1. Derive (∂U/∂P)V=-T(∂V/∂T)S

2. I must use dU=TdS-PdV

3. Derivations are my weakest part of math. I checked many wikis about Total differentials, partial derivatives, Maxwell relations and derivations. I can use the Thermodynamic Square, I know how to find different Maxwell relations but I am running in circles trying to derive this equation. Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

(I am stale on my partial derivatives memory and I am failing to see how these potentials relate with these constants)

Can you find a Maxwell relation for the right-hand side?
 
Yes, I already solved this problem, thanks.

This can be closed.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
