how take weak derivative of norms in hilbert spaces?
Let the following be hilbert spaces with dens inclusions $V ↪H=H^* ↪V^*$. Where $H^*$ and $V^*$ are the duals. $H$ has the product $(*,*)$ and $V×V^*$ has the product $⟨*,*⟩$.
Let $u∈L^2 ([0,T];V); ...

Limits of integral series
Suppose we have the series of functions:
\begin{equation}
F(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f_n(x)
\end{equation}
where convergence is uniform.
Additionally, consider the partial functions of the series:

Example(s) where replacing a multivariate, discrete RV with a single, univariate RV fail
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n,Y,Z$ be $n+2$ binary random variables and define $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$. In most problems, instead of treating $X$ as $n$ distinct binary random variables, there is no loss of ...

Determine the singular values of a compact operator in terms of the eigenvalues of an alternating tensor product of operators
Let $H$ be a $\mathbb R$-Hilbert space, $A\in\mathfrak L(H)$ be compact and $$|A|:=\sqrt{A^\ast A}$$ denote the square-root of $A$. By definition, the $k$th largest singular value $\sigma_k(A)$ of $A$ ...

Construct a probability function on the operator monotone functions, $g(t)=t g(t^{-1})$, fitting certain values
To immediately pose the question of interest to us, without first expanding upon its (quantum-information-theoretic) origin—we seek a univariate function $f$, for which we have the ("two-qubit ...

Is there a name for this family of integral?
This one: $\int_{0}^{\bar{x}}e^{-x^{a}}x^{b}(1-x)^{c}dx,a,b,c\ge0$. When $a=1,c=0,\bar{x}=\infty$ it is the gamma function.

Question regarding to the basis of L^p space via compact self adjoint operators. ( eg: inverse of -laplacian )
Do eigenfunctions of inverse of elliptic operator (eg: Laplacian) form basis of $L^P(\Omega)$ ? For p=2 we know the answer is yes, I am looking for p>2.
More generally, is it true that eigenfunctions ...

Strong estimates for the zeta function on natural numbers
Let $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s}$$
be the Riemann zeta function (here we just consider real $s$).
We do have a description given by
$$\zeta(s) = \frac{s}{s-1}-s\int_{1}^\infty \frac{...
