An infinite-dimensional Banach space is hereditarily indecomposable if no closed infinite-dimensional subspace is a topological direct sum of two infinite-dimensional closed subspaces. Equivalently, for any two infinite-dimensional closed subspaces $U,V$ and any $\epsilon >0$, some unit vectors $u\in U,v\in V$ satisfy $\Vert u-v\Vert <\epsilon$. A positive lower bound on such distances would make the addition map from $U\oplus V$ an isomorphism onto a closed subspace.

A closed vector subspace $Y$ of a Banach space $X$ is complemented if a bounded linear operator $P:X\to X$ satisfies $P^2=P$ and $P(X)=Y$. Equivalently, $X$ is the topological direct sum of $Y$ and a closed subspace: a projection gives $X=Y\oplus \ker P$, and the coordinate projection of such a decomposition is bounded.

A Banach space $X$ has cotype $q$, $2\le q<\infty$, if a constant $C$ independent of the number of vectors satisfies $({\sum }_j\Vert x_j{\Vert }^q{)}^{1/q}\le C(\mathbb{E}\Vert {\sum }_j{\epsilon }_j{x}_j{\Vert }^2{)}^{1/2}$ for independent symmetric Rademacher random variables. It prevents many large vectors from having a small random sum.

A Banach space has the Banach-Saks property if every bounded sequence contains a subsequence whose arithmetic averages converge in norm. The weak Banach-Saks property requires this only for weakly convergent sequences. The weak Banach–Saks theorem in a Hilbert space establishes that weak version in Hilbert spaces.

For a closed linear subspace $Y$ of a Banach space $X$, finite codimension means the vector quotient $X/Y$ has finite dimension. This definition does not subtract two infinite dimensions. A local stable manifold has the codimension of its tangent subspace. If the linearized phase space has a direct sum decomposition $X=E^s\oplus E^u$ with $\dim E^u=1$, then $X/E^s$ is isomorphic to $E^u$, so a local stable manifold tangent to $E^s$ has codimension one.

Fix positive integers $a,b$ and a nonzero integer $c$. In positive integer solutions of $a{x}^n-b{y}^n=c$ with $n\ge 1$ and $Y=\max (x,y)>1$, the exponent $n$ is bounded effectively in terms of $a,b,c$.

When $x\ne y$ and the larger-variable power is sufficiently large, put $\Lambda =\log (a/b)+n\log (x/y)$. The equation makes $\Lambda$ nonzero and givesA Baker lower bound for a homogeneous linear form in logarithms gives $\log |\Lambda |\ge -C(a,b)\log Y\log (2n)$: the algebraic numbers are the rationals $a/b$ and $x/y$, the latter has height at most $Y$, and the coefficients are $1,n$. Dividing by $\log Y\ge \log 2$ yields $n\le C\log (2n)+O(1)$, which bounds $n$. If the larger-variable power is bounded, so is $n$. For $x=y>1$, the equation $(a-b)x^n=c$ gives the bound directly.

This is a bound on the exponent. Fixed exponents one or two can still admit infinitely many pairs $(x,y)$; for instance, $2x^2-y^2=1$ is a negative Pell equation after exchanging variables. The Thue theorem must not be applied to this quadratic case. The constant solution $x=y=1$, possible when $a-b=c$, is excluded by $Y>1$.

For $q_t-q_{xxx}=0$ on $x>0$, evaluate the global relation at $k=-ir$, where $\mathrm{Re}p>0$ and the principal cube root $r=p^{1/3}$ has positive real part. The time exponent becomes $-p$, giving the displayed Laplace transform identity. Thus the second-derivative trace is determined once the value and first-derivative traces are prescribed. The homogeneous transformed equation $u^{\prime \prime \prime }-pu=0$ has exactly two spatially decaying roots, so two independent admissible conditions are required. One condition leaves a free decaying mode; three independent conditions generally violate the global constraint.

For deterministic bounds $|M_k-M_{k-1}|\le c_k$, the conditional mean-zero increment has exponential moment at most $e^{{\theta }^2{c}_k^2/2}$. Iteration, the Markov inequality and optimization at $\theta =x/\sum c_k^2$ give each one-sided tail, and the union bound gives the displayed inequality. The factor two in the exponent denominator cannot be omitted: a single symmetric increment of size one has absolute deviation one with probability one.

When $U^{\prime }/r$ is constant and $U\ne c$, the axisymmetric inviscid pipe stability equation reduces to ${\varphi }^{\prime \prime }-{\varphi }^{\prime }/r-k^2\varphi =0$. Axis regularity selects $r{I}_1(kr)$ and impermeability gives $I_1(ka)=0$. These imaginary-wavenumber disturbances are spatially evanescent potential fields, not bounded whole-pipe temporal normal modes; their radial equation supplies no eigenvalue condition on $c$.

A set $I$ is inductive if it contains the empty set and contains $x\cup \{x\}$ whenever it contains $x$. The axiom of infinity asserts that an inductive set exists. The natural numbers form the least inductive set: intersect one inductive set with the class of objects belonging to every inductive set. This use of separation gives a set, and the defining class is closed under successor.

