    Example of f integrable but |f| not integrable

    Define F(x) = integral (from x to 1) f take limF(x) as x goes to 0. I would like to give an example of a function on (0,1] so that the above limit exists but if we replace f with |f| the limit does not exist. So I came up with f= [(2^n)/(n)](-1)^(n+1) for x in (1/(2^n),1/[2^(n-1)]]...

    What Is an Example of a Linear Map on R^4 Meeting Specific Dimensional Criteria?

    Homework Statement Give a specific example of an operator T on R^4 such that, 1. dim(nullT) = dim(rangeT) and 2. dim(the intersection of nullT and rangeT) = 1 The attempt at a solution I know that dim(R^4) = dim(nullT) + dim(rangeT) = 4, so dim(nullT) = dim(rangeT) = 2. I also...

    What is the solution space for the equation 2^x - 5^y = 3 in modular arithmetic?

    Problem Determine all possible non negative integer pairs (x, y) satisfying this equation: 2^x – 5^y = 3 My Attempt: If x =0, then 5^y = -2, which is a contradiction. If x =1, then 5^y =-1, which is a contradiction. If x = 2, then 5^y = 1, so that y = 0 If x>=3, then we...

    Hilbert spaces: Explicit example of an unbounded operator?

    I'm wondering if someone can give me an example of an everywhere defined unbounded operator on a (separable for simplicity) Hilbert space in a "constructive" manner. Since it's unbounded, simply a dense definition (i.e. on an orthonormal basis) wouldn't work since you can't extend it by...

    Looking for an example of speciation in action- forgotten name of animal.

    I remember reading a while ago about an animal with a fairly large range. Animals in areas adjacent to each other were genetically similar enough to interbreeed with no problems, but animals from opposite ends of their range could not. I think they existed in semi-isolated populations but am not...

    Another misleading observer example, or not?

    In this example, which I found via Wikipedia on Delayed Choice, http://www.bottomlayer.com/bottom/basic_delayed_choice.htm" it makes the "observer" special, i.e. it's the observer who "chooses" whether the photon goes through one slit or the other, or through both as a wave, or more...

    Are All Modules Merely Vectors, or Do They Vary by Type and Operation?

    I know there are many examples of rings like R[x], N, Q, where the elements can be fundalmentally different like polynomials and numbers. But are there different type of modules like there are rings? Or are modules just any vector? And the modules are different when you consider which R...

    Anticommutation Example: Solving for Operator p in Relation to Variable q"

    If I have a variable q, and think of it as an operator, and want to postulate another operator p so that it satisfies a commutation relation [q,p]=i\hbar, a definition p=-i\hbar\partial_q will do this. If I instead wanted an anticommutation relation \{q,p\}=i\hbar, what would be an example of...
