AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving the existence of a Hermitian matrix M related to orthogonal polynomials defined by a measure w(x). The equation presented suggests that the polynomials can be expressed as the expected value of the determinant of a matrix involving M. Participants express confusion over the clarity of the equation and request examples to illustrate the relationship between orthogonal polynomials and the matrix M. There are also criticisms directed at the dismissive attitude towards differing opinions in the thread. The conversation highlights the challenges in understanding the mathematical concepts and the need for clearer examples.

given a set of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a certain measure w(x)

\int_{a}^{b}dx w(x) P_{n} (x)P_{m} (x) = \delta _{n,m}h_{n}

how can anybody prove that exists a certain M+M Hermitian matrix so

P_{m} (x)= &lt; Det(1-xM)&gt; here <x> means average or expected value of 'x'

if we knew the set of orthogonal polynomials P_{m} (x) for every 'm' and the measure w(x) , could we get the expression for the matrix M ??

Your equation doesn't make much sense to me. How about providing an example. A particular orthogonal system and the corresponding matrix.

I recommend "proof by believe", i.e. write something that looks like a proof, believe it is a correct proof, without being able to check whether it is correct.

Looks like we got ourselves a troll.
 
Interesting way to react to posts that do not tickle the own ears - delete them. You guys are not seekers of truth. Ibn al Haytham would be ashamed for you all.
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
