Can someone please tell me how to make this formula undefined at x>2? No piecewise functions and no domain restrictions. The problem on my placement test just had an absolute value graph reflected over the x-axis, the graph stopped after x>2. The formula I came up with was y= -2*|x|....there has to be a rational expression or something in the denominator that makes the graph undefined

Ah ok...so my turn to ask a question. If S, T are linear operators on a finite dimensional vector space V, I have to show ST and TS have the same eigenvalues. For an eigenvalue c of ST, some non-zero eigenvector v of V is such that STv = cv. Then TS(Tv) = T(STv) = cTv, so Tv is in V, so if Tv is non-zero, it is an eigenvector of TS.

However if Tv = 0, then STv = 0. So c = 0. So in the case that the eigenvalue c IS 0, how can I show that it is an eigenvalue of TS as well? Thanks anons

Just notice that sqrt(2-x) is not defined when 2-x is negative, that is, when x>2. Also, sqrt(2-x)/sqrt(2-x) = 1 for all x less than or equal to 2, but undefined for x>2. Multiply this to any function and its domain becomes implicitly restricted to (-inf,2]. Sound ok?

>>10845957
You can also use other functions which have an implied domain restriction by the way. sqrt is the most obvious one, but even things like taking the 4th root, 6th root, even roots. What this does as above is to restrict the domain to (-inf,2]

Functions like log or ln will be much more useful if you want to restrict your domain to an open interval. If I wanted to restrict to (-inf,2) I could multiply by log(2-x)/log(2-x) because log is undefined for negative values and 0.

These 2 functions along with linear factors like (x-a)/(x-a) should be enough to restrict domains to subsets of R with as many undefined points as you like.

>> No.10845990

So some small questions to see if you got me:

1) Find a function f such that f(x) = sinx for all real x with the exception that, if x = -3 or x >= 1, f is undefined.

2a) consider the function f(x) = [x], known as the floor function. For all real x, [x] is the largest integer that is less than or equal to x. For example, f(2) = 2, f(3.14) = 3, f(-2.3) = -3. Draw a sketch of f on the interval [-3, 3].

Let g(x) = x - [x]; draw the graph of g, and convince yourself that x - [x] = 0 if and only if x is an integer. What is the domain of the function (1/g) defined by (1/g)(x) = 1/(x - [x])?

2b) find a function h such that h(x) = sinx, except when x is an integer multiple of pi. i.e. h undefined at ..., -pi, 0, pi, 2pi,...

geometry question

I've been practicing with differential forms, and I want to check that the following is true:

Consider a hypersurface parameterized by some subset R of R(n-1) in Rn using r:R(n-1)->Rn. I can associate vector fields F on Rn with (n-1) forms in a way such that dF=div F: use the basis (-1)^i dx(I\i), where dx(I\i) is the wedge of every dxj in order, except for i; then, associate the ith coordinate of F(p) with a coefficient in front of (-1)^idx(I\i).

Now, my question is about pulling F back along r. You get what looks a lot like a cross product of the (n-1) partial derivative vectors of r in each variable of R(n-1). Comparing this to the divergence theorem, it seems like this should be the field of vectors normal to the surface.

a) Is this true? (i.e. is r*(F1 dx2dx3...dxn-F2dx1dx3... +(-1)^n dx1...dx(n-1))=F*normal?)
b) Is there an easy way to show it without resorting to coordinate computations?

Hey anon, I don't know how to use that argument but I think I got it. I only know some very small real analysis so metric space type arguments are not in my alley.

Here's my argument. If ST has eigenvalue 0, then it is not injective so it is non-invertible. So at least one of S and T is non-invertible as well, such that TS is non invertible, so non-injective. From which it can be gleaned that TS(x) = TS(y) for some x,y in V where x =/= y. Then TS(x - y) = 0, and x-y =/= 0, so 0 is an eigenvalue of TS.

that's correct, but to clean up your argument recall that a matrix is injective if and only if its kernel/nullspace is 0. so once you get TS is non injective you immediately know there is a nonzero vector x such that TSx = 0. of course your proof merely contains the proof of one direction of the injective/nullspace result, so you're still totally right.

Why does the subspace have to be f(0)=0 (pass through origin) and cant it be like any random 0 outside of the origin? Last 2 lines of pic related, this is like first 10 pages and theres nothing explaining why f(0) has to be 0, and i only recall somethinh like that on linear applications which isnt the same as subspace

What's the best way to review freshman Calculus series? From single and multivariable to vector calculus. I used Stewart's text, should I just pop that bad boy open and try exercises at random? I don't want to get caught up in hairy details and spend 6 months reviewing, so I'm adverse to going chapter by chapter and would instead like to overview high level concepts and make sure I can solve basic problems from each section, and maybe a few harder exercises too. Sound good?

