For density $r(x-\theta {)}^{r-1}$ on $[\theta ,\theta +1]$, $0<r<1$, the interior likelihood function increases without bound as $\theta$ approaches the sample minimum. The extended-likelihood estimator is that minimum. An arbitrary finite reassignment of the density at the endpoint can eliminate an attained finite maximum, so the endpoint convention must be stated.

A real matrix is nonnegative when every entry is nonnegative. This entrywise condition differs from being a positive semidefinite matrix: the symmetric matrix $\left(\begin{array}{cc}0& 1\\ 1& 0\end{array}\right)$ is nonnegative but has eigenvalues $1$ and $-1$.

A rational matrix is a matrix whose entries are rational numbers. Multiplying by a common denominator produces an integer matrix and preserves its homogeneous solution set.

A square real matrix is doubly stochastic if its entries are nonnegative and every row and column sums to $1$. Its positive-entry support satisfies the condition of the Hall marriage theorem: for a row subset $S$, $|S|\le |N(S)|$ by summing column capacities. Consequently its support contains a permutation matrix.

The Hermite normal form is a canonical triangular form for an integer matrix under integer elementary row operations or, in the column convention, column operations. In the row convention for a nonsingular rank-two matrix, positive diagonal entries and reduction of the upper-right entry modulo the lower diagonal entry give the row Hermite normal form in rank two.

In ${\epsilon }^2{y}^{\prime \prime }+a(x)y^{\prime }+\cdots =f$, a simple zero $a(x_{\ast })=0$, $a^{\prime }(x_{\ast })\ne 0$, balances diffusion and advection on width $\epsilon$. With $a(x)\simeq 2(x-x_{\ast })$, the leading homogeneous inner equation is $Y^{\prime \prime }+2z{Y}^{\prime }=0$, whose bounded solutions are constants and the error function. Thus distinct order-one outer solutions can match across an interior transition. Reversing the diffusion sign makes the nonconstant homogeneous solution grow at both ends, changing the matching structure.

A uniformly integrable martingale $M_n$ has almost sure convergence and convergence in L1 to an integrable random variable $M_{\infty }$, and $M_n=\mathbb{E}[M_{\infty }\mid {\mathcal{F}}_n]$.

A martingale satisfying ${\sup }_n\mathbb{E}|M_n{|}^p<\infty$, for $1<p<\infty$, has almost sure convergence and convergence in Lp to a limit $M_{\infty }\in L^p$. Also $M_n=\mathbb{E}[M_{\infty }\mid {\mathcal{F}}_n]$. The Doob Lp maximal inequality makes ${\sup }_n|M_n|$ integrable to the power $p$; the martingale convergence theorem gives the almost-sure limit, and the dominated convergence theorem gives convergence in the Lp norm. Boundedness in $L^1$ alone does not imply convergence in L1.

A marginal density is a probability density function for one component of a joint probability distribution. Integrating the joint probability density over the other coordinates gives it; for two components, $f_X(x)=\int f_{X,Y}(x,y)dy$.

For Grassmann-odd spinors in two dimensions with $\bar{\psi }={\psi }^{T}C$, $C^T=-C$ and $({\gamma }^{\mu }{)}^{T}C=-C{\gamma }^{\mu }$, moving components past each other gives $\bar{\chi }ϵ=\overline{ϵ}\chi$ and $\bar{\chi }{\gamma }^{\mu }{\gamma }^{\nu }ϵ=\overline{ϵ}{\gamma }^{\nu }{\gamma }^{\mu }\chi$. The transpose of a two-gamma product reverses its order; the Grassmann sign and the antisymmetry of $C$ cancel. For $\delta \psi =B{\gamma }^{\mu }{\partial }_{\mu }Xϵ$, this also gives $\delta \bar{\psi }=-B\overline{ϵ}{\gamma }^{\mu }{\partial }_{\mu }X$. These identities fix the boundary variation in worldsheet supersymmetry; commuting spinors would not obey the same interchange rule.

