Sets Definition and 1000 Threads

I am having a hard time understanding the discussion of chaotic sets on invariant manifolds as given in Chaos in Dynamical Systems by Edward Ott. If the invariant manifold of a particular system contains a chaotic attractor ##A##, then the transverse Lyapunov exponent ##h## will generally...

Difference between manual drain air sets (filter regulators) and auto drain air sets?

I tried saying z = x + iy, then squared both sides so that I would get something that looked like: |z - i|^2 + |z + i|^2 + |z - i||z + i| = 3, where the first two terms are simple but the third term is what I don't know what to do with. I'm wondering if I'm using the wrong approach. For that...

Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms - the Axiom of Choice (ZFC), is conceptually incoherent. To me, they stole Cantor’s brilliant work and minimized it. Replies?

The uncountable sets [0,1] and [0,2] have the same cardinality ##2^{\aleph_0}##. Yet the second set is twice as big as the first set, in the sense of measure theory. Is there something similar for countable sets, by which we can say that the set of integers is twice as big as the set of odd...

I am trying to learn some topology and was looking at a problem in the back of the book asking to show that a topological space with the property that all set are closed is a discrete space which, as understand it, means that all possible subsets are in the topology and since all subsets are...

{1, 2 ,3} = {1, 2, 3, 3, III}? {1, 2 ,3} = {one, dos, three}? {Tom, Dick, Harry} = {Thomas, Richard, Harrison}? Seems to me, these are undetermined until the set's "type" or "category" definition of its members is defined so as to determine what elements are members of the set... whether...

The interval ##[0,1]## of real numbers has a non-zero measure. The set of all rational numbers in the interval ##[0,1]## has zero measure. But there are also sets that are somewhere in between, in the sense that their measure is neither zero nor non-zero. They are sets for which measure is not...

1. I consider this problem algebraically, ##c\cdot \vec{u}+(1-c)\cdot \vec{v}=c(1,2)+(1-c)(2,1)=(c,2c)+(2-2c,1-c)=(2-c,1+c)##; since the constraint I know is ##c\geq 0##, I can conclude the expected vectors##(x,y)## must have ##x\leq2, y\geq 1##. 2. Similarly, I get...

Dear all, I have two small questions regarding operations on sets. (1) Prove that \[A\subseteq B\subseteq C\] if and only if \[A\cup B=B\cap C\]. (2) What can you say about sets A and B if \[A\B = B\] ? In the case of (1), I have used a Venn diagram and I understand why it is true, but...
