H: Schwarz Inequality for Riemann-integrable I want to show the Schwarz inequality, $$ \left(\int_Qfg\right)^2\le\int_Qf^2\int_Qg^2, $$ for Riemann-integrable functions $f:Q\subset\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$, where $Q$ is a rectangle. But in the case where $\int_Qf^2 = 0$ I'm not seeing how to get $\int_Qfg=0$ from it....
H: Congruence mod p involving a product Let $p$ be a prime, $p\equiv 3$ mod $4$. Numerically it appears that $$ \prod_{n=1}^{p-1}\left(1+n^2\right)\equiv 4\mod p. $$ How can one prove this? For $p\equiv 1$ mod $4$, the product is $0$ mod $p$ because $-1$ is a quadratic residue. AI: Let's work over the finite field $\B...
H: How are accumulation points related to topologies? Is it possible to have two topologies, one strictly finer than the other, yet all of the accumulation points are the same? AI: Since the closure of a set is the union of the set with the set of its accumulation points, if all accumulation points of all sets are the...

H: Is there a closed formula for the sum of a geometric progression with binomial coefficients? The title asks it all. $$\sum_{i=0}^n{n\choose i}x^{i+1}=?$$ AI: The binomial theorem gives $$(1+x)^n = \sum_{i=0}^n \binom n i x^i.$$ So your sum in question is simply $x(1+x)^n$.

My Attempt I assumed $(2n+2 )| (13n^2+n)$ implies existence of integer $k$ such that $$13n^2+n=k(2n+2)$$ $\implies\ 13n^2+(1-2k)n-2k=0$ $\implies\ n=\frac{(2k...
H: What would the notation for this binary string look like? Every block of 1's of length $\ge 4$ cannot be followed by a block of 0's of length $\ge 4$, and any block of 1s of length 1, 2 or 3 must be followed by a block of 0s whose length is congruent to 1 mod 4. The answer I came up with is this: $$\{0\}^*\{(1111)(...
H: Dose convergence in integral and measure imply convergence in L Suppose a sequence of function $f_n \mapsto f$ converges in measure and in integral. by integral I mean $\int f_n \,d\mu \mapsto \int f \,d\mu$. Does that mean they converge in L1. It seems not entire true to me e.g. consider $f$ with compact support w...
H: Proving $A - B \subset A - (B - A)$ I believe I have been able to prove that for sets $A$ and $B$, $A - (B - A) \supset A - B$, but my proof is not particularly elegant. I was hoping someone knew of a more clever or straightforward way to show this. My proof is: Let $x \in A - B$. Then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in B...

If $\operatorname{ker} T \neq \{0\}$, prove that there's a linear transformation $S: V \rightarrow V$ such that $S$ is not the ze...
H: Why traditional equation solving method gives different answer for some problems? This question arose when I tried solving one of the math problems below, Question: The average monthly income of Rakesh and Suresh is Rs. 5050.

H: Is the pushforward of flow equal to its time derivate? Let $X \in \Gamma(M)$ with $\Phi^{X}_{t}(p)$ as the one parameter group at a point $p \in M$. I believe that in general the equality $$T_p\Phi^{X}_{t_0}(X_p)=X_{\Phi^{X}_{t_0}(p)}=(\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Phi^{X}_{t}(p))(t_0)$$ (i.e. $(\Phi^{X}_{t_0})_*(X_p...
H: What is the derivative of the following integral? Consider the vector $(a_M, a_S) \in R^2_{+}$. Vector components are drawn from a joint log-normal distribution $G(a_M, a_S)$ with mean $(\mu_M,\mu_S)$ and covariance matrix $\Sigma$. Now, I have the following expression $$N_M(W_M)=\int^{\infty}_0 \int^{a_MW_M}_0 a_...
H: LC differential equation I want to solve the differential equation for the charge of an LC circuit: $$d^{2} Q / d t^{2}+(1 / L C) Q=0$$ I create the characteristic equation: $$\mu^{2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{LC}}=0 \Rightarrow \mu^{2}=-\frac{1}{\mathrm{LC}} \Rightarrow \mu = \pm i \sqrt{\frac{1}{\mathrm{LC}}}= \pm i w_0\\...

H: $2^X$ separable $\implies$ $X$ separable Let $X$ be a $T_1$ space and let $2^X$ have the Vietoris topology. I know from an article that $2^X$ is separable only if $X$ is separable, but the article omits the proof as it is apparently obvious. Given $D$ is a countable dense subset of $2^X$, how can I derive a countab...

H: Contour Integral of $\frac{1}{1+e^z}$ How do I calculate $\displaystyle\int_{C_1(1)}(1+e^z)^{-1}\text{d}z$? I have tried parametrizing $C_1(1)$ by $z=1+e^{i\theta}$ with $\theta \in [0,2\pi]$, but this does not help much as I would have a double exponential. Any ideas on how to progress are welcome. AI: That integr...

H: Use of Bernoulli equation $x^2y' +2xy=y^3$ I am not sure what am I doing wrong here, I have $$x^2y'+2xy=y^3$$ I should apply the Bernoulli equation, so I mark $$z=\frac{1}{y^2}$$ $$z' = -\frac{2y'}{y^3}$$ $$-\frac{z'}{2} = \frac{y'}{y^3}$$ Now I just substitute $z$ and I get $$-\frac{x^2z'}{2}+2xz=1$$ How I should ...
