Thanks for the answers to my -1/12 question Nilknarf and Simply!
So, Nilknarf, regarding that proof about the relationship between the Riemann zeta function and the integral from -1 to 0 of those functions, do you know for sure that such a proof is actually something that can be done or were you proposing the idea just as a possibility?
I tried to learn it once but eventualy i realised I was more a fan of logic itself and higher things like catagory thoery (sine it skips a lot of the work in set thoery)
I've covered ordinals before but it was a while ago and I havent studied them since
google defines it as the smallest quantity that is greater than or equal to each of a given set of quantities. So basicly the maximum element in the set; but defined using the concept of smallest greater element
so whats the difference here between ω=sup{1,2,3,4,…} and ω={1,2,3,4,…} in both cases it appears that ω[1] would be 1 and ω[n] would be n unless the []'s are not conventional brackets, and stand for something else
1=sup{0.9,0.99,0.999,0.9999,…}. Doesnt that imply that a single set has just 1 value when we take the sup of it? As opposed to the multiple we obtain when we write ω[n]
so $\omega$ is a number and not a function, and $\omega[n]$ is something that starts at the first element of the set it is defined for and has a sequence associated with it
Well, its mostly a label for me. For the purposes of large finite numbers, I mostly need syntactic ordinals
That is, ordinals defined by syntax. For example, I could've just said $\omega[n]=n$ without ever introducing the concept of sets and fundamental sequences
to clarify; is $\omega 2=sup\{\omega+n|n\in N\}$ the act of adding any natural to $\omega$ then taking the supremum? to me that means we could add the last natural then increment one further, and that this is $\omega 2$
I'm finding they make a lot of math easier. You only have to read one then you can understand so much more quickly. Particularly proofs and set theory.
Can someone compute
$$ \int_0^1\frac{\ln^4(1+x)\ln x}x \,dx$$
in closed form?
I conjecture that the answer can be expressed as a polynomial function with rational coefficients in constants of the form $\operatorname{Li}_n(x)$ where $n$ is a natural number, $x$ is rational, and $\mathrm{Li}_n...
Mathmore, it's chatjax that you need for using mathjax in any chatroom on site.; there's a bookmark you can add to your browser (find it on the general Mathematics chatroom).
I think we can use following things : 1) In metric spaces, a space is separable iff it is second countable. 2)Gram-Schmidt process to generate basis (as suggested by the answerer on the OP). What say?
Since $L^2[a,b]$ is separable, it is second countable as well. So it has a countable basis. Now we have $e_n$ as an orthonormal set so it is linearly independent.
@Simply yeah i'm trying to get the geometrical intuition, I already know a way to prove it @Simply
If you have a function f, think of the Laplacian of f at x as a measurement of how close you are the average value of points around x. For example, if the Laplacian of f is 0, then you have that u(x) is exactly equal to the average value of u on a ball around x.
^ I know that's the intution behind $\nabla$
@Simply you have any ideas, been wrapping my head around this
@Dibbs In response to your message to me: yes, the proof can be done (in fact, it seems that @SimplyBeautifulArt has already done it for you, so there's not really much more I can do to help you).
In the text "Theory of Functions of One Complex Variable", I'm having trouble verifying the way I expressed the Laplacian Operator, and generalizing $(1.)$ to functions of more then one complex variable following Proposition in $(1.)$ Also I'm having trouble establishing the geometrical intuition...
I'm looking for a simple function in terms of the elementary and exponential functions that when passed an integer x and integer y, it returns the number of times that y can be divided from x such that the result is an integer. I believe that it is something along the lines of $\lfloor\log_y(x)\r...
@Dibbs I've already posted it to your question: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2252550/integrating-the-formula-for-the-sum-of-all-natural-numbers/2337019#2337019
Nah, I haven't done much serious diving into multivariable stuff. I just know lots of random things, per chance such random things happen to be related to multivariable calculus, but I haven't done such studying.
