Consider the differential equation on $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose polar-coordinate representation is given by $$ \begin{array}{r c l} \dot{r} & = & r(\alpha - r^2) \\ \dot{\theta} & = & -sin(\theta).\end{arr …

Let $V$ be a normed vector space, let $l \in V$, and let $(a_n)$ be a sequence in $V$. We say that $a_n$ is Cesàro-convergent to $l$ if $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n a_i \to l$ as $n\to\infty$. Now I will …

This question was asked on Math.SE here, but received no replies after several months. So I have posted it here, though with somewhat revised structuring of the question. Let $V$ be a real vector s …

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, and let $\{\mu_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}}$ be a family of Borel probability measures on $X$. Fix $L \geq 1$. I will say that $\mu_n$ converges in op …

Is there a name for a partial order $\preceq$ on a set $X$ with the following property: "there exists a countable set $S \subset X$ such that for all $x \in X$ there exists $y \in S$ with $x \preceq y …

I'm not so good on geometry, so I fear this is a relatively basic question. For any $N \in \mathbb{N}$, let us identify the tangent bundle of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $\mathbb{R}^{2N}$ in the obvious manne …

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold with volume measure $\lambda$, let $f \colon M \to M$ be a diffeomorphism, and let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $M$ with compact support. As stated in the questio …

Let $X$ be a Polish space, and $\mu$ a locally finite measure. Take any $p \in \{0\} \cup [1,\infty)$. We will say that a linear operator $T \colon L^p(\mu) \to L^p(\mu)$ has property $(\ast)$ if ever …

[So for example, under this terminology, we have the statement (from Wikipedia), "A poset is locally finite if every interval is finite." …

Let $X$ be a Banach space, and for any compactly supported Borel probability measure $\mathbb{P}$ on $X$, define the mean $\mu_\mathbb{P}$ by $\mu_\mathbb{P}=\int_X x \, \mathbb{P}(dx)$. I want to say …
