    Dirac delta approximation - need an outline of a simple and routine proof

    Hi, I need your help with a very standard proof, I'll be happy if you give me some detailed outline - the necessary steps I must follow with some extra clues so that I'm not lost the moment I start - and I'll hopefully finish it myself. I am disappointed that I can't proof this all by myself...

    Sorry for the duplicate.

    Convergence of an integral - book vs. me

    Let f(t) be a function in L^2. I am interested under which conditions converges the integral \int_0^\infty \frac{|F(\omega)|^2}{\omega} d\omega where F(omega) denotes the Fourier transform of f. My book, well, several books actually, say the sufficient conditions are 1) F(0) = 0...

    Banach Spaces vs. Closed Spaces: What's the Difference?

    Thanks to you both, I think I do understand the difference now. As for the observations, the proofs could be as follows: 1) Since X is Banach, a given Cauchy sequence in E (which must then also be in X) converges to a point in X and since E is closed, every sequence from E that converges in X...

    Banach Spaces vs. Closed Spaces: What's the Difference?

    No, it is not. While studying some proofs I relized that I know two different definitions for the two different things but I can't really put my finger on the differences, if there are any. But I do not see the purpose of your question, except that you would 'educate' me that I posted in a...

    Banach Spaces vs. Closed Spaces: What's the Difference?

    Hi to all What exactly is the difference between Banach(=complete, as far as I understand) (sub)space and closed (sub)space. Is there a normed vector space that is complete but not closed or normed vectore space that is closed but not complete? Thanks in advance for explanation and/or examples.

    Proving the 'All Blonde Girls Have Blue Eyes' Fallacy Theorem

    Won't work for n=2: Let G_1 and G_2 be blonde girls and le't assume the theorem is true for n=1. If, for example G_1 is blonde, we can't take G_2 to the collection with her (that would be n=2), so we can't prove that G_2 is also blonde. Hence the induction stops at n=1 and you'll never reach...

    Need a quick help with a simple identity

    - I am not sure which 'i' (and 'typo') you are reffering to, your 'indentity' is, as far as I can say, identical to mine. - So make this clear for me: when can I use the fact that (A*B)^x = A^x*B^x when A,B are complex and x real? (I have little knowledge of complex analysis) I need to get...

    Need a quick help with a simple identity

    Hi Where is the error is this 'identity'?: (-e^i)^{\frac{1}{2}} = (-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}*e^{\frac{i}{2}} My calculator says that the right side is minus one times the left but I can't see the mistake I'v made. Help me please, thanks.

    Uniform convergence of integrable functions

    Maybe there is s different name for that in english. What I know as Newton's integral is this: if a function f is defined on (a,b) and there exists some F such that F'(x) = f(x) for all x from (a,b) (in other words - the function F is an antiderivative of f on (a,b) ) then Newton's integral of...

    Uniform convergence of integrable functions

    This question arised in my last math class: If a sequence of functions f_n uniformly converges to some f on (a, b) (bounded) and all f_n are integrable on (a, b), does this imply that f is also integrable on (a, b) ?? (f_n do not necessarily have to be continous, if they were, the answer...

    Best way of evaluating limits of multi variable functions

    Ok, I'll calm it down but tell me waht you think about this: You are right that 0=0a is true for all a but 0/0=a is nonsense since 0/0 is not assigned any value, you can't divide by 0. But I don't want to argue over something so simple, let's look at this: If you say, that 1/0 does not...

    Best way of evaluating limits of multi variable functions

    I believe that the limit indeed does not exist, one must be careful with multivariable limits, even with the most obvious limits. For example \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x}{x} = 1 but \lim_{\substack{x \rightarrow 0 \\ y \rightarrow 0}} \frac{x}{x} does not exist, for the same reasons I...

    Best way of evaluating limits of multi variable functions

    Maybe I got it wrong but it looks to me that the limit \lim_{\substack{x \rightarrow 0 \\ y \rightarrow 0}} \frac{x + y}{\sin x + \sin y} clearly does not exist, is that your result? When approaching the (0,0) point from y=-x direction, the function is 0/0 and thus undefined (not...