If you want more expositions on what is called 'elementary algebra' (aka high school / college algebra, not modern or abstract algebra), see "Elementary Algebra for Schools by Knight and Hall" or "Elements of Algebra by Euler". What is probably more up you're alley though are these, coupled with some of Gelfand's elementary books:

What does "The subspace is f(0)=0" even mean?
If you mean "Why does f being linear implies that f(0)=0", then that's because f(0)=f(0+0)=f(0)+f(0), and by cancelling from each side you get f(0)=0
If you mean "Why does a subspace have to contain 0", then that's pretty much straight from the definition of subspace.

area of AOB = 1/2 * AB * r, same for other sides
from this you can obtain (AB + BC + AC)/BC = area(ABC) / area(BOC)
draw heights AG and OH in triangles ABC and BOC
area(ABC) / area(BOC) = AG / OH
from tales AG / OH = AA1 / OA1

thus we have (AB + BC + AC)/BC = AA1 / OA1, easy to turn into desired eq.

IT IS ASSUMED (BY THE QUESTION NOT BY ME) THAT
[math]\frac{f(0) - g'(0)}{g'(1) - f(1)} > 0[/math]

IF [math]g'(0)[/math] HAS A DISCONTINUITY THEN BECAUSE [math]g(0)[/math] IS DIFFERENTIABLE IT HAS TO BE A NON-EXISTENCE AND NOT A JUMP CONTINUITY, FOR EXAMPLE CONSIDER SINGULARITY DISCONTINUITIES AT 0 AND 1, IF [math]lim_{x \rightarrow 0}g'(x) = \infty[/math] THEN SINCE [math]f[/math] IS CONTINUOUS THE NOMINATOR WILL DOMINATE SO THE ONLY POSSIBILITY IS [math]lim_{x \rightarrow +0}g'(x) = - \infty[/math], SIMILARLY AT THE DENOMINATOR THE ONLY POSSIBILITY IS [math]lim_{x \rightarrow 1}g'(x) = \infty[/math]

HOWEVER, AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART, YOU SEWERRAT RAPING HARPY SPAWN. SINCE THERE HAS TO BE A (AT LEAST CONTINUOUS IF NOT DIFFERENTIABLE) SUBDOMAIN IN THE DOMAIN [math]c \in (0, 1)[/math] WHERE [math]g'[/math] EXIST AND IS CONTINUOUS (AGAIN BECAUSE THERE ARE NO JUMP DISCONTINUITIES) WHEREIN THE THEOREM CAN BE APPLIED.

COOL.

THEREFORE WE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE PARTS WHERE THE FUNCTION [math]g'[/math] IS CONTINUOUS IN THE DOMAIN, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CONTINUOUS ACROSS THE WHOLE DOMAIN of c, BUT ANY SUBDOMAIN WILL DO. IN FACT YOU SYPHILIS INFECTED, YELLOW TEETH, FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME CUNTS MADE ME DOUBT MYSELF ENOUGH TO CHECK, BUT EVEN THE FUCKING WIKIPEDIA PAGE (WHICH DOES NOT CONTAIN THE MOST GENERALISED THEOREM) CONFIRMS THIS, READ HERE THE LIMITS CAN EQUAL INFINITY OR MINUS INFINITY:

Okay I don’t know if you’re trolling or retarded, but none of what you wrote is an argument. You cannot have "nonexistence" of g’ at a point since g is assumed differentiable everywhere, but g’ may not be continuous. As a consequence, you cannot have g’ diverge to infinity in the neighborhood of a point either (otherwise, we would get a jump discontinuity).
Of course, g’ cannot be non-continuous everywhere. That is not possible.
But you still cannot apply the IVT or MVT directly.

Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. If you left multiply by [math] S^{-1} [/math] on the right side of your equation you also need to left multiply by it on the left side. So [math] S^{-1}AS=L[/math] is the correct answer.

'sup /sci/, quick question.

In my set theory class we've defined the following concepts, for a given linear order X:
(#) A subset Y ⊆ X is said to be cofinal, if for every x ∈ X there exists some y ∈ Y such that x ≤ y.
(#) The cofinality of X is defined to be the least cardinal k such that there exists a cofinal subset of X whose cardinality is k.

It is then stated in my book (without explanation) that cof(ℵ) is uncountable, where ℵ denotes the cardinality of the continuum.

But why is that? Seems to me that the natural numbers form a subset of the reals that is cofinal. Why, then, is it not the case that cof(ℵ) = ω? What have I missed?

elementary measure theory is one of the most obvious possible things you can think of. the instant you see the cantor set for the first time, as an analyst, your first thought should be "well how long is it?" and once you see within 4 seconds that it should have length 0, your second thought should be "can i make one with nonzero length?"
from there, all you need to get basic measure theory and the lebesgue integral is autism and dedication. there are absolutely no creative ideas, except when you get to showing L^p duals and perhaps picking the "right" generality for a measure to capture the dual of the continuous functions on a compact hausdorff space.

