### Confusion about order of operations with point-in-tetrahedron formula

I am not a math student, but I am attempting to roll my own GJK-based hit detection function. It would seem that most of the Internet that I've searchedd through chooses to either ignore or obfuscate ...

### Transformation Ricker equation

The classical Ricker equation for modelling density-dependent population growth is: $N_{t+1} = N_t * e^{r * \left(1-\frac{N_t}{k}\right)}$ where $N_t$ is the initial number of individuals (starting ...

### Concentration of measure bounds for multivariate Gaussian distributions (fixed)

Let $\gamma_n$ denote the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. It is known (see for example Cor 2.3 here: http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~barvinok/total710.pdf) that ...

### Does there exist a closed form for $L_k$ for any $k>3$?

I defined a sequence $L_k$ as the limit of a sequence of "hyperharmonic" series in this question. I was surprised to find that $L_3=(\sqrt{13+4\sqrt2}-1)/2$, but was unable to find a representation ...

### What's the difference between cohomology theories of varieties and topological spaces

There is defined several cohomology theories for algebraic varieties, but in the situation is very different for topological spaces (up to homotopy) for which there is only one cohomology theory for ...

### Physical meaning of some identity in a weighted undirected graph

Let $G$ be an undirected graph with some weights associated with each node. Weights are normalized, sum is 1 and $w_u$ denotes the weight of node $u$. let $V(G) = C \cup \bar C$. ${\it Case }1:$ ...

### Weak topologies and weak convergence - Looking for feedbacks

I am currently trying to get exactly what the weak and the weak* topologies are, in particular in connection to the concept of weak convergence in measure, however I am not completely sure on what I ...

### Find the critical curves for the following functional

Find the critical curves for the following functional : $$J[y(x),z(x)]=\int_{0}^{1}(y'^2+z'^2-xyz'-yz)dx$$ With the conditions : $$K[y(x),z(x)]=\int_{0}^{1}(y'^2-xy'-z'^2)dx=2$$ $$y(1)=z(1)=1$$ ...

### How can one find intermediate digits of a root of an algebraic equation?

I was wondering whether there is a way to find intermediate digits of an algebraic equation. For example, if I have $$234x^{\frac{1}{12345}}-24621x^{\frac{1}{3456}}=1$$ And I want to find the ...

### Contraction of curves on a surface and stalks

Let $$f:X \rightarrow S$$ be a fibered surface over a Dedekind scheme of dimension $1.$ Let $$s_1, \ldots, s_n$$ be closed points of S and $\{E_{ij}\}$ irreducible vertical divisors of $X$ with ...

### Let $H$ be a subgroup of the group $(R, +)$ such that $H$ $∩$ [-1,1] is a finite set containing a non zero element. Show that $H$ is cyclic.

Observations: Since $H$ is a subgroup of $(R, +)$ so $0 \in H.$ If $1 \in H,$ then all positive integers belong to $H.$ But $H$ is closed wrt addition, so the negative integers must belong to $H$ ...
