### Why is $a_{n}(x,y)=a_{n}(y)$?

This particular question is connected (with a slight variation in the definition of $g$) to an earlier question. The link is here. The specifics are: Given that $u(x,y)$ is the solution of a PDE ($x$ ...

### $Z_n \backslash \{0\}$ splits into octets

Let $n=8m+1, m\in\mathbb{N}$. Does the set of nonzero elements of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ split into disjoint octets of the form $8_k=\{\pm a_k,\pm b_k,\pm a_k\pm b_k\}$? The computer tells me it is possible ...

### Understanding this ODE

(I did not change anything, I just rewrote the ODE in a simpler form): I started with an ODE (first ODE) : $-(1-x^2)y''(x) +x y'(x) - \left( \alpha x + \gamma x^2 \right) y(x) = \lambda y(x),$ ...

### A closed form for $\int_{0}^{\pi/2} x^3 \ln^3(2 \cos x)\:\mathrm{d}x$

We already know that \begin{align} \displaystyle & \int_{0}^{\pi/2} x \ln(2 \cos x)\:\mathrm{d}x = -\frac{7}{16} \zeta(3), \\\\ & \int_{0}^{\pi/2} x^2 \ln^2(2 \cos x)\:\mathrm{d}x = ...

### Determining the maximum value for the solution of this delay differential equation?

I am working on the following delay differential equation $$\frac{df}{dt}=f-f^3-\alpha f(t-\delta)\tag{1},$$ where $\frac{1}{2}\leq\alpha\leq 1$ and $\delta\geq 1$. I know that there are three ...

### Is there a finite non-solvable group which is $p$-solvable for every odd $p\in\pi(G)$?

Let $G$ be a finite non-solvable group and let $\pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors of order of $G$. Can we say that there is $r \in \pi(G)-\{2\}$ such that $G$ is not a $r$-solvable group?

### Evaluating the sum $\lim_{n\to \infty}\sqrt[2]{2+\sqrt[3]{2+\sqrt[4]{2+\cdots+\sqrt[n]{2}}}}$

The following nested radical $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\cdots}}}$$ is known to converge to 2. We can consider a similar nested radical where the degree of the radicals increases: ...

### Invariant tensors in adjoint representation

Suppose we have a simple Lie group $G$ with algebra $\mathfrak{g}=\{X_a\}$, where the generators $X_a$ are in some matrix representation. Is it true that the only invariant rank $n$ tensor in the ...
### Prove that $\frac{d}{dx}(z^kJ_k(z))=z^kJ_{k-1}(z)$ for every $k \geq \frac{1}{2}$.
Prove that $\frac{d}{dx}(z^kJ_k(z))=z^kJ_{k-1}(z)$ for every $k \geq \frac{1}{2}$. Then write an explicit expression for (a) $J_\frac{1}{2}(x)-J_\frac{5}{2}(x)$, and (b) an expression for $J_1+2J_3$ ...
