AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application of the formula ni = (e^(B*(eH-ei))-1)*e^(-0.5772156649..) from a referenced paper to derive specific values for n0 through n7, given N=7. Users are attempting to confirm if substituting values into the formula yields the expected results of (3,2,1,1,0,0,0,0). There is confusion regarding the derivation and matching of these values with Boltzmann's combinatorial argument. The inability to access the original paper adds to the difficulty in understanding the formula's application. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding a suitable B to achieve the desired outcomes.

Hi

How do I use this formula:
ni = (e^(B*(eH-ei))-1)*e^(-0.5772156649..)
from this paper?
https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018DDA...49P...2C/abstract
According to this site, (n0,n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,n7) = (3,2,1,1,0,0,0,0) for N=7:

Does that mean I should get:
n0 = (e^(B*(7-0))-1)*e^(-0.5772156649..) = 3
n1 = (e^(B*(7-1))-1)*e^(-0.5772156649..) = 2
n2 = (e^(B*(7-2))-1)*e^(-0.5772156649..) = 1
n3 = (e^(B*(7-3))-1)*e^(-0.5772156649..) = 1
?

Yes, I can't find the actual paper either but that abstract (as well as another abstract from him) makes the derivation clear:

digamma(ni+1) = a-b*ei

use approximation digamma(x+1) = ln(e^-m+x) where m = 0.5772156649

ln(e^-m+ni) = a-b*ei

e^-m+ni = e^(a-b*ei)

ni = e^(a-b*ei)-e^-m
ni = e^(a+m-m-b*ei)-e^-m
ni = e^(a+m-b*ei)*e^-m-e^-m
ni = (e^(a+m-b*ei)-1)*e^-m
ni = (e^(a*((A+m)/b-ei))-1)*e^-m

replace eH = (a+m)/b

ni = (e^(b*(eH-ei))-1)*e^-m

I just can't get the ni's to match Boltzmann's combinatorical argument.
Shouldn't it be possible to find a B such that (n0,n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6,n7) = (3,2,1,1,0,0,0,0) for N=7?
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
