Hi! Please, could you help me on how to solve the following matrix ?
I need to replace the value 3 on the third line by 0, the first column need to remain zero and 1 for the third column. I'm having a lot of difficulties with this. How would you proceed ?

I know a laser is generally treated as a coherent state (i.e. a plane wave). However, if a laser turns on and back off quickly, can the resulting light be treated as a gaussian multiplied by the plane wave that would have been emitted if the laser were continually active?
All resources I’ve found for grating resolving power assume uniform distribution on the grating and produce airy disks. Resolvance is determined by the Rayleigh criterion where the peak of one wavelength is at the minima of the adjacent one. This definition doesn’t seem applicable for Gaussian...
How do I approach the following problem while only knowing the PSD of a Gaussian random sequence (i.e. I don't know the exact distribution of $V_k$)? Or am I missing something obvious?
Problem statement:
Thoughts:
I know with the PSD given, the autocorrelation function are delta functions due...
Let ##a, b##, and ##c## be real numbers such that ##a## and ##c## are positive and ##ac > b^2##. Evaluate the double integral $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-ax^2 - 2bxy - cy^2}\, dx\, dy$$
Hi!
Say i have two variables that have independent gaussian distributions of probability of being a certain value when i sample them, what is the likely hood that both will land on a 3 sigma value simultaneously? Is there an equation that easily determines that? Also for other combinations like...
Using this error propagation formula:
I expressed the standard deviation (s) and the partial derivatives of s w.r.t. each data point as:
This gives me an uncertainty of:

Part (A): The matrix is a singular matrix because the determinant is 0 with my calculator.
Part (B): Once I perform Gauss Elimination with my pivot being 0.6 I arrive at the last row of matrix entries which are just 0's. So would this be why Gauss Elimination for partial pivoting fails for this...

I've been trying to find a way to calculate Gaussian curvature from a 4D metric tensor. I found a program that does this in Mathematica using the Brioschi formula. However, this only seems to work for a 2D metric or formula (I would need to use something with more dimensions). I've found...
Does anyone know a C# class that can return a value (0 - 100 percentage) of How close a perfect gaussian curve an 2D Matrix is? for example, these would all return a 100%:
I found this identity: ##x\int e^{-x^2} dx - \int \int e^{-x^2} dx dx = e^{-x^2}/2## by solving the integral of ##x*e^{-x^2}## and then finding its integration-by-parts equivalent. Is this identity useful at all?
A few questions about doing a Gaussian Fit :
1) Is gaussian fit and gaussian regression the same thing ?
2) I have a gaussian function that will return a list of gaussian numbers giving an initial list length. So if you input 5 you will get:

My question is if I have an image and I...
If I have a point charge q right outside of a gaussian surface, it makes sense that the flux is zero inside the surface because the electric field going in equals the electric field going out. However, how would the electric field be zero inside? Wouldn't it just take on the electric field of...
Hello! If I have N points (x,y) which I know they are described by a Gaussian i.e. y(x) is a Gaussian of unknown mean and standard deviation, and each y has an associated error of ##\sqrt{y}##, is there a general formula for the uncertainty on the mean of this function? Thank you!
Hi there!
I have a few related questions on Gaussian curvature (K) of surfaces and simply connected regions:
Suppose that K approaches infinity in the neighborhood of a point (x1,x2) . Is there any relationship between the diverging points of K and (non) simply connected regions?
If K diverges...
Hello, there. Suppose a Gaussian beam is sent and is received at a great large distance, i.e., the propagation distance ##z \gg z_R## the Rayleigh distance.
The Gaussian beam can be described by $$E_0 \frac {1}{w(z)} \exp \left ( \frac {-r^2}{w(z)^2}\right )\exp\left ( -i\left (kz+k\frac...

Hi,

I'd love have a little discussion about the Interior Schwarzschild Solution.

We know that Dirac Delta is not a function. However, I just talk about the numerical version of it that we use every day. We can simply represent the Dirac delta function as a limiting case of Gaussian distribution when the width of the distribution ##\sigma->0##.

Let us suppose we are given a Gaussian Distribution in the form of
$$p(x,y) \propto exp(-\frac{1}{2}x^2 - \frac{1}{2}by^2 - cxy)$$ What are the equations that I need to use to obtain Mutual Information ?
My attempt : $$P(n) = \frac{1}{\mathcal{Z}} Exp[(n\mu -E)/\tau]$$, use $$\lambda = e^{\mu/\tau}$$, then the distribution can be written as $$P(n) = \frac{1}{\mathcal{Z}} \lambda^nExp[-E/\tau]$$
Note that the average number of particle can be written as $$<N>= \lambda \partial \lambda ( log...

Hello,
