Integrate ln(x + 1)/(x^2 + 1) from 0 to 1

(pi/8)*ln(2)

one can use integration under the integral sign -- e.g., consider ln(ax + 1) / (1 + x^2)

The other way of doing it is trig sub:

x = tan(u)

=> integrate ln(tan(u) + 1) from 0 to pi / 4

=> integrate ln(sin(u) + cos(u)) - ln(cos(u)) from 0 to pi / 4

sin(u) + cos(u) = sqrt(2) * sin(u + pi / 4)

=> rewrite above integral as (ln(sqrt(2)) + ln(sin(u)) from pi / 4 to pi / 2) - (ln(cos(u)) from 0 to pi / 4)

=> integrate (ln(sqrt(2)) + ln(sin(u)) from pi / 4 to pi / 2) - (ln(sin(u)) from pi / 4 to pi / 2)

=> ln(2) * (pi / 8)

Let S be a size n set of tuples s_i = {a_i, b_i, c_i}. All s_i are distinct, but all a_i, b_i, and c_i are not necessarily distinct. Let n_a be the number of distinct tuples {b_i, c_i}, n_b be the number of distinct tuples {a_i, c_i}, and n_c be the number of distinct tuples {a_i, b_i}. Prove that n^2 <= (n_a * n_b * n_c).

Do you mean that, e.g., a_i = a_k for some i != k or that, e.g., a_i = b_k for some i & k or both?

The sets A, B, C are completely separate, a_i could equal a_k for some i != k, or they could all be different.

S is a subset of the Cartesian product of A, B, and C

Also, as writ, it suggests that s_1 = {a_1, b_1, c_1} and s_2 = {a_2, b_2, c_2} and {a_1, b_2, b_3} ∉ S. I take it that's not intended?

Integrate ∫(cos x)/cos(x-a) dx
Substitute u = x − a, use cos(u + a) = cos(u)cos(a) − sin(u)sin(a) and the fact that the antiderivative of tan(u) is ln|sec(u)| + C. Technically we can choose a different constant of integration for every connected component of the domain of tan(u). Lastly we should rewrite the result in terms of x of course.
 
technically they are then multisets

To clarify, A, B, C are finite sets, S is a subset of the Cartesian product A * B * C, n is the cardinality of S, n_a is the number of distinct pairs {b_i, c_i} found in S, n_b is the number of distinct pairs {a_i, c_i} found in S, and n_c is the number of distinct pairs {a_i, b_i} found in S.

Prove that the convolution of any two square integrable functions on R is a continuous function vanishing at infinity.

Bonus: Can every continuous function vanishing at infinity on R be expressed as a convolution of two square integrable functions?

Use approximations to reduce to the (trivial) case where one of the functions is an inducator function with finite support.

I dunno nigga. Doubt it. Do you think you can pass through Fourier transforms to establish properties of a convolution of two square integrable functions that don't hold true for an arbitrary function in C0(R)?

I take it you mean compact support in lieu of finite support. I'm sure something along these lines works, but I don't think this is nearly as trivial as you portray it. E.g., what breaks when I try to do this when one of the functions is integrable and the other one is essentially bounded?

Right, the nontrivial part lies in the technicalities of how you 'approximate' your function (say f) with indicator functions (say f_n), and establishing that such an approximation exists. A pointwise approximation isn't sufficient for instance. You want the existence of a uniform approximation in the sense that the L2-norm of (f - f_n) approaches 0.

If one function is integrable and the other is bounded, well, everything breaks no? Even the 'trivial' case of where the integrable function is a compactly supported indicator function doesn't work. Just take the bounded function to be 1 everywhere.

Indeed. You also need that f_n * g → f * g in a pretty strong sense (which necessitates that f_n → f in a pretty strong sense) to be able to deduce the vanishing at infinity of f * g from f_n * g so you could say that establishing the continuity of f ↦ f * g w.r.t. the right topologies is nontrivial as well.

I meant "what part of your argument breaks when I try to apply it to the case where one is integrable and the other is essentially bounded". I think we've established the answer thereto en passant, so no need to answer it anymore.

3?
 
2. Notice that a_1 + a_2 = a_3.

PS @im done there are some problems with how you phrased the question
  • "non-zero orthonormal vectors" is tautological as orthoNORMAL vectors have a norm of 1 and therefore cannot be zero
  • since a_1 + a_2 = a_3 they are only PAIRWISE independent
  • the phrase "a set of orthonormal vectors from ..." is somewhat ambiguous; better would be "an orthonormal basis of the span of ..."
  • your question can be far more concisely phrased as "find the dimension of the span of a_1, a_2 and a_3"; concise phraseology is generally preferred
this is intended to be constructive feedback

Let a, b and c be complex numbers such that

  • a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 5

Given mn distinct objects and many identical boxes, how many ways are there to group the objects in 2 steps:

Prove that infinitely many powers of 2 cannot be represented as the sum of two triangular numbers.
 
Prove that infinitely many powers of 2 cannot be represented as the sum of two triangular numbers.

(a^2 + a) / 2 + (b^2 + b) / 2 = 2^n

2a^2 + 2b^2 + 2a + 2b = 2^(n + 2)

(a + b + 1)^2 + (a - b)^2 = 2^(n + 2) + 1

There are infinitely many values of 2^(n + 2) + 1 that are divisible by 3 and therefore not written as the sum of 2 squares.

Close. Any number for which every 3 mod 4 prime occurs an even number of times can be written as the sum of two squares, so you have to look at those 2^(n+2) + 1 which are multiples of 3 but not 9 (of which there are infinitely many too).

I wrote the post wrong and forgot that detail.
