For β- we have:
##M(A,Z)>M(A,Z+1) + m_{e} - m_{e}##
An electron is removed from the atom and therefore we need to take that away from the M(A,Z+1) term
But for β+ we have been given:
##M(A,Z)>M(A,Z+1) + m_{e} + m_{e}##
What is this saying? A positron is emitted, therefore shouldn't we minus...

Hi all!
I was wondering what the necessary condition is for two arbitrary matrices, say A and B, to commute: AB = BA.
I know of several sufficient conditions (e.g. that A, B be diagonal, that they are symmetric and their product is symmetric etc), but I can't think of a necessary one.
Thanks...
Hi,
My final goal is to solve numerically Schrodinger's equation in 3D with some potential for the unbounded states, meaning that far away from the potential (at infinity) we may find a free wave and not something that goes to zero.
The basic idea is that I have a particle in (0,0,0) that...

The local Lipschitz condition is the following:Let $c>0$ and $f \in C([a,b] \times [y_0-c, y_0+c])$.
If $f$ satisfies in $[a,b] \times [y_0-c,y_0+c]$ the Lipschitz criterion as for $y$, uniformly as for $t$,

I want to find the exact solution of the recurrence relation: $T(n)=2T(\sqrt{n})+1$.$$m=\lg n \Rightarrow 2^m=n \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2^{\frac{m}{2}}=\sqrt{n}$$
So we have: $T(2^m)=2T(2^{\frac{m}{2}})+1$
We set $T(2^m)=S(m)$, so we get: $S(m)=2S \left( \frac{m}{2}\right)+1$...

So say I have Pr(Z|X&Y)
