    Properties Sums
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the validity of certain mathematical properties related to sums and products, with the user seeking clarification on whether these properties are true and requesting counterexamples if they are not. The properties in question involve sums of functions and their behavior under specific conditions. It is clarified that the variables a and b represent whole numbers, while f, g, t, and b are functions of i. The user notes that the first property is not always true, providing an example involving sums between 0 and 1. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise definitions and conditions under which these properties hold.

Hi and sorry for bad english.I want to know if these properties are truehttps://gyazo.com/88c471f4bb9989b67a390c372f2c72fe

and

https://gyazo.com/85f4110664db6831576012debaf3a778 I did not find these properties in any place.
so I guess it will be obvious or are incorrect,
if incorrect I would like to see counterexamples.
thanks

Can you write these properties using an "if ... then" structure and not use the word "so"?

Also, can you write basic definitions of ##a##, ##b##, ##f## and so on? Are we working in the real numbers? Or a general vector space? Or?

a and b are any whole numbers (or infinity) , f(i), g(i),t(i),b(i) are any functions of i

For the first case, it isn't always true.
The Sum of x between 1 and 0 is 1, and the sum of x^2 between 1 and 0 is also one. We can generalise this to x^n where n is real and not equal to 0, this would produce the same answer between [0,1]
 
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...
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...
