Homework Statement Prove that the union of a collection of indexed sets has finite diameter if the intersection of the collection is non-empty, and every set in the collection is bounded by a constant A. The Attempt at a Solution The picture I have is if they all intersect (and assuming...

We have this set of primes which is infinite. This has lots of different subsets. Here is the list of subsets: Real Eisenstein primes: 3x + 2 Pythagorean primes: 4x + 1 Real Gaussian primes: 4x + 3 Landau primes: x^2 + 1 Central polygonal primes: x^2 - x + 1 Centered triangular primes: 1/2(3x^2...

Hi everyone, a couple of technical questions : 1) Definition: Anyone know the definition of the induced orientation of a submanifold S of an orientable manifold M? 2)Dividing sets in contact manifolds: We have a contact 3-manifold (M3,ζ ). We define a surface S embedded in M3 to be a convex...

Let (E=]-1,0]\cup\left\{1\right\},d) metric space with d metric given by d(x,y)=|x-y|, and ||absolute value. How I can find open sets of E explicitly? Thanks in advance.

Cartesian product of indexed family of sets The definition of a Cartesian product of an indexed family of sets (X_i)_{i\in I} is \Pi_{i\in I}X_i=\left\{f:I \rightarrow \bigcup_{i \in I} \right\} So if I understand correctly, it's a function that maps every index i to an element f(i) such...

The problem statement Let ##\mu## be a measure defined on the Borel sets of ##\mathbb R^n## such that ##\mu## is finite on the compact sets. Let ##\mathcal H## be the class of Borel sets ##E## such that: a)##\mu(E)=inf\{\mu(G), E \subset G\}##, where ##G## is open...

We define by recursion the set of sets {An:n∈ℕ} this way: A_0=∅ A_n+1=A_n ∪ {A_n}. I want to prove by induction that for all n∈ℕ, the set A_n has n elements and that A_n is transitive (i.e. if x∈y∈A_n, then x∈A_n). My thoughts: for n=0, A_1 = ∅∪ {∅} = {∅} then, for n+1: A_n+2...

Homework Statement I have 2 sets, one with 5 elements (A) and the other two(B). How many onto functions can be made from A to B? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution My first thought is that it should be something like ##\frac{5!}{2!}=60##. I don't know if this is correct...

Show that the sets \{a,b\} and \{a, b, a-b\} of real vectors generate the same vector space. How to proceed with it? I guess the following expression is helpful. c1*a+c2*b+c3*(a-b)=(c1+c3)*a+(c2-c3)*b=k1*a+k2*b

If $G$ and $\left\{F(n): n \in \mathbb{K}\right\}$ are a family of sets, show that $\displaystyle G \cap \cap_{n \in \mathbb{K}}F(n) = \cap_{n \in \mathbb{K}}(F(n) \cap B).$ I said if $b$ is an ement of $\displaystyle G \cap \cap_{n \in \mathbb{K}}F(n)$ then $b$ is in both $G$ and $F(n)$ for...

I'm having trouble with the following: Let R be a relation on A. Prove that if Dom(R) \bigcap Range(R) = ø, then R is transitive. I took the negation of the "R is transitive" to try proof by contrapositive (as the professor suggested), and have the following: \exists x,y,z \in A s.t. (x,y)...

I'm writing the paper on this experiment I just did. Basically I took sets of data for two variables (x,y) and I fit the points to a line in Origin to extract the value that I was trying to measure (J). *Using generic variables here* I found a value for J where J = [8*∏*x*a(b+c)] / y I...

Suppose A and B are open sets in a topological Hausdorff space X.Suppose A intersection B is an empty set. Can we prove that A intersection with closure of B is also empty? Is "Hausdorff" condition necessary for that? Please help.

Homework Statement So if a question asks you for a pair set, with some criteria, is it enough to just say S = {a,b} or do you need something extra? Also this is another question that is from my set theory class, if the question defines a function and to solve over the Real numbers, ex...

