SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the values of $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ for which the function $(\ln x_1)(x_2^2+x_2)$ is bounded by $O(||X||^{\alpha})$ as $||X|| \to 0$ and $|X| \to \infty$, with $x_1 > 0$. The notation $||X||^\alpha$ is clarified as $(x_1^2 + x_2^2)^{\alpha/2}$. Participants are encouraged to share insights or methods for solving this problem.
