I found this exercise in a book by Narkiewicz: Assume that the series $f(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n n^{-s}$ with real monotonic coefficients is convergent in a half-plane and satisfies there the Euler product formula $$ f(s)=\prod_p\left(1+\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{a_{p^k}}{p^{k s}}\right). $$ P...

Currently I'm trying to find a Geometry Nodes solution on how to get the name of the object that is assigned in an Object Info node, as a string value, to be able to use it in a string type Compare node.

I thought that if a PDF is password encrypted, it is at least provides some kind of safety. However I received today an encrypted PDF, and was told the password.

A Girard semilattice is an algebra $\langle A, \wedge, \to, 1\rangle$ of type $\langle2,2,0\rangle$ such that $\langle A, \wedge, 1\rangle$ is a bounded semilattice and the following six conditions hold for all $a, b, c\in A$: $1\to a = a$, $a\to a \geq 1$, $(a \to b)\wedge (a\to c) = a\to (b\we...

I placed birds (as instances) on wires, but they are all facing the same direction. How can I make some of them randomly face different directions (some facing the right, others the left)?

Consider the following ODE: $$ \frac{dx}{dt}(t) = f(t,x(t)) \tag{1} $$ where we are solving for the function $x : [0,\infty) \to \mathbb R$ with its first derivative described by the function $f : [0,\infty) \times \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$. My understanding is that all ODE solvers are essentially...

I could use some advice on getting our more publications, fast and cheap! I'm an engineer focused on support for scientific field research in the first year of my Postdoc at a University.

Hebrews 1:6 NIV And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.” If God brought his firstborn into the world from heaven instead of having his firstborn begin from earth, does this imply that the Son of God was firstborn in heaven among his b...

Here is an excerpt from Bach's first movement of Matthäuspassion. Note how the choral bass almost doubles the continuo, except for some small ornaments which are very much thematic; then it goes to diverge for a bar, then goes to 8ves and unisons. It's almost as if the continuo is the Schenkerian...

I need to know what is the proper order of resolving effects, when character is under effect of those: Mirror Image, Blur/Displacement, Entropic Shield. My GM argues that Mirror Image goes first and other effects only apply to the "real" one (so are only resolved if the "real" one is hit after ...

The story, as best I remember, is that an alien species (robotic) visits Earth. They discover a box in orbit around Earth with a human and revive him into a robot. He wants to visit Earth, which they oblige him but finding nothing alive they fly off and he goes with them. It was supposed to be a ...

During the 1964 cyclone, I heard that an entire train carrying more than 100 passengers was washed away by the tidal wave.

Recent adventures in the symmetric group algebra have led me to the following nice theorem: Theorem 1. Let $A$ be a rng (= nonunital associative ring). Let $J$ be a (two-sided) ideal of $A$. Assume that both rngs $J$ and $A/J$ are unital. Then, the rng $A$ is also unital. Much as I enjoyed prov...

The Catholic Church always has taught that Our Lord Alone redeemed mankind; and so, only through Him are salvation and Grace obtained. The term mediator means a "go-between."

Job 9:7 “Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.” What does that mean? I have read something similar in the Book of the prophet Isaiah but I'm just a layperson, with no experience really, and this is a difficult verse.