Suppose A is a set with at least two elements and A\times A\sim A. Then \mathcal{P}(A)\times\mathcal{P}(A)\sim\mathcal{P}(A). My attempt: I know that \mathcal{P}((A\times A)\cup A)\sim\mathcal{P}(A\times A)\times\mathcal{P}(A)\sim\mathcal{P}(A) \times \mathcal{P}(A). How to prove that...

In definition 2.17 of Rudin's text, he says that a set E is convex if for any two points x and y belonging to E, (1−t)x+ty belongs to E when 0<t<1. I learned that this means the point is between x and y. But I'm not able to see this intuitively. Can anyone help me "see" this?

For any sets A,\ B,\ C, ^{(A\times B)}C\sim ^A\left(^BC\right). First I could not find a formula for the required function. Then I defined the set D_x=\{(y,z)\in B\times C\mid f(x,y)=z\}, where f\colon A\times B\to C. What do you think?

Am I right in thinking that if we have 3 sets A,B,C, then with A intersect B represented as AB, we have: A(B\C)=(AB)\C=B(A\C)?

I recently made a post on Linear and Abstract Algebra and used the following symbol {\bigcup}_{\Omega \subseteq \Gamma , | \Omega | \lt \infty} However, I really wanted (for neatness and clarity) to have the term {\Omega \subseteq \Gamma , | \Omega | \lt \infty} actually under the set...

I have two questions: I have a set of data, a measured spectrum. When I model the spectrum with a function, I calculate r2=1-(\sum(y-ymodel)2/\sum(y-yavg)2). Q1) However, I have reference data now, which is what the spectrum should be. So is it right to use the same calculation on it for...

Dummit and Foote, Exercise 20, Section 15.1 reads as follows: If f and g are irreducible polynomials in k[x,y] that are not associates (do not divide each other), show that \mathcal{Z} (f,g) is either the empty set or a finite set in \mathbb{A}^2 . I am somewhat overwhelmed by this...

I am trying to show that an open set in [0,1] is measurable, given that [0,x] is measurable set for each x in [0,1]. So I need to show (a,b) is measurable. Using the fact that measurable sets form a sigma algebra, I have managed to show that (a,b] is measurable. So (a,b+t] is measurable for any...

Hi, I was trying to plot two sets of data on the same graph and this was my solution but this generates a graph with the x-axis in 0.5 increments where I wanted 1. How do I plot two sets of data on the same graph and customize the increments. Thanks in advance. Also, how would I make MATLAB...

I am currently reading Munkres' book on topology, in it he defines an open sets as follows: "If X is a topological space with topology T, we say that a subset U of X is an open set of X if U belongs to the collection T." Firstly, are the open sets a property of the set X or the topological...

Prove that a set $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is (Lebesgue) measurable $\iff$ there exist a set $B$ which is an $F_{\sigma}$ and a set $C$ which is a $G_{\delta}$ such that $B\subset A\subset C$ and $C$~$B$ (C without B) is a null set. $F_{\sigma}$ is a countable union of closed sets, and...

For the following example:(if possible give example or just state impossible 1) a bounded subset A of R for which sup A is not a limit point of A. An example is (0,1) union {7}. will this work? 2) a finite subset A of R that is not closed I think it is not possible. Please give some hints...

I'm having trouble working out a few details from my probability book. It says if P(An) goes to zero, then the integral of X over An goes to zero as well. My book says its because of the monotone convergence theorem, but this confuses me because I thought that has to do with Xn converging to X...

Assume that f: E \to Y \,\,\, , E \subset X then can we say that f(E^c)=f(E)^c what about the inverse mapping f^{-1}: V \to X \,\,\, , V\subset Y do we have to have some restrictions on f and its inverse ? My immediate answer is that we have to have a bijection in order to conclude that but I...

if A is a subset of B and the frontier of B is a subset of A then A=B. I am pretty sure that this is true as I drew I diagram and I think this helped. A frontier point has a sequence in the set and a sequence in the compliment that both converge to the same limit. However I'm not really...
