### A question related to Bernoulli trial

I'm thinking a Bernoulli process $X_1, X_2, X_3, ...$ that stops when $n\left( X=0 \right)+2n\left( X=1 \right)\ge A$, where $n(X=0)$ and $n(X=1)$ are the number of 0 and 1 in the sequence ...

### Massive cancellations

Let $A=\{a_1,\ldots,a_k\}$ be a fixed, finite set of reals. Let $S_A(n)$ be the set of all reals that are expressible as the sum of at most $2^n$ terms, where each term is a product of at most $n$ ...

### P - bounded polyhedron, L - linear map. Show that L(P) is a bounded polyhedron

Can anyone help me with the following proof please? Let $P = \{x\in \mathbb{R}^n \ | \ Ax\leq b\}$ be a bounded polyhedron. Let $L:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^k$ be a linear map. Show that ...

### Bound on change of function given bound on Hessian

Suppose I have very some smooth function $F(x)$, and let $x_0 = \text{argmin}_x F(x)$. I would like to bound $F(x) - F(x_0)$ from above, in terms of the gradient $\nabla f(x)$ and the Hessian matrix ...

### “Semiclassical approximation” in random matrix theory

I am reading Planar Diagrams by Brezin, Parisi, Itzykson and Zuber. If you specialize the discussion in section 5 there we seem to derive the eigenvalue distribution of $N \times N$ random Hermitian ...

### Let Z be the set of integers, and consider the function f : Z → Z defined f(x) = 2x. Which of the following is correct? [on hold]

a) f is invertible b) f is injective c) f is bijective d) f is surjective I put b, though apparently that's wrong. Thanks :)

### translation invariance of the Laughlin wave function

This is a translation into math of the following question, posted on PhysicsOverflow. Let $H:=L^2(\mathbb C)$. For every $N$, let $\psi_N\in\Lambda^N H\cong (L^2(\mathbb C^N))^{S_N}$ be the function ...

### Calculating Swaps and Swaptions [on hold]

Hi all I have a problem when I have to calculate swaps/swaptions. n=10-period binomial model for the short-rate, ri,j. The lattice parameters are: r0,0=5%, u=1.1, d=0.9 and q=1−q=1/2. 1.Compute the ...

### Reference for a strong intermediate value theorem for measures

Let $\mu$ be a finite nonatomic measure on a measurable space $(X,\Sigma)$, and for simplicity assume that $\mu(X) = 1$. There is a well-known "intermediate value theorem" of Sierpiński that states ...

### On multilinear linear combinations

If $K$ is algebraically closed field, then consider $m$ multilinear polynomials $f_i$ for $i=\{1,\dots,m\}$ in $K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ of degree $d_i$ each with no common root. We know there exists $g_i$ ...

### Free action of $\mathbb{Z}(2^{\infty})$ on a compact space

Assume that $X$ is a Hausdorff compact space such that $\forall n\in \mathbb{N}$, we have a free action of $\mathbb{Z/{2^{n}}\mathbb{Z}}$ on $X$. Can $Z(2^{\infty})$ act freely on $X$? Note ...

### Number of graphs with M edges that does not contain K-clique

If we consider the space of graphs $G(n,M)$ where $M$ denotes the number of edges. Is there any known way of calculating the number of graphs within this space that does not contain any k-cliques? Can ...

### Nuclearity noncommutative torus

I read that the Noncommutative torus (rotation algebra) is nuclear when $\theta\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}$. Unfortunately, I haven't found a proof. Could someone give me a reference and/or an ...

### spectral sequence of a bicomplex equipped with a group action

Let $(A_1^\bullet,\partial_1)$ and $(A_2^\bullet,\partial_2)$ be complexes of $\mathbb{C}$-vector spaces. We suppose that $(A_1^\bullet,\partial_1)$ and $(A_2^\bullet,\partial_2)$ are equipped with ...
Suppose I have a 1D advection equation in conservation (divergence) form $\partial_t u(x,t) = -\partial_x [v(x)u(x,t)],$ where $u$ is a conserved quantity in space, and $v$ gives the velocity of the ...
