AI Thread Summary
To solve the inequality 2h+1≤n≤2h+1 for h, it can be split into two separate inequalities: 2h+1 ≤ n and n ≤ 2h+1. The first inequality leads to h ≤ (n-1)/2, while the second gives h ≥ log2(n) - 1. The solution for h is found by determining the overlap of the two resulting intervals. This method allows for a clearer understanding of the constraints on h based on the values of n. Overall, the approach simplifies the manipulation of the compound inequality.

This is part of a larger problem and I'm trying to solve 2h+1≤n≤2h+1 for h. If the equation had two equals signs or one inequality I think I could do it but I'm not sure how to proceed with both. In other words, I don't know how to manipulate an expression of the form (expr1)≤(expr2)≤(expr3). Any help would be appreciated.

You can split a "chain of inequalities" into single inequalities connected by an $\wedge $-sign:

$ 2h+1≤n≤2^{h+1}~\implies~ 2h+1 \leq n ~\wedge ~ n\leq 2^{h+1} $

The final set of solutions is the interception of the two single sets of solutions (sorry if my English sounds a little bit cryptic)

Assuming both \(h\) and \(n\) are real:

Do each seperatly so \(2h+1\le n \Rightarrow h\le \frac{n-1}{2} \), and \(n\le2^{h+1}\Rightarrow h \ge \log_2(n)-1\)

The simultaneous solutions are values in the overlap of the two parts of the real line to which the two conditions constrain \(h\)

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
