Q: Conjectures that have been disproved with extremely large counterexamples?

Justin L.I just came back from my Number Theory course, and during the lecture there was mention of the Collatz Conjecture. I'm sure that everyone here is familiar with it; it describes an operation on a natural number – $n/2$ if it is even, $3n+1$ if it is odd. The conjecture states that if this operat...

Q: Statements that seem true for many values of n but they are false

Daniel C.Not much time ago I saw an Instagram post about something called Borwein Integral, which is certainly such a "monster". This integral has the following form: $$\int_0^{\infty}\frac{\sin{x}}{x}\cdots\frac{\sin{\frac{x}{100n+1}}}{\frac{x}{100n+1}}$$ The most surprising thing about this result is t...

Q: Dividing a tempered distribution by a polynomial

KandinskijLet $p=p(x_1,...,x_N)$ be a non-zero polynomial in $N$ variables (real coefficients). Let $\mathscr{S}$ be the Schwartz space on $\mathbb{R}^N$ and let $\mathscr{S}'$ be its topological dual (i.e. the space of tempered distributions). I know that the map $\mathscr{S}'\to \mathscr{S}', \ \ \ T\map...

It looks like you have edited this post a couple of times to include the tag ito-integrals. This tag doesn't already exist on the site, and it is generally considered bad form to create a new tag without consulting the community, first.

@XanderHenderson That tag was and not . It is a minor thing - but perhaps you want to edit that comment to fix the typo.

Q: How to show that $M_2[A]$ is graphic but $M_3[A]$ is not?

EmptymindHere is the question I am trying to solve letter $(b)$ in it: Let $A$ be the matrix $\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$ For $q$ in $\{2,3\},$ let $M_q[A]$ be the vector matroid of $A$ when $A$ is viewed over $GF(q),$ the field of $...
