be used to do the same sort of arithmetic that Gosper's algorithms do for continued fractions

@robjohn

er

what more did you want to know?

robjohn

@RealzSlaw Do you have a link for Gosper's algorithm?

Realz Slaw

sure h/o

user19161

@robjohn That sounds like my cousin. =)

robjohn

@WillHunting in what way?

user19161

23:41

@robjohn Gosper, Jasper, duh.

Realz Slaw

@robjohn perl.plover.com/yak/cftalk, this is pretty good, but is missing some examples at t he end

I think this is the original: inwap.com/pdp10/hbaker/hakmem/cf.html

paul-mccarthy.us/Cfrac/CF_Arithmetic.htm

thats a worked out example

with visualizations

some more by gosper: perl.plover.com/yak/cftalk/INFO/gosper.txt

er

anon

@BenjaLim I just realized there is an error of your citation Ful. It is not combinatorics but the word geometry in the title.

Argon

@WillHunting

user19161

@Argon Hey hey! We had an interesting conversation just now...

Argon

@WillHunting Which one?

user19161

23:52

@Argon The part with lots of stars...

stop being friendly and stop being bossy !! lol

?

user19161

1 hour ago, by zero

@Charlie what have you done to skull?

user19161

Maybe start from here.

Argon

@WillHunting I'm sure Rebecca Black will be disappointed...

user19161

@Argon Huh? I don't get you...

Argon

23:57

1 hour ago, by Will Hunting

Why do I feel like I'm in love with @anon even though anon is not a girl?

:)

Hahahaa interesting conversation there!

user19161

@Argon HAHAHA, maybe anon is RB!

Argon

@WillHunting Hahaha :)

user19161

@Argon Two more days and then I can give you the song...

Argon

@WillHunting Counting down already?
