Prove Equation: Algebraic Problem I Need Help With

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving the equation \tilde{(\hat{A} + \hat{B})^*} = \tilde{\hat{A}}^* + \tilde{\hat{B}}^*, which involves understanding the meanings of the symbols used, such as tildes, stars, and hats, likely representing complex conjugates and transposes. Participants agree that the operations are linear, but caution that linear operators can be bounded or unbounded, complicating the proof. A more general formula for bounded linear operators is mentioned, indicating the need for careful consideration in proving the equality. The original poster seeks specific advice on how to demonstrate this equality rather than simply stating the linearity of the operators. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the complexity of the problem and the need for a detailed approach to the proof.

I need help proving this equation... Thankful for all answers!

<br /> \tilde{(\hat{A} + <br /> \hat{B})^*} = <br /> \tilde{\hat{A}}^* + <br /> \tilde{\hat{B}}^*<br />

I hope you can read my nice Latex equation! :)

Explain what everything means:tilda stands for what?star stands for what?hats stand for what??
P.S.I had my glasses on,so i could read it. :wink:
 
I would assume it is about (complex) conjugates and transposes, but I'm not sure..
 
at think the same thing arildno...and since these operations are per definition linear there is not much to say...

The problem is not that simple.In general,linear operators can be bounded/unbounded.So the general formula reads.
(\hat{A} +\hat{B})^{+} \supseteq \hat{A}^{+}+\hat{B}^{+}
,where the sign for operator equality stands for bounded linear operators A and B.
 
My latex knowledge ís not that good... but dextercioby wrote my problem down for me except that there is an equality sign in my problem! What i want to do is to prove equality. I can't just say that the operators are linear and write the answer down.

Please... some advice!
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
