Very long Taylor expansion/partial fraction decomposition
Wow, now that is quite interesting and it makes so much sense. Looks like I need to revise some combinatorics! Thank you again.- jamesb1

Very long Taylor expansion/partial fraction decomposition
Thank you for your answer! I actually tried that approach before (of expanding using the Maclaurin series for ##(1-x)^{-1}##. I then couldn't continue after that as I never knew about this notion of the ##c_n## coefficient. Could you elaborate on how ##c_n## happens to be the cardinality of that...- jamesb1

Very long Taylor expansion/partial fraction decomposition
Homework Statement I want to express the following expression in its Taylor expansion about x = 0: $$ F(x) = \frac{x^{15}}{(1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3)(1-x^4)(1-x^5)} $$ The Attempt at a Solution First I tried to rewrite the function in partial fractions (its been quite a while since I've last...- jamesb1

Graduate What is meant when $\sigma$ is said to be discriminatory?
The other definitions in the paper I linked are not really necessary as this definition does not take any special insight from them. I gave the information needed specifically for I_n and M(I_n) because they're mentioned but other than that, it can pretty much be taken as a standalone definition...- jamesb1

Graduate What is meant when $\sigma$ is said to be discriminatory?
I understand that, what I mean is I don't understand how it correlates with this definition; where the Lebesgue integral being zero implies that the measure μ is also 0.- jamesb1

Graduate What is meant when $\sigma$ is said to be discriminatory?
I am reviewing this http://deeplearning.cs.cmu.edu/pdfs/Cybenko.pdf on the approximating power of neural networks and I came across a definition that I could not quite understand. The definition reads: where $I_n$ is the n-dimensional unit hypercube and $M(I_n)$ is the space of finite...- jamesb1

Physics Navigating Quantum Computation: My Masters and PhD Prospects
I'm currently in my final year of BSc(Hons) in mathematics and computer science & A.I (applied math stream). Indeed, I'm starting to think about what masters I want to pursue and the kind of subject I would like to specialize in. I am really interested in quantum computation and the prospects of...- jamesb1

What's Coming in Physics Forums 4.0?
Hi I would like to know whether there will be LaTeX support added for the mobile app as well since the mobile app would be just 100% perfect if this feature would be added. I find it practically unusable without this support. Thank you- jamesb1

Graduate Separation of variables for solutions of partial differential equation
Why is it assumed that the method of separation of variables works when the boundary conditions of some boundary valued problem are homogeneous? What is the reasoning behind it?- jamesb1

Find region for which F(x,y) = (x+y)^2 is Lipschitz in y
Shouldn't the interval not contain variables though, to have a definite region? I know you can choose any x and fix it, but it seems indefinite to me. x should remain fixed instead of having x1 and x2, no? I am unsure how to attain values for both x and y such that the following inequality is...- jamesb1

Find region for which F(x,y) = (x+y)^2 is Lipschitz in y
As the title says, I need to find such a region. Taking any x, and any y1 and y2 I used the expression |F(x,y1) - F(x,y2)| and plugged in the function respectively for y1 and y2. Now I have to find values for x and y such that the following condition (Lipschitz condition) is satisfied: | 2x +...- jamesb1

Undergrad Invertible matrix implies linear independent columns
Is the title statement true? Was doing some studying today and this caught my eye, haven't looked into linear algebra in quite a while so I'm not sure how it is true :/ Internet couldn't provide any decisive conclusions neither Many thanks- jamesb1

Undergrad Cartesian to Polar: Angle Theta Interval Defined
When it comes to converting Cartesian to polar coordinates, I sometimes still get mixed up on how to define the angle theta (if its -π <= theta <= π , or 0 <= theta <= 2π for example) depending on the position of the surface etc. Can anyone shed light on the definitive way on how to set this...- jamesb1
