I was reading the book (Almost) Impossible Integrals, Sums and Series. The author used a method involving taking partial derivatives of the Beta Function to solve some integrals. $$B(x,y)=\int_0^1u^{x-...

For a one-dimensional $f(x)$, the dilation operator $f(ax)$ can be expressed as $\exp(g(D))f(x)$, where $g$ is a closed-form function. This is easily checked by e.g. formal Taylor series expansion. ...

Consider a twice differentiable 1-strongly convex function $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$. Is it true that there exists $\alpha>0$ independent of $n$ such that, for all $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$: \...

Let $\mathbb R^d$ and let $\mu = p(dx)$ be a probability distribution thereupon, with density $p$ (which maybe assumed bounded, etc.). For a continuously differentiable function $f:\mathbb R^d \to \...

Here is a list of vector calculus identities; in the proof of these identities, we all assume that these functions are $𝐶^𝑘$ in an open set, and we usually use these identities to calculate ...

Let $f:\mathbb R^d \to \mathbb R$ be a continuously differentiable function and let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb R^d$. Question. What is the standard teminology for the quantity $\|\...
