Is there a name to this sort of differential equation? $$ f(z) + 2zf'(z) + f''(z) = 0 ~. $$ I ran into it somewhere and it does not look to be Hermite. I think it has the general solution $$ f(z) = e^{-z^2} \big( c_1 + c_2 \Phi(\sqrt{3}z) \big) \quad \textnormal{($\Phi(x)$ is probit function.)}...

I assume most people when they refer to Quantum Theory, they sort of referring to QFT. So my question boils down to, what sort of an experiment could potentially refute QFTs (its plural because there are QF theories)?

I have taken the variables as follows: A[][]=the matrix max=to store the maximum integer value present in the matrix min=to store the minimum integer value present in the matrix sum=to store the sum of boundary elements display()=methos to print matrix sort()=method to sort matrix in descending...

Hello, I'm new here so apologies if this is in the wrong place! I was wondering, hypothetically, what sort of canned food would roll the fastest (assuming the ramp remained constant and the can couldn't be altered)? I've been looking this up and I know a solid can would roll faster than an...

Hello! (Wave) Let a matrix with $n$ integers in the interval $[1,100]$. I want to write an algorithm that sorts the elements of the matrix in $O(n)$. [Hint: Count and use the number of times that each number appears] I have thought the following: We create a matrix with $100$ entries. If the...

The answer says insertion sort runs faster when we're sorting less than 43 items. I agree but with the condition that the first item will not be faster. Why does the answer not mention this? Is it because it is insignificantly faster?

The brain receives a lot of visual information some of which is redundant visual information. I am imagining it like the brain receiving a 1000 pixel wide by 1000 tall image of a road. The brain has received 1,000,000 bits/pixels of information. I am assuming the brain doesn't need all that...

I am not that smart when it comes to math. But I was wondering if there is a formula calculator or something online that would help me with the example of a problem. For instance if the attic is 130 degrees and I have a 14 inch round metal duct to my air conditioner in the Attic is there a way...

Bead sort is a not practical sorting algorithm that suppose to have a time complexity of ##O(\sqrt{n})##in the real world. I thought it would be great if a device that can take numbers from the computer,then turn it into analog stuff that the device can read,drop the beads,and return it...

I've tackled a lot so far! I've created methods to delete, get the weight, and sort the tree by name. My goal is to have my switch criteria change how the tree is sorted, either by weight or by name. I haven't figured out how to implement it within my switchCriteria() method, so I've been...

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but here it is! I'm currently trying to create a prop for one of my friends, since I found it an interesting challenge. This is a simple drawing of what I'm trying to do: The button, battery and so on it not my problem, it's that I've no...

Hi. I am doing a project concerning getting a picture of the milky way, in a similar manner of the artists impressions artwork( I don't actually intend to try it obviously). As I don't have a clue what camera to use as an example becuase I need the FOV to work out how far it needs to travel...

I just want to know what would reduce a magnets strength or stop it with a material over it so that its not magnetic anymore. Is there a material that would not allow two magnets attaching N+P from colliding together and make them not move. 1 More question. Is there a electro magnetic device or...

I have 5 boxes and I am displaying the amount of hours it takes to complete 3 different steps with the materials inside said boxes (you don't need it, but its item removal, rebagging, and consolidation). However, there are different amount of bags inside each box, and I need to make a comparison...

Hello, i am new at the forum and i hope i can help and get helped so we can move forward in our projects/jobs/studies. I also ask please to correct any gramatical or vocabulary mistake, since i am still learning english. Now to the actual problem. I am already building some kind of epoxy resin...

So apparently something like heat or work cannot be stored but things like kinetic energy or PE can be...? Can someone clarify this? Is it because heat and work aren't state functions?

So I was writing a short story and I came up with this scenario. Please pardon my Arrogance, but my theory uses several theories. I do have some sort of knowledge in Physics but here it goes. Could you, hypothetically transfer information in the form of gravitational waves between two entangled...

What sort of EM field is produced in an induction heater? And how to measure it? That's it, basically. Assuming an induction heater is running on 200khz, and consuming about 3000 watts, how would I go about measuring the magnetic field produced in its coil? Now, I'm rather confused about all...

Hello! If T denotes running time, then, as I heard at the lecture, T(n/2) + T(n/2) + O(n) = O(nlogn) where T(n/2) running time for sorting the left half T(n/2) running time for sorting the right half O(n) merging sorted Please, help me to see the math - how did the...

Homework Statement This isn't actually a problem I came across in a textbook, but close enough. Let's say I have a rod made of n sections. Each section has a 3-simga manufacturing uncertainty of +/- some value normally distributed about the mean. What is the uncertainty of the final length of...

hi Guys i wrote a insertion sort code which is #include <iostream> /*Waver*/ using namespace std; int main() { int n,i,m; float a[100],k; cout<<"enter the amount of number"; cin>>n; for(i=0; i<n; i++) cin>>a[i]; for(i=1; i<=n; i++) { for(m=1 ; m<=i; m++) { if(a[m]<a[m-1])...

"General relativity predicts that disturbances in the gravitational field propagate as gravitational waves, and that low-amplitude gravitational waves travel at the speed of light." It seems high energy waves may travel slower, but certainly not faster. So, a large star whilst going supernova...

These are example programs that sort an array of linked indexes to a primary array. Rather than having an array of indexes, the starting index is returned directly, each entry in the array is the index of the next entry in the array. In otherwords, array(i) contains the index of the next element...
