At a regular constrained extremum of on , the tangent derivatives of vanish. Since is normal to the constraint surface, the Lagrange multiplier condition is
One solves these equations and then compares the resulting candidates, including any boundary or singular cases.
Let the base have dimensions and , and let the height be . Measure cardboard relative to the thickness of the front and back. The weighted amount used is
because the bottom has triple thickness, the two front and back faces have ordinary thickness, and the two side faces have double thickness. The constraint is .
The multiplier equations are
They imply
Thus and ; imposing gives . Therefore
This is the global minimum: by the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality,
and equality holds at these dimensions. This is an instance of weighted open-box minimization.
Since
the critical points are exactly
The holomorphic inverse function theorem shows that is conformal locally everywhere else.
For ,
Its imaginary part is positive throughout . On the three boundary pieces,
These intervals traverse the boundary of the upper half-plane. The inverse branch
exists for , proving that the image is precisely
This is the hyperbolic-cosine half-strip map.
After the sides are identified in pairs, the polygonal-schema Euler count gives one face, edges and some number of vertices. The Euler characteristic of a closed orientable genus- surface is , so
For genus two, take a regular octagon in the Poincare disc model and identify each side with its opposite side, with the orientation reversed along the boundary. One cyclic labelling is
The quotient has , , and , hence Euler characteristic and genus two. All eight vertices become one point, so smoothness requires their angles to sum to . Each interior angle is consequently
Equivalently, the hyperbolic polygon area formula shows that the regular hyperbolic octagon fundamental polygon has area
as required by the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a genus-two surface of curvature .
For a linear map , its rank is and its nullity is . The rank-nullity theorem states that, when is finite-dimensional,
To prove it, take a basis of and extend it to a basis
of . The vectors span . They are also linearly independent: if , then , and independence of the chosen basis forces every to vanish. Thus the rank is and the nullity is .
For the given subspace, row reduction of the coefficient matrix gives
Taking and therefore gives
Hence

A Givens rotation is the identity except in rows and columns , where it has the block
For and , choose

If both entries vanish, any angle works.
For the given matrix, first use
It gives
Then use
Thus is
All leading row entries are positive. The resulting QR decomposition by Givens rotations is
where
and is the matrix above. Since it is a product of transposed rotations, is orthogonal.
Let point downslope and point normally away from the plane, with . Write the parallel velocity as and take to be the magnitude of the air's upslope stress. The steady equations are
with boundary conditions
The free-surface condition makes , and integration gives
The surface velocity, downslope shear exerted by the fluid on the plane, and volume flux per unit width are
Thus the inclined viscous film with opposing surface shear reverses in the three senses when
The order of increasing required air stress is therefore
Differentiate under the integral and use :
The omitted boundary term vanishes if the current is localized sufficiently rapidly. A steady current obeys charge conservation , hence
For much larger than the source size,
Localization and imply . They also imply
by integrating . Thus the first nonzero moment is antisymmetric and can be written using the magnetic dipole moment
Consequently the Coulomb-gauge vector potential of a localized steady current has far field
The dimensions are
