    I Probability of a Stochastic Markov process

    Hi everyone! I'm approaching the physics of stochastic processes. In particular I am studying from "Handbook of stochastic processes - Gardiner". This book defines a stationary process like: $$ p(x_1, t_1; x_2, t_2; ...; x_n, t_n) = p(x_1, t_1 + \epsilon; x_2, t_2 + \epsilon; ...; x_n, t_n +...

    I How Does the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Relate to Probability Theory?

    Ok, I made a drawing and I realized my mistake. :sorry: I will also try to demonstrate the two inclusions, thank you for the big help! :biggrin:

    I How Does the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Relate to Probability Theory?

    Sorry, I was ambiguous! I meant that I don't understand $$ A_1 \cup A_2 = A_1 \cup [ A_2 \setminus ( A_1 \cap A_2 ) ] $$ It seems like ## A_2 = A_2 \setminus ( A_1 \cap A_2 ) ##. Thank you again. :)

    I How Does the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Relate to Probability Theory?

    Thank you very much! I only need the hypothesis in writing the difference, and obviously ## A_1 \cap A_2 \subseteq A_2 ##. I also get that ## A_1 \cap [ A_2 \setminus ( A_1 \cap A_2 ) ] = \emptyset ##. I still don't get the first relation that you wrote. :(

    I How Does the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Relate to Probability Theory?

    I understand that if ## A_2 \subseteq A_1 ##, then the equation it's easy to understand, more or less. Unfortunately the book doesn't give me this hypothesis. :frown: Is it possible that the authors forgot about it or is this hypothesis not necessary?

    I How Does the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Relate to Probability Theory?

    Hello everyone! I'm studying the physics of complex systems and I'm approaching probability theory. I understand that we need a ## \sigma-algebra ## and the Kolmogorov axioms in order to define a probability space but then I bumped into the following relation: $$ p(A_1 \cup A_2 ) = p( A_1 ) + p(...

    A spring-mass system in circular motion

    Thank you very much! I know about quadratic potentials and the curve you showed me reminds me of a mirrored diagram of the electronic energy of a diatomic molecule in function of the distance between atoms. :smile: :dademyday: , you do a similar thing when you want to study a termodynamic...

    A spring-mass system in circular motion

    3) I call ## R_M ( \theta ) ## the position of the mass at a certain angle ## \theta ##. From the geometry of the system I find: $$ R_M ( \theta ) = 2 R cos ( \theta ) \qquad ( R_M ( \theta ) )_y = 2R \cos ^2 ( \theta ) $$ The potential energy in function of the angle thus is: $$ 2 m g R \cos...

    A spring-mass system in circular motion

    Hello! Sorry, i don't know about these diagrams. In which book can I find a brief explanation about those?

    Yep! I'm also going to post the answer to the third point. :wink:

    A spring-mass system in circular motion

    Haruspex, yeah sure. Then if this is the only problem I will semplify the equations and as soon as I have the time I will write it here! Thank!

    Mmm, ok! Thanks! I am thinking. :sorry:

    A spring-mass system in circular motion

    No, because i don't understand what you mean saying that. From what i rember the elastic force is proportional to the compression or the lenghtening of the spring from its rest position. :frown:
