How find all positive real $\beta$ such A finite number of $\left|\frac{p}{q}-\sqrt{2}\right|<\frac{\beta}{q^2}$

Define sequence $\{a_{n}\}$,such $$a_{1}=1,a_{2}=2,a_{k+2}=2a_{k+1}+a_{k},k\ge 1$$ Find all positive real number $\beta$,such only have a finite number of relatively prime integers $(p,q)$ ...

Closed-forms for several tough integrals

These integrals came up in the process of finding solution to Vladimir Reshetnikov's problem. I wonder if there are closed-forms for the following integrals: \begin{array}{1,1} &[\text{1}] ...

Find a smooth function with prescribed moments

In several contexts I’ve encountered variants of the following problem : let $m_0,m_1,m_2$ be real numbers such that $0 < m_1 < m_0$ and $\frac{m_1^2}{m_0} <m_2 < m_1$. Then, show that ...

Kernel of an integral operator with Gaussian kernel function

Suppose we have the integral operator $T$ defined by $$Tf(y) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}}f(xy)\,dx,$$ where $f$ is assumed to be continuous and of polynomial growth at most (just to ...

Closed form of $I = \int_0^1 \frac{\operatorname{Li}_2\left( x \right)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \,dx$

I'm looking for a closed form of this integral. $$I = \int_0^1 \frac{\operatorname{Li}_2\left( x \right)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \,dx ,$$ where $\operatorname{Li}_2$ is the dilogarithm function. A numerical ...

A possible mistake in Hartshorne chapter 2 proposition 2.6

Here is the context of this question. Hartshorne claim that $O_X(U)\cong \beta_*(O_V)(U)=O_V(\beta^{-1}(U))$ for any open $U\subset X=\operatorname{Spec}A$,but it is possible that ...

Example about the difference between Morse and degree theory

i found this example but i don't understand how we applyed Morse theory and why we can't applyed degree theory. if the functional $f$ behaves like $<lu,u>$ at infinity where the symmetric ...

Codimension 1 homology represented by Embedded Submanifold

I'm looking for a reference for the following statement: Given an oriented manifold $M$ and a class $\xi \in H_{n-1}(M)$, there is some embedded oriented submanifold $F^+ \hookrightarrow M$ such that ...

Understanding the solution of a riddle about lions and sheep.

I heard a riddle once, which goes like this: There are N lions and 1 sheep in a field. All the lions really want to eat the sheep, but the problem is that if a lion eats a sheep, it becomes a sheep. ...

How many directed graphs of size n are there where each vertex is the tail of exactly one edge?

In a research problem in an unrelated area, me and a student found it necessary to count the number of directed graphs with every vertex having one outward-pointing edge, with no restrictions on the ...
