Hi folks, I've got everything I need to write a paper on the effect of constraints on passwords... except the math. I actually could write it, but the math would make it much meatier. Here is what I know about math. If the answer to a math problem is obvious, it is probably wrong. If the...

Martin Rees talks about the strength of G in his book Just Six Numbers and how it couldn't be much stronger than it is for life to evolve. However he seems to hint that it could be weaker without much problem. I am wondering if anyone knowns any papers on the lower bound constraint for G in...

We know that in one dimension if ##E>V(\infty)## or ##E>V(-\infty)## then the resulting wave function will not be normalizable. The basic argument is that if ##E>V(\infty)##, then a stationary solution to the Schrodinger equation will necessarily have a concavity with the same sign as the...

Hey! :o I want to find the critical points of the function $f(x_1, x_2)=x_1x_2$ under the constraint $2x_1+x_2=b$. Using the method of Lagrange multipliers I got the following: \begin{equation*}L(x_1,x_2,\lambda )=x_1x_2-\lambda \cdot \left (2x_1+x_2-b\right )\end{equation*}...

I wonder if someone can tell me if I have interpreted the cited article correctly. https://arxiv.org/abs/1306.5534 The article seems to have calculated upper bounds on the density of DM for different parts of our solar system. We have found that ρdm is less than 1.1⋅10−20 g cm−3 at the orbital...

Basically I don't know how to get to the constraints from the system of equations. In class we used det to find constraints for homogenous equations, but we didn't go over this situation. Someone spell it out for me?

If we have a function: \begin{equation} f(x,x',y,y',t) \end{equation} and we are trying to minimise this subject to a constraint of \begin{equation} g(x,x',y,y',t) \end{equation} Would we simply have a set of two euler lagrange equations for each dependent variable, here we have x and y...

I do not see how (2.34) shows that forces of semi-holonomic constraints do no work in the displacements ##\delta q_k## between the varied path and the actual path. Starting from (2.31), I seem to be able to prove that such forces do do work, in contrary to what is claimed in the paragraph...

I really don't have much experience with calculus ( :sarcasm: Hooray! ), but earlier I was reading an introductory article explaining the usefulness of the Lagrange multiplier in dimensional optimization, http://www.slimy.com/~steuard/teaching/tutorials/Lagrange.html and it reminded me that...

This paper;http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.02469 ,Geometrical Constraint on Curvature with BAO experiments, suggests an improvement of curvature constraints on the geometry of the universe. On a purely geometric basis the authors' measurements suggest σ(ΩK) \simeq0.006 The GR+Λ case yields a value...

Homework Statement The question is to specify all forces and constraints that are applied in a system of a two-seat merry go round model in terms of the generalised coordinates - and their type (e.g. geometric, kinetic). http://i.imgur.com/FQ7PJyg.png The system is modeled as central...

Define energy as E=T+U. For anyone using different terminology, by rheonomic (time dependent constraints) I mean that if a system has N degrees of freedom, the position vectors of each particle of the system are given by ##\vec{r}_i(q_1,q_2,...,q_n,t)##. Where ##q_i## are generalized...

Based on what I have gathered so far, I don't see why a micro-scale generator wouldn't work, but then again I am a geographer with modest calculus skills. My biggest problem is not knowing how much I don't know, and I am hoping some kind and wise soul on PF can cure my ignorance. Let's say I...

Although this could fall under engineering, I thought the Diff Eq forum was the most relevant. Let me know if I should post elsewhere. I have a fairly basic system for which I'm trying to find a minimum-time optimal control policy. I know there are many ways to do this numerically, but since...

Hi there, I'm reading on the hamiltonian method and it says we can ignore constraints? Is this true, or am I missing something here, so if we have a constraint in the system we do not have to include it in the final calculation for the equation of motion? Hope someone could clear this up, thanks!

I need help conceptually visualizing the mechanics of an EM wave, and especially a DeBroglie type of quantum "wave". I realize that it's a probability wave, but I'm trying to extrapolate a classical image to the general idea. "Normal" force waves result from modulations and/or imbalances between...

I am curious as to how finite element analysis software(like Hypermesh) go about superposition of loadcases(applied on the same model). I constrain my vehicle body for 1.loadcase (say bending) with the standard SPC's and constrain my 2.loadcase(say torsion) with Inertia relief constraints...

Hi guys! I have a question on applying constraint on Linkage systems. Assumed that there is a two dimensional one-bar linkage, one end can only rotate and one end is free (Such as the figure above, please neglect the damper-spring system if you want). This link can rotate only 180 degrees, not...

I have seen the following said on a forum: This makes good sense to me. To me, as a programmer, this sounds like he is asking for a better API to look up the coordinate at runtime; perhaps that would force the engine to evaluate expressions in a particular order, but then that's what functional...

Dear experts, I´m trying to model in ANSYS Mechanical (v14.5) the linear buckling behavior of a cylinder made of BEAM4 elements under combined loading (axial compression and bending moment) applied at the ends. How should I set up the boundary conditions of a cylinder to keep rigid the ends...

Hello, I am going over these slides and I am very confused on a couple parts. First of all on the first slide, I don't understand why a linear function has the form ##f(x) = c^Tx##. How is that equal to ##c_{1}x_{1} + c_{2}x_{2} + \dots + c_{n}x_{n}##. Wouldn't this depend on how you define...
