Hello fellow physicist, I'm new on this subject, I hope that you can help me clear some stuff out. If I have 2 basis sets; A containing 100 basis functions and B containing 50 basis functions, for which one of them will a DFT calculation be faster? Also, is a DFT calculation using basis sets...

Homework Statement I'm in need of some help to be able to determine the supremum and infimum of the following sets:A = \left\{ {mn\over 1+ m+n} \mid m, n \in \mathbb N \right\}B = \left\{ {mn\over 4m^2+m+n^2} \mid m, n \in \mathbb N \right\}C = \left\{ {m\over \vert m\vert +n} \mid m \in...

There is a conceptual puzzle that I don't understand about nonmeasurable sets. Take the unit interval [0, 1] and let S be some subset. Now, generate (using a flat distribution) a sequence of reals in the interval: r_1, r_2, r_3, ... Then we can define the relative frequency up to n as follows...

The hereditarily finite sets(a subclass of the Von Neumann universe) are an axiomatic model that corresponds to the usual axioms of set theory but with the axiom of infinity replaced by its negation(showing its independency from the other axioms of set theory). Some mathematicians (a minority)...

Homework Statement ONLY QUESTION 2[/B] Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Not sure what's going on here. I think the issue is in my own flawed understanding of the notation used in sets generally. So the question states: f : R \rightarrow R such that f(x) = x^{2} My...

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Q.1 I'm a little confused with how subsets and elements are defined in the case of the given set "A" as it seems to be a set of sets, so I'm going to throw my answers out and would appreciate any guidance on where I'm wrong (if...

So we just recently did accumulation points in my maths class for chemists. I understood everything that was taught but ever since I was trying to find a reasonable explanation if the sequence an = (-1)n has 2 accumulation points (-1,1) or if it doesn't have any at all. I mean it's clear that...

Hey! :o Could you give me an example of a strong concave function $f:[0,3]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that is not continuous? (Wondering) We have that $f''(x)<0$. Since the function has not to be continuous, the derivatives are neither continuous, are they? (Wondering) Is maybe the...

I've started Book of Proof, the first chapter of which is an intro to sets. Q.1 Is there any particular way to approach these kinds of problems, other than using intuition / trial & error? I tend to have some difficulty in working out the best way to express the general term of a sequence, for...

If $X$ is a set, then the power set $P(X)$ of a set is the set of all subsets of $X$. I need to decide whether the following statements are true or false and prove it: (i) If $Z = X \cup Y$ , then $P(Z) = P(X) \cup P(Y)$. (ii) If $Z = X \cap Y$ , then $P(Z) = P(X) \cap P(Y)$. By examples I...

Can anyone recommend published homework sets even without solutions for an intro to waves/optics course, the 3rd of a typical 3-course intro physics sequence? I had been following MIT's intro sequence (8.01, 8,02, 8.03) while taking a course that follows Halliday/Resnick, which I do not find...

Given an indexed collection of sets A_x the disjoint union of these sets can be thought of as the ordinary union of the sets \{ x \} \times A_x for all x. That is, it is the set of all pairs (x, a) where a \in A_x. (Correct me at this point if my understanding of disjoint union is wrong.)...

I'm looking to tutor someone, but I need to find small masses like 1 gram, 10 gram, 25 gram, 100 gram things for demonstrations/experiments etc. As small as possible would be nice, like no bigger than a quarter. But whenever I try to google for weights I just get weightlifting things like...

Hello, I am excited to be learning about number sets again, :P. Ok, so this is how I describe them: N={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10….∞} Z={-∞….-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3…∞} Q=a/b ,a∈Z,b∈{Z∖0} The first three are correct. However, how do we describe irrational numbers? Is it just the difference set of...

I am a little confused here: a) The number 2 which is at the beginng of one set is closed. The number 2 is open at the beginning of the other set. b) The number 2 is closed of the beginning of a set which goes to infinity. The other set begins at 0 and goes to infinity (2 is an...

I was wondering if anyone could please check my work and reasoning for this problem. Thank-you! (Also, would this be considered a direct proof? How might a contradiction and IFF proof look like and compare?) Problem: Suppose F, G1 and G2 are nonempty families of sets. Prove that if F ⊆ G1 ∩ G2...

Homework Statement Let A be a dense set**. Prove that if f is continuous and f(x) = 0 for all x in A, then f(x) = 0 for all x. **A dense set is defined, in the book, as a set which contains a point in every open interval, such as the set of all irrational or all rational numbers.Homework...

Hello! (Wave)I want to show that $ (A \triangle B) \triangle C=A \triangle (B \triangle C) $. I have tried the following: $$ x \in (A \triangle B) \triangle C \Leftrightarrow x \in (A \triangle B)\setminus C \lor x \in C \setminus (A \triangle B) \\ \Leftrightarrow (x \in A \triangle B \wedge...

So I have two sets, call it ##A## and ##B##. I also have a function ##f:A\rightarrow B##. By themselves, it does not matter (or at the very least make sense) to think of ##A## and ##B## as, say, groups (I'm not really thinking exclusively about groups, just as an example). For that matter, it...

Let us define, as Kolmogorov-Fomin's Элементы теории функций и функционального анализа does, the definition of outer measure of a bounded set ##A\subset \mathbb{R}^n## as $$\mu^{\ast}(A):=\inf_{A\subset \bigcup_k P_k}\sum_k m(P_k)$$where the infimum is extended to all the possible covers of...

Say you have set A with n elements and set B with m elements. If I recall, there are a total of 2nm relations between them. But my question is, does this count redundancies? What I mean is, if in the relation A~B = B~A. I don't want to count identical relations twice. Thanks!

Greetings: I am attempting to prove that no set contains all sets without Russell's paradox. What I have thus far is this: Let S be an arbitrary set and suppose S contains S. If X is in S for some X not=S, then S - S cannot be empty. But this is a contradiction; hence if S contains S, then...
