AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving for probabilities A and B in the limit case where N, L, and M approach infinity. The equations provided include a linear combination of A and B equating to 1, along with two exponential equations set to a constant k. The simplified solution for A and B is derived as A = 1 - (kY^-H)^(1/(M-1)) and B = 1 - (kY^-L)^(1/(M-1)). There is an emphasis on the necessity of maintaining the first equation, indicating a constraint on the variables involved. The conversation highlights the challenge of understanding the original notation but concludes that the equations are manageable to solve.

Is there a way to solve for \pi_{H} and \pi_{L} which are probabilities when:

\pi_{H} N_{H} + \pi_{L} N_{L} = 1
(1 - \pi_{H})^{M-1} y_{H} = k
(1 - \pi_{L})^{M-1} y_{L} = k

It s ok to solve it for the limit case as N_{H}, N_{L}, and M go to infinity.
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
leave alone solving it , i do not even understand the symbols in the question

can anyone explain to me what they are?
 
His notation is godawful but I think he wants to solve

AN^H + BN^L = 1
(1-A)^(M-1)Y^H = k
(1-B)^(M-1)Y^L = k

for A and B. And he's writing pi_h for A and pi_L for B

In this case the solution is obvious:
A =1 - (kY^-H)^1/(M-1)
B =1 - (kY^-L)^1/(M-1)
And the first equation must still be true meaning there is some kind of constraint on k, Y, H, M and L, and N whatever the heck those are.
 
Given two equations don't look too hard to solve, so why not give it a try?
 
Sorry. i fixed the notations to an easier to see format.

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...
