Along a solution, the chain rule and antisymmetry of give
because for every real vector . Therefore
The closed level curves around the strict minimum at the coexistence equilibrium are the periodic population cycles of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model.
Since , division of each population equation by gives
Define the Hamiltonian function
and the antisymmetric matrix
Then
At a nonzero fixed point, both bracketed per-capita growth rates vanish:
Hence the coexistence equilibrium of this Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model is
Let be independent standard logistic random variables and define the latent variable
Set exactly when . If is the logistic cumulative distribution function, its symmetry and the identity give
which is precisely the fitted logistic regression.
Two packs contain cigarettes. Holding height fixed, increasing average consumption from zero to two packs per day changes the log odds by
The corresponding odds ratio is therefore
Thus the model estimates that a two-pack-per-day smoker has about times the odds of heart disease of an otherwise comparable nonsmoker. This is an association in the fitted observational model, rather than by itself a causal conclusion.
Let be the indicator that man develops heart disease and let . The fitted logistic regression assumes independent Bernoulli responses with
The set
is the diagonal halting set. It is recursively enumerable by simulating the coded machine, but it is not recursive by the halting problem diagonal argument.
By contrast, is recursive: decode , reject it if it is not a program code, otherwise simulate the program on input for exactly steps and accept precisely if it has halted. This bounded computation always terminates. Thus
A subset is recursive when its indicator function is a total computable function. It is recursively enumerable when it is the domain of a partial computable function, equivalently when an algorithm can enumerate its members.
If is recursive, its indicator decides both and its complement, so both sets are recursively enumerable. Conversely, suppose programs enumerate and . On input , run the two enumerations in parallel by dovetailing. Exactly one must eventually print ; accept in the first case and reject in the second. This algorithm always halts and decides . Hence
Because is a positive-definite matrix, it has a positive-definite inverse square root. Choose the exact inverse-square-root preconditioner
Then
which has one distinct eigenvalue, so preconditioned CG terminates in one step.
This construction is of little computational use because obtaining and applying is generally at least as expensive in storage and arithmetic as directly factoring or solving the original system. A useful preconditioner must only approximate this transformation while remaining cheap to construct and apply.
Let . The displayed lower-bidiagonal matrix satisfies
Since , the Preconditioned conjugate gradient method uses
Solving gives
The rank-one matrix has eigenvalue in the direction and eigenvalue on the -dimensional orthogonal complement of . It therefore has only two distinct eigenvalues. Part (b) gives
For an iterate , the Conjugate gradient method residual is
Two fundamental properties are the Conjugate-gradient residual orthogonality conditions
Equivalently, the residuals generated before convergence are mutually orthogonal and span the successive Krylov spaces.
Since has only distinct eigenvalues, its minimal polynomial has degree at most . Consequently
The two properties then put both inside and orthogonal to , so . Hence , and
The th Krylov subspace is
Because has a complete eigenbasis, decompose

Every generator of therefore belongs to , and
For a discrete memoryless channel with input and output , its information capacity is
where is the mutual information and the maximum is over all input distributions. Capacity is measured in bits when logarithms have base two.
Take a linear combination of the P- and SV-fields from part (b). The rigid boundary condition at gives
The conditions at are the same because the horizontal displacement is even and the vertical displacement is odd. A nonzero pair exists exactly when the determinant vanishes:
Therefore the rigid elastic waveguide mode dispersion relation is
As increases, both and increase without bound. The two sides consequently have infinitely many alternating tangent branches and poles. On successive continuity intervals their relative ordering reverses, so the intermediate value theorem gives infinitely many intersections, corresponding to infinitely many propagating waveguide modes.
Fix . For a P-wave,
Set
Equal-amplitude P-waves with vertical wavenumbers then give, after an irrelevant common normalization,
Thus is even and both scalar functions multiplying and are real.
Similarly, put
Using the in-plane transverse polarizations and for the two vertical directions gives
This has the same required parity and reality properties.
Substitute the harmonic plane wave

The SV-wave lies in the propagation plane, whereas the SH-wave is perpendicular to that plane.
