    Valid Method for Proving Matrix Equation with Independent Variables

    hi AKG, after thinking it throrughly, I think I understand what you meant. I only need to solve for Z = R^{-1}SY and then I show the elements of Z are independent of each other (possibly by showing that their covariance is 0) Thanks for you help! cheers!

    Valid Method for Proving Matrix Equation with Independent Variables

    hi thanks for replying actually, what I need to show is that I can write W in the form RZ where Z are independent. that is, defining W, S, Y, R, and Z below, and given W = SY where Y are independent, I must show that I can write W as W = RZ where Z are independent. does what you have...

    Valid Method for Proving Matrix Equation with Independent Variables

    after a series of computations, I was able to get the following matrix equation from the given of a problem: \[\left( \begin{array} {ccc} W_1 \\ W_2 \end{array} \right)\] = \[\left( \begin{array} {ccc} \frac{\sigma_{11}}{\sqrt{\sigma_{11}^2 + \sigma_{12}^2}} &...

    Equivalent probabilties

    Homework Statement Given a probability space, how do I find the family of all equivalent probabilities on the space? For example, let the discrete random variable X have uniform probability equal to 1/3, taking values 10, 2, and -3. the r.v. is represented on the finite probability space...

    Proving V is a Hilbert Space: Facts 1 & 2

    hi guys, just submitted the work today...am not sure if what I did was 100% correct, but at least I know it was generally correct. I did try to show that v_n(1) -> v(1) if v_n conerges to v...something like that :) just want to say thanks for the help.

    Proving V is a Hilbert Space: Facts 1 & 2

    the inner product of H1 is given by (u, v)_{H^{1}} = \int u' v' (x) dx the norm is \| \cdot \|_{H^{1}} = \sqrt{(\cdot, \cdot)_{H^{1}} how exactly do you define a sequence of functions v_n? thanks.

    Proving V is a Hilbert Space: Facts 1 & 2

    if my understanding is correct, isn't the l^{2} space a space of measurable functions (and hence the h^{1} space also a space of measruable functions). My confusion lies is this: I have to find a function that maps the space of measurable function (h1) to the real space. Is this correct? or is...

    Proving V is a Hilbert Space: Facts 1 & 2

    okay, let's see if I understood this correctly... for the first one, I have to find a function that maps from H1 to v(1) (which is equal to 0 and hence is in R). For the second, I have to find a function that maps from H1 to v(0) - v(1) (which is also equal to 0 and hence is in R). And since...

    Proving V is a Hilbert Space: Facts 1 & 2

    thanks for the reply StatusX... how about for the space V:= \{v \in H^{1}, v(0) = v(1) \}? How do I prove that this is a Hilbert Space?...more specifically, how do I prove that this is a closed subspace of H^{1}? thanks again.

    Proving V is a Hilbert Space: Facts 1 & 2

    Fact 1: we know that a closed subspace of a Hilbert Space is also a Hilbert Space. Fact 2: we know that the Sobolev Space H^{1} is a Hlbert space. How do I show that the space V:=\{v \in H^{1}, v(1) = 0\} is a Hilbert space? Is V automatically a closed subspace of H^{1}? How do I show this...

    Proving Lipschitz Condition for F with $\| \cdot \|_{1}$ Norm

    ok, please ignore this question,I think I may have solved it after I was able to prove |siny| <= |y| in the other thread. thanks for reading.

    Is |sin y| <= |y| True for Every Real y?

    using the mean value theorem: Let f(y) = sin y thenby MVT f(y) - f(0) = f'(c) (y - 0) where c is between y and 0 getting absolute values of both sides |f(y) - f(0)| = |y f'(c)| this is equal to |sin y - sin0| = |y cos(c)| equal to |sin y| = |y cos(c)| <= |y||cos(c)| <= |y| since |cos(c)|...

    Is |sin y| <= |y| True for Every Real y?

    |sin y| <= |y| for every real y. I suspect that it is. It is easy if |y| > 1 since |sin y| <= 1. but what about for |y| <= 1? how do I prove this without resorting to the use of graphs?

    Proving Lipschitz Condition for F with $\| \cdot \|_{1}$ Norm

    I need to prove that the function F is Lipschitz, using the \| \cdot \|_{1} norm. that is, for t \in \mathbb{R} and y, z \in Y(t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2} I must show that \|F(t, y) - F(t, z)\|_{1} < k|y-z| F(t, Y(t)) is given as F(t, Y(t)) = \left( \begin{array}{cc} y' \\...
