### How does u^Tv = p dot ||u|| follow from the projection onto line?

Before anybody asks, this is not a homework question. I just saw the formula given in Andrew Ng's Coursera course in the SVM section. For reference: the projection formula is proj_w_(p) = p((p dot w) ...

### Help in step of the proof of Burnside's $p^aq^b$ theorem (Doerk-Hawkes book)

I'm reading the proof of the $p^aq^b$ Burnside's theorem from the book Finite soluble groups by Doerk and Hawkes. The fifth step of the proof says 2.5. Let $M$ and $H$ be maximal subgroups of $G$ ...

### How to show the sum of the images of such $m$ projections is direct and is the whole space?

There are $m$ projections (whose square are themselves) $\phi_1,\cdots,\phi_m$ acting on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ such that $$\phi_i\phi_j=0\quad i\ne j\tag{1}$$ where $0$ denotes the ...

### Property of hermitian matrices (eigen values)

In a paper I have read the following ${\bf G}$ is a Hermitian matrix, that 1) ${\bf G}$ is diagonalizable 2) the singluar values are same as the eigen values Is number 2 correct? I cant seem to ...

### Ratio between subsegments of space diagonal of a cube

Let $ABCDEFGH$ be a cube where $ABCD$ is the ground face and $E$ is about $A$, $F$ above $B$, and so on. Consider the space diagonal $AG$, and call $P$ the orthogonal projection of $B$ on $AG$. The ...

### Difference between convergence in measure and convergence almost everywhere

This question is an extension of a question asked earlier. Let $(X,\mathcal{M},\mu)$ be a measure space and let $f_{n}: X \to Y$, where $\{f_{n}\}$ is a sequence of functions. The proof wiki ...

### How to prove the sum of squares larger than 1/n without induction? [duplicate]

known that: $1\geq R_1 \geq R_2 \geq \dots \geq R_n \geq 0$ and $\sum_{i=1}^n R_i=1$ To prove: $\sum_{i=1}^n R_i^2 \geq \frac{1}{n}$ Using induction, the problem can be easily proved. I'd like to ...

### Error in proving inequality $1 - x \leq e^{-x}$

Fact states as following, $$1 - x \leq e^{-x}$$ This is how I try to prove it: \begin{align*} \ln (1 - x) &\leq \ln (e^{-x})\\ \ln 1/ \ln x &\leq -x\\ \ln 1 &\leq -x \times \ln x ...

### Why does the a*c cheat work when factoring trinomials?

When factoring a trinomial, in the form $ax^2 + bx + c$, I am told that one can multiply $a$ and $c$ which gives a product whose factors add to $b$. So if I have $2x^2 + 5x -3$ that gives me $-6$. ...

### Let $V_1,V_2$ be subspaces of $V$. If $\dim(V_1+V_2)=\dim(V_1 \cap V_2) + 1$ then prove that $V1 \subseteq V2$ or $V2 \subseteq V1$.

We know that $\dim(V_1+V_2)=\dim(V_1)+\dim(V_2)-\dim(V_1 \cap V_2)$, But $\dim(V_1+V2)=\dim(V1 \cap V2)+ 1$ (given), Now if we assume that $V_1 \subseteq V_2$ , $V_1 \cap V_2= V_1$, Then at one side ...

### How to create a ring in MAGMA with relations?

I'm using MAGMA221 and would like to create a ring over $GF(2)$ with respect to a list of relations. Here's what I have so far: $\mathtt{Z:=GF(2);} \\\mathtt{P<x,y,z>:=PolynomialRing(Z,3);}$ ...

### Problem with initial values ODE

EQ = $y'+2xy$ Initial Value=$y(0)=-2$ $y'+2xy$ = $y'+y = \frac{1}{2}$ The solution of the Diff Equation $\frac{1}{e^x}$ $\int{\frac{1}{2}}e^xdx$ = $\frac{1}{2}+c$ I wonder how to check if this ...

### Is there any inner product on $M_{n \times n}$ inducing this norm?

The set $M_{n \times n}$ is the collection of all $n \times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{R}$. Definition: $\|A\|_2=Sup_{\|u\|_2=1} \|Au\|_2$. Is there any inner product on $M_{n \times n}$ inducing ...
### $y'=\frac{y^2}{2x(y-x)}$
I'm trying to solve the following differential equation: $$y'=\frac{y^2}{2x(y-x)}$$ It is supposed to have a relatively easy general solution, but I can't find it. I've tried several things, the ...
$\alpha$: $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}^{+} \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}$ defined by $\alpha(n,m)=\frac{n}{m}$ Is this one to one? Is this onto? I know that if $\alpha$ is one to one I must show ...
