All Questions

Good morning everybody. First of all, I apologise to ask here the same question I asked on MSE three days ago, but I am in fact re-asking since I obtained no relevant advice. Perhaps I will hear some ...

$\newcommand{\S}{\mathbb{S}^1}$ $\newcommand{\la}{\lambda}$Let$$M=\{(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4) \in (\S)^4\,\, |\,\, \text{ all the } x_i \, \text{ are distinct}\} $$ Define $E:M \to \mathbb{R}$ by $$E(x_1,x_2,...

Suppose $P: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\ge 0} $ is a differentiable map, with $P(x) = 0 \ \forall x \in \mathcal{X}$ and $P(x) > 0 \ \forall x \in \mathcal{X}^c$. Further, suppose $P$ has ...

Let $h:\mathbb R^{>0}\to \mathbb R^{\ge 0}$ be a smooth function, satisfying $h(1)=0$, and suppose that $h(x)$ is strictly increasing on $[1,\infty)$, and strictly decreasing on $(0,1]$. Let $s&...

Let $f:\mathbb R^+ \to \mathbb R$ be a smooth function, satisfying $f(1)=0$, and suppose that $|f|$ grows with the distance from $1$: $|f(x)|$ is strictly increasing when $x \ge 1$, and strictly ...
