SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the validity of the statement regarding the choice of epsilon in relation to a vector \(\vec{x}=(x_1,...,x_n)\) where \(x_k>0\) for all \(1\le k \le n\). Participants assert that the original statement lacks a definitive claim, rendering it neither true nor false. A comparison is drawn to the mathematical statement "2+3=5," which is indeed true, highlighting the necessity of a clear proposition for evaluation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector notation and properties
  • Familiarity with the concept of epsilon in mathematical contexts
  • Basic knowledge of logical statements and truth values
  • Experience with mathematical proofs and definitions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of epsilon in mathematical analysis
  • Study logical propositions and their truth values in mathematics
  • Explore vector spaces and their properties in linear algebra
  • Learn about mathematical definitions and their implications in proofs
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of mathematics, and anyone interested in the foundations of mathematical logic and vector analysis.

Let: \displaystyle{\vec{x}=(x_1,...,x_n)} with \displaystyle{x_k>0, \forall 1\le k \le n}

Be a vector,then;

Choose \epsilon such that \displaystyle{0<\epsilon<x_k, \forall 1\le k \le n}.

Is that sentence true or false ?

There's no statement that could be true or false, you have just defined some variables. Perhaps you meant to add something to it?

then the following sentence : 2+3=5 is not true or false
