    Positive semidefinite matrix

    Thanks for your help. Now I have calculated Y^T A Y. It is: Y^T A Y = \begin{pmatrix} y & z \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} t \cdot I_n & x \\ x^T & t \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} y\\z \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} y_1t+zx_1 & \cdots & y_nt+zx_n & y_1x_1+...+y_nx_n+zt...

    Total variation of a function

    Hello, I want to calculate the total variation \left \| f \right \|_{V(\Omega)} with \Omega=(-1,1) and f(x)=\mathrm{sgn}(x). The total variation of a function is defined as follows: \left \| f \right \|_{V(\Omega)} :=\sup\left \{ \int_\Omega f\ \mathrm{div} (v)\ dx \ | \ v \in...

    Proving Normal Field Extensions with an Example | Field Extension Normality

    Hi, how can I show that a field extension is normal? Here is a concrete example: L|K is normal, whereas L=\mathbb F_{p^2}(X,Y) and K= \mathbb F_p(X^p,Y^p) . p is a prime number of course. I have to show that every irreducible polynomial in K[X,Y] that has a root in L...
