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!
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
