Interior Definition and 149 Threads

I've heard of issues in low pressure chemical reactors where the interior scaling might flake off when a vacuum is pulled. Which principles govern this? I know it has to do with internal shear forces and am wondering if a vessel wall would ever split in half. I saw this related...

i was given that A= B(0,1)={x in R^2| 2-norm of x is less than 1} show that x in R^p is an interior point of A iff x in A my work i managed to prove this one way and struggling with the other, well a bit confused i said assume that x is an interior pt of A then: B(x,r) is a subset of A. but x...

So basically I'm in the 1st year of EE and we're going to design the wiring diagram. Pretty much all we put at this stage are grounded electricity sockets, lights, water heater, and the oven. The problem is that the book that I've gotten from my school is 95% about mechanical drawings, which...

I am just wondering - is space-time curvature in the presence of energy-momentum ( i.e. in interior solutions to the EFEs ) always pure Ricci in nature ? I had a discussion recently with someone who claimed that, but personally I would suspect that not to be the case in general, since I see no...

Hi All, I am interested in the discussion in section 10.5 of Schutz's First Course in GR book. Specifically, the conditions at r = 0 of a static, spherically symmetric interior star (or whatever) solution e.g. Schwarzschild interior solution. He argues that by enforcing local flatness one...

Homework Statement For S \subset Rn, prove that S° is open. Homework Equations S° are all interior points of S. The Attempt at a Solution My class has only learned how to use balls to solve these types of problems (no metric spaces). So I need to choose an ε > 0 so that Bε(x) \subset...

Are Finkelstein/Kruskal interior black hole solutions compatible with Einstein's GR? This topic is a spin-off from a number of recent discussions: "Are "flowing space" models compatible with GR?" "Schwartzchild and Synge once again" "Oppenheimer-Snyder model of star collapse" "Notions of...

Are the interior and exterior solutions described on a common manifold? I mention it because the exterior one is an asymptotically flat space while the interior solution is conformally flat. I'm not sure if a single physical scenario (the vacuum soulution) can be described by two different...

A^closure = X\(X\A)^interior I am REALLY bad at proofs. I never know where to start. I only have the definitions of closure and interior. I feel like they threw us in the deep end I've written like 3pages, but mostly just pictures. interior: a is an element of A^int iff there exists r>0...

Greetings all, I'm looking at some examples in the Topology: Pure and Applied text. Looking at example 2.1 Consider A=[0,1) as a subset of R with the standard topology. Then Aint=(0,1) and Aclos=[0,1]. Can someone explain to me why the union of all open sets in A is that...
