A Construction in Multivariable Analysis

by MrOrange, May 30, 2025, 2:11 PM

Construct a continuous real valued function \( f \) on \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) for which
\[
\lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{\|x\|_2 \leq R} f(x) \, dx = 0
\]and for which
\[
\lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{\|x\|_\infty \leq R} f(x) \, dx \text{ does not exist.}
\]

Recurrence trouble

by SomeonecoolLovesMaths, May 28, 2025, 11:27 AM

Let $0 < x_0 < y_0$ be real numbers. Define $x_{n+1} = \frac{x_n + y_n}{2}$ and $y_{n+1} = \sqrt{x_{n+1}y_n}$.
Prove that $\lim_{n \to \infty} x_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} y_n$ and hence find the limit.

1.)
Suppose $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ is differentiable and $|f'(x)|<\frac 12\;\forall\;x\in\mathbb R.$ Show that for some $x_0\in\mathbb R,f(x_0)=x_0.$

3.)
Suppose $f:[0,1]\to\mathbb R$ is differentiable with $f(0)=0.$ If $|f'(x)|\le f(x)\;\forall\;x\in[0,1],$ then show that $f(x)=0\;\forall\;x.$

4.)
Let $S^1=\{z\in\mathbb C:|z|=1\}$ be the unit circle in the complex plane. Let $f:S^1\to S^1$ be the map given by $f(z)=z^2.$ We define $f^{(1)}:=f$ and $f^{(k+1)}=f\circ f^{(k)}$ for $k\ge 1.$ The smallest positive integer $n$ such that $f^n(z)=z$ is called period of $z.$ Determine the total number of points $S^1$ of period $2025.$

6.)
Let $\mathbb N$ denote the set of natural numbers, and let $(a_i,b_i), 1\le i\le 9,$ be nine distinct tuples in $\mathbb N\times\mathbb N.$ Show that there are $3$ distinct elements in the set $\{2^{a_i}3^{b_i}:1\le i\le 9\}$ whose product is a perfect cube.

8.)
Let $n\ge 2$ and let $a_1\le a_2\le\cdots\le a_n$ be positive integers such that $$\sum_{i=1}^n a_i=\prod_{i=1}^n a_i.$$Prove that $$\sum_{i=1}^n a_i\le 2n$$and determine when equality holds.

Trigo or Complex no.?

(a) Let $y=\cos \phi+\cos 2 \phi$, where $\phi=\frac{2 \pi}{5}$. Verify by direct substitution that $y$ satisfies the quadratic equation $2 y^2=3 y+2$ and deduce that the value of $y$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$.
(b) Let $\theta=\frac{2 \pi}{17}$. Show that $\sum_{k=0}^{16} \cos k \theta=0$
(c) If $z=\cos \theta+\cos 2 \theta+\cos 4 \theta+\cos 8 \theta$, show that the value of $z$ is $-(1-\sqrt{17}) / 4$.



I could solve (a) and (b). Can anyone help me with the 3rd part please?

Let $n$ be an even positive integer. Let $p$ be a monic, real polynomial of degree $2 n$; that is to say, $p(x)=$ $x^{2 n}+a_{2 n-1} x^{2 n-1}+\cdots+a_1 x+a_0$ for some real coefficients $a_0, \ldots, a_{2 n-1}$. Suppose that $p(1 / k)=k^2$ for all integers $k$ such that $1 \leq|k| \leq n$. Find all other real numbers $x$ for which $p(1 / x)=x^2$.

For a positive integer $n$, let $f_n(x)=\cos (x) \cos (2 x) \cos (3 x) \cdots \cos (n x)$. Find the smallest $n$ such that $\left|f_n^{\prime \prime}(0)\right|>2023$.

Possible values of determinant of 0-1 matrices

by mathematics2004, Nov 2, 2021, 4:38 PM

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be the set of all $2021 \times 2021$ matrices with at most two entries in each row equal to $1$ and all other entries equal to $0$.
Determine the size of the set $\{ \det A : A \in M \}$.
Here $\det A$ denotes the determinant of the matrix $A$.

a) Let $f\in C[0,b]$, $g\in C(\mathbb R)$ and let $g$ be periodic with period $b$. Prove that $\int_0^b f(x) g(nx)\,\mathrm dx$ has a limit as $n\to\infty$ and
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_0^b f(x)g(nx)\,\mathrm dx=\frac 1b \int_0^b f(x)\,\mathrm dx\cdot\int_0^b g(x)\,\mathrm dx$$
b) Find
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_0^\pi \frac{\sin x}{1+3\cos^2nx}\,\mathrm dx$$

Let $f\in C^1(a,b)$, $\lim_{x\to a^+}f(x)=\infty$, $\lim_{x\to b^-}f(x)=-\infty$ and $f'(x)+f^2(x)\geq -1$ for $x\in (a,b)$. Prove that $b-a\geq\pi$ and give an example where $b-a=\pi$.