A separable space admits a countable dense subset.
For a cardinality a, an "a-separable" space admits a dense set with cardinality a. This name is made up, and I'm pretty sure there's a better name for it, but it still feels simple enough to get what it is by the name.

I had this autistic proof in my head where you took the countable set, ordered it, and took a series f_n of maps that send the point x to an open set that contains x and doesn't contain all other points up to n. The union of all the images is countable, and simply selecting a point in each open set "should" have given a nice restriction, but I completely fucked up since that union isn't necessarily a base (for intuitive purposes, picture all the rationals except 0, and we just take increasingly smaller sets around them, except the entire thing still doesn't contain zero).
Anyhow, wikipedia confirmed it false, so it wasn't just the proof.

No the Lebesgue integral is not a trivial matter, especially on R. Yes, the theory (of abstract Lebesgue integration) is easy but it is easy because it has been distilled over a half a century. Moreover, the existence of the Lebesgue measure on R is absolutely nontrivial and the construction and proof are clever.
The idea of the inner and outer measures is smart (although, yes, intuitive enough that one could come up with it on their own), and proving that they do define a measure is tricky.

i never said you had to discover the fucking cantor set, lol. i said the first natural question to ask when someone introduces it to you is "how long is it", and in answering this question any freshman will have already created the outer measure. of course they will not go through the painstaking formalism to show it works, but it is anything but a creative idea. coming up with the right definitions is nothing but the result of playing with what you're using for a little bit and seeing what works. sure, you might not capture dirac measures and such the first time, or notions of sigma-finiteness, etcetera. but the general gist of measure theory is extremely intuitive.
i mean come the fuck on dude, measure theory is the obvious foundation for one of the most intuitively accessible types of mathematics, probability. if you go "wow, i know how to compute the probability of an event from a finite set of events... wonder how to do it from an infinite set" you're going to come up with something extremely close to measure theory every time.

Measure theory is extremely intuitive, but it's foundations aren't. In the sense that the axiomatic construction of measures doesn't really illustrate how you can get certain results. I guess like in topology most can be constructed from studying measurable functions, as their properties are what permit you to really define the key objects of the theory, and random variables are just this. But well, the historical development was much more different, as Lebesgue motivation was really just looking for ways to generalize integration to arbitrary subsets.

The invariants developed with TQFT is not strong enough to detect the geometric details required for quantum gravity. Geometric quantization works well for systems with finite-dimensional gauge groups [math]G[/math] as long as
1. the symplectic manifold is Kahler or hyper-Kahler so you have a holomorphic structure compatible with the symplectic structure and you can do holomorphic quantization, and
2. you can find a moment map [math]M\rightarrow \operatorname{Lie}G[/math] that generates local operators under Kostant central extension.
Both of these fail for gravity outside of dimension 2.

i typically get up between 8 and 9, and i don't drink coffee. once in a while i have some tea or a smoothie. the main thing is that i go to sleep at around midnight every night, if not 11. i try to stay fairly consistent with that schedule, and i usually find that i'm tired enough to fall asleep by midnight especially when i put work in during the day and then spend the evening doing whatever i like and thinking about problems which i hadn't solved during the day.
it's not hard to keep such a schedule once you get yourself into the pattern, like anything. the thing that's tough is that people like to put off work, and then it's risky to go to sleep and have to finish it in the morning when you might have less time than you'd like. this is solved by just starting on things way earlier than you think you'll need to. such applies to any sort of mathematics (courses, now research, and i would imagine to a degree teaching as well)

I always felt that a big motivation for functional analysis was calculus of variations, but even modern graduate books seem to not use of it's results fully. I was surprised when reading pic related, that in the brief part that mentions clasical actions and all that stuff, that it actually makes an analysis of the problem using Sobolev spaces, Lp spaces in general and abstract measure theory which was kinda a huge relief. It even mentions the frechet derivative which I always wanted to use and I could prove E-L in it's functional form with the direct definition and basic measure theory. Is there a book that takes this approach to calculus of variations?

Does an unique analytical solution to a set a of differential equations imply that the system is an actual natural phenomena, eg. the prey predator model is an oversimplification, or is it the other way around where only those systems which cannot be analytically solved are actual physical phenomena?

You can develop plenty of C.O.V with just regular calculus and thd fundamental lemma.

How do I solve this problem?
[math]
S_{n+1}={S_n-1\over{x^{2n-3}}}\\S_1=\lim_{n->\infty}S_n
[/math]

I was trying to solve
[math]\sum^\infty_{n=0}x^{n^2}[/math]
And that recursion came out as a way to represent S_1 in terms of itself

Probably.
I'm not sure I'd be able to solve the third degree polynomial to get the eigenvalue since I haven't memorised Cardano's and will hardly derivate it on the spot.

What company? The questions don't have a whole lot of depth and a guy with a Bachelor's in Math should be able to answer all of those provided he actually did well in his courses.
