Inequalities With Parity-Specific Domains

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenge of combining two inequalities, X and Y, into a single equation while maintaining their specific parity requirements—X as an even integer and Y as an odd integer. The inequalities presented are X≥(2b-2)/(2a+1)-1 and Y≥(2b)/(2a+1)-2, with the condition that X must be greater than Y. Suggestions include relating the quotients to derive a new inequality, though this may result in loss of information. The original poster expresses frustration over the complexity of the solution and seeks a more elegant formulation. Overall, the conversation highlights the difficulty of merging inequalities with strict parity conditions.

When I was working on a rather difficult real-life math problem, I nearly found the solution. What I came up with was two inequalities: ##X≥\frac{2b-2}{2a+1}-1## and ##Y≥\frac{2b}{2a+1}-2## and the fact that ##X>Y##. However, ##X## must be an even integer and ##Y## must be an odd integer. Is there any way of combining all of these statements into one nice, neat equation, or do I have to leave it in the unpleasant form in currently exhibits? I would truly hate to have all of the work I went through thus far on this problem end with such an ugly solution. I have struggled for about two or three hours, so any help you can give on this topic is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, and for any assistance you can provide.
P.S. Last time I posted a topic, it was recommended that I post my mathematical ability, so I am a mathematically advanced student in tenth grade.

It's not quite clear what you want to achieve. The result looks fine to me and any combination into one inequality will lose information. Maybe one can relate the quotients to get an inequality ##X>Y\geq \frac{2b}{2a+1}-2 > \frac{2b-2}{2a+1}-1## but this depends on ##a## and ##b##.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
