Maximizing trace of $\mathrm V^T \mathrm A \mathrm V$ for $\mathrm A$ symmetric (alternate proof with min/max-theorem)
I'm trying to work out a proof for the following proposition:
Let $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ a real, symmetric matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \lambda_2 \ge \cdots \ge \lambda_n$, then
$$\max \...

How to show that the trace of a regularized Laplacian defined on two sphere with radius $h\geq 1$ is diverging logarithmically?
Let $h,m\in[1,\infty)$. I would like to verify that the following sum diverges logarithmically
\begin{equation}
\sum_{d=0}^{\infty} \frac{2d+1}{2h^2(1+\frac{d(d+1)}{h^2})(1+\frac{d(d+1)}{h^2m ^2})^{2}}...
