On unit-capacity links , route zero uses every link and route uses only link . Let and . Under proportional fairness, every active local route has . Maximizing for gives and the displayed per-flow rates on active routes. At the empty state departures vanish, and rates of absent flows may be set to zero.
For the proportionally fair allocation on a linear flow network, independent Poisson flow arrivals at rates and exponential document sizes of rates give a continuous-time Markov chain with departures . Put . Under for each local route, the normalizing constant is . The binomial coefficient weight has adjacent-state ratios equal to the aggregate service rates, proving detailed balance. For more general network topologies, proportional fairness need not give this reversible product form.
Under the hypotheses of the limit form of the special adjoint functor theorem, intersect all subobjects of supporting . Limit preservation gives a smallest supporting . If for maps , their equalizer supports , so minimality makes it invertible and . Thus the indicated map of hom-sets is injective. The evaluation embedding into cogenerator products embeds in a product of cogenerators indexed by the realized subsets of the fixed sets . There are only a set of such products, a set of their subobjects, and a set of maps from into their images under . These data give a weakly initial set in . Using realized subsets avoids assuming maps into every cogenerator exist.
Residual mass-shell action in light-cone string gauge by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
Fixing nonzero longitudinal oscillators leaves the center-of-mass symplectic term, transverse oscillator terms, and a zero-mode multiplier imposing the mass-shell condition. On a patch with , further choosing as time solves that constraint for . This distinguishes partial oscillator gauge fixing from the subsequent time choice.
For a test particle interior to a distant eccentric planet, write . The leading Laplace coefficients are and . Thus its forced eccentricity is and its secular frequency is . More distant inner particles have larger forced orbital eccentricities and faster secular precession, producing a growing gradient of complex eccentricity.
Knaster forcing preserves Suslin trees by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
If is a normal splitting Suslin tree and is Knaster, then is CCC, so forces that the ground tree is still CCC. Countable levels and splitting persist. A new cofinal branch would give an uncountable antichain by splitting, so none is added. This permits adding many Cohen reals while retaining a Suslin tree, and distinguishes Knaster preservation from an unjustified preservation claim for every CCC forcing.
The square is a rank-two Killing tensor. It is symmetric because it pairs the covectors and using the metric. Along every affinely parametrized geodesic, its contraction is the squared norm of the carried by parallel transport covector . Metric compatibility makes that norm constant, proving the Killing tensor equation. On a Riemannian manifold this tensor is positive semidefinite.
Integrated variance of a kernel density estimator by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
For an kernel and an independent sample from a density , the centred kernel density estimator has
independence removes cross terms and Tonelli theorem integrates the pointwise variance. Young's convolution inequality ensures even without . The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality yields the expected-norm bound .
Square-root-radius diffusion transform by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For a steady zero-mass-flux background and constant viscous transport response exponent, this change removes the first derivative in the radial diffusion operator. If , the kinematic viscosity scales as , so the transformed diffusivity scales as . It is constant at .
In any cyclic ordering on points, an antichain contains at most nonempty proper cyclic intervals. The intervals with one prescribed final position are nested, so at most one belongs to the antichain. Summing over final positions proves the bound. Averaging it over cyclic orderings proves the LYM inequality; the empty set and full set must be handled separately.
Uniformly narrow regular-height tree branch theorem by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For infinite regular cardinals , a -tree whose levels all have size less than has a cofinal branch. At levels of cofinality , bound all heights distinguishing distinct predecessor chains. The Fodor lemma makes this bound constant on a stationary set; one predecessor at that height occurs stationarily often. The resulting predecessor chains agree below their common heights and unite into a branch through every level. Distinct limit-level nodes with identical predecessor chains do not affect this argument.
For a separated angular net, two translated unit rectangles of width intersect in area at most a constant times , where is their unoriented angular distance. Each row of their intersection matrix therefore has sum at most . Applying the Schur test to the adjoint averaging operator gives the displayed bound. A wider-tube comparison extends it from the net to all directions. Since , this proves the planar version of the Kakeya maximal conjecture.
Unreduced Jones polynomial by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
Use the Kauffman bracket assigning the empty diagram value and a disjoint circle factor . Correct by the writhe of a link diagram and substitute . Relative to the Jones polynomial normalized to be on the unknot, this unreduced invariant has an additional factor . For a nonempty -component link, its value at is .
Jeffreys prior for a scale parameter by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For a differentiable scale family with finite positive Fisher information, the score is . Its squared expectation is a constant times , yielding the displayed Jeffreys prior. This is an improper prior on the entire positive half-line.

Wright–Fisher diffusion by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
The neutral one-dimensional Wright–Fisher diffusion records a proportion in , with absorbing endpoints, zero drift and generator . Its conditional variance rate is largest near one-half and vanishes at fixation. Mutation or selection variants add drift and must be specified separately.
For the wealth-variable Legendre dual , a finite slope at an absorbing zero-wealth boundary makes identically zero for . Matching gives . It does not generally give : killing at ruin permits the dual curvature to jump.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