This concerns arbitrary compact spaces, with no Hausdorff restriction. For nonempty sets $A_j$, adjoin a distinguished point ${\infty }_j$ and use the four-open-set topology $\{\varnothing ,A_j,\{{\infty }_j\},A_j\cup \{{\infty }_j\}\}$. Each resulting space is compact without choice. The product has the canonical all-infinity point. The closed coordinate conditions $x_j\in A_j$ have the finite intersection property, since finite choice is provable without the axiom of choice. If the countable product is compact, their intersection is nonempty, and any point in it supplies a choice function.

The background potential energy is the gravitational potential energy of the statically stable state obtained by adiabatically sorting a fluid's parcels. The difference $A=P-P_b$ is available potential energy. Pure rearrangement changes $A$ but not $P_b$; irreversible density mixing can increase $P_b$. Molecular exchange with internal energy must be separated when defining an irreversible mixing rate.

For independent fair signs, $|X_n|\to \infty$ almost surely from every deterministic initial value. Outside $[-L,L]$ with $L>1/(a-1)$, the sign is preserved and $|X_{n+k}|\ge a^k(|X_n|-1/(a-1))+1/(a-1)$. To reach that region, choose $m$ so $(a^m-1)/(a-1)>L$. At the beginning of each $m$-step block, choose the sign of the current value; a block of that sign pushes the absolute value past $L$ and has conditional probability $2^{-m}$. The chance of remaining inside after $k$ blocks is at most $(1-2^{-m}{)}^k$. This proof avoids any assumption about a density of the limiting random series.

For a causal autoregressive model $X_t={\sum }_{j=1}^p{\varphi }_j{X}_{t-j}+{ϵ}_t$ with centered white noise of variance ${\sigma }^2$, multiplying by past values and taking expectations yields $\gamma (h)={\sum }_j{\varphi }_j\gamma (h-j)$ for $h\ge 1$, and $\gamma (0)={\sum }_j{\varphi }_j\gamma (j)+{\sigma }^2$. These Yule-Walker equations determine the autocovariance from the coefficients and noise variance, or estimate coefficients from observed autocovariances. Causality supplies the needed orthogonality of the current noise to past observations.

For $X_t=\alpha X_{t-1}+{\alpha }^2{X}_{t-2}+{\epsilon }_t$, let $\phi =(1+\sqrt{5})/2$. The autoregressive polynomial factors as $(1-\alpha \phi z)(1+\alpha z/\phi )$. Its roots lie outside the closed unit disk exactly when $|\alpha |<1/\phi$. In that causal region,The coefficients follow from ${\psi }_0=1,{\psi }_1=\alpha$ and ${\psi }_j=\alpha {\psi }_{j-1}+{\alpha }^2{\psi }_{j-2}$. They are absolutely summable in the stated region. Causality makes future white noise orthogonal to the observation past, giving forecasts $\alpha X_T+{\alpha }^2{X}_{T-1}$ and $2{\alpha }^2{X}_T+{\alpha }^3{X}_{T-1}$ at horizons one and two.

For a self-injective finite-dimensional algebra, remove the projective vertices from its Auslander–Reiten quiver. The resulting stable quiver has vertices the nonprojective indecomposable modules. Its translation sends the end term of an almost-split exact sequence to its start term. In particular a quiver of shape $\mathbb{Z}{A}_s/⟨{\tau }^e⟩$ has $es$ vertices.

The two sides have $n$ vertices each. Given a nonperfect matching in a graph, choose unmatched vertices $u,v$ on opposite sides. An unmatched neighbour of either supplies a one-edge augmenting path in a matching. Otherwise their neighbours are matched; the matched left vertices corresponding to $N(u)$ and the set $N(v)$ have total size greater than $n$, so they intersect. This supplies the alternating path in a graph $u,b,a,v$ with $ab$ in the matching in a graph. Repeated augmentation produces a perfect matching.

Choose such an augmentation deterministically. Its reverse is specified by at most four vertices, giving at most $2n^4$ preimages for a matching in a graph of the next size. Thus the matching generating function coefficients satisfy $m_k\le 2n^4{m}_{k+1}$.

Each bidder chooses a permitted amount. The bidder with the smallest amount submitted by exactly one bidder wins and pays that amount; if no amount is unique, nobody wins. With object value $V$, the winner's payoff is $V$ minus their bid, and losers pay nothing. Unlike a first-price sealed-bid auction, repeated lowest bids can be disqualified.

In an ideal continuous-price auction with independent private values, bidders remain active up to their valuations. Without a reserve, the last remaining bidder wins at the second-highest valuation. With a reserve price $r$, there is no sale if every valuation is below $r$; otherwise the winner pays the larger of $r$ and the second-highest valuation. Strict versus weak inequalities at the reserve have no revenue effect for continuous valuation distributions. This payment rule is distinct from a first-price sealed-bid auction.

A reserve price is the seller's minimum acceptable price. In an English auction it changes both the sale rule and the payment rule: the highest valuation must exceed the reserve and the winner pays at least the reserve. Mechanisms with different reserves generally have different allocation probabilities, so revenue equivalence need not equate their expected revenues.