Approximate a continuous function on ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$ uniformly by a function constant on residue classes modulo $p^r$. On this finite space, translation $S$ satisfies $S^{p^r}=I$, so ${\Delta }^{p^r}=(S-I{)}^{p^r}$ has every matrix coefficient divisible by $p$. Hence $\Vert {\Delta }^{j{p}^r}\Vert \le p^{-j}$, and the Mahler coefficients of a locally constant function tend to zero. Since $|a_n(f)-a_n(g){|}_p\le \Vert f-g{\Vert }_{\infty }$, uniform approximation proves the assertion for every continuous function. This completes the coefficient-decay part of the Mahler theorem.

For a vertical magnetic field in a homogeneous shearing sheet, a horizontal normal mode with growth rate $s$ and vertical Alfvén frequency ${\omega }_a=k{v}_{Az}$ satisfiesThe two roots for $s^2$ are real. For $q>0$, a growing magnetic mode exists precisely when $0<{\omega }_a^2<2q{\Omega }^2$. Magnetic tension is strong enough to couple radially displaced elements, yet weak enough to allow their separation to increase. Ogilvie's lecture on magnetorotational instability derives this relation and its finite-thickness boundary conditions.

For ideal magnetohydrodynamics at constant mass density $\rho$, a shearing sheet with velocity $-q\Omega x{\mathbf{e}}_y+{\mathbf{v}}_h(z,t)$ and magnetic field ${\mathbf{B}}_h(z,t)+B_z{\mathbf{e}}_z$ obeysHorizontal invariance and vanishing vertical velocity eliminate nonlinear advection. These equations retain Coriolis acceleration, orbital shear and magnetic tension. The vertical pressure adjusts to balance gravity and magnetic pressure.

For the magnetically charged dilaton black hole, the metric-dual one-form of $k={\partial }_t$ is $k^{♭}=-Vdt$. With orientation $dt\wedge dr\wedge d\theta \wedge d\varphi$, its Hodge star operator gives $\star d{k}^{♭}=-V^{\prime }{R}^2\sin \theta d\theta \wedge d\varphi$. Therefore the Komar mass is $R^2{V}^{\prime }/2=r_{+}/2-P^2/r$. Its radial dependence is allowed because the Ricci tensor is nonzero; the divergence of $d{k}^{♭}$ is sourced by $R_{ab}{k}^b$. At the horizon $M_K(r_{+})=(r_{+}-r_{-})/2=\kappa A_H/(4\pi )$.

Rotate any geodesic into an equatorial plane of the magnetically charged dilaton black hole. Conserved energy and angular momentum are $E=V\dot{t}$ and $L=R^2\dot{\varphi }$. Normalizing its tangent to $g(\dot{x},\dot{x})=-ϵ$, with $ϵ=1,0,-1$ for timelike, null and spacelike geodesics, gives ${\dot{r}}^2=E^2-V(ϵ+L^2/R^2)$. Thus its radial equation is ${\dot{r}}^2/2+\tilde{V}=0$. Radial null rays have $\dot{r}=\pm E$ and use the same Schwarzschild tortoise coordinate with $2M$ replaced by $r_{+}$.

For $r_{-}<r_{+}$, an ingoing chart with $v=t+r_{\ast }$ has metric $-Vd{v}^2+2dvdr+R^{2}d{\Omega }_2^2$. In its future interior, $\nabla r={\partial }_v+V{\partial }_r$ is future timelike, so every future causal curve decreases $r$ and cannot reach future null infinity. The singularity $r=r_{-}$ is spacelike. A Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates extension has the same qualitative Penrose diagram as Schwarzschild spacetime, with two exterior regions, a future black-hole interior and a past white hole interior. The past interior has the same radial interval but is not a black hole region; specifying the radial interval alone does not identify the future component. For $r_{-}>r_{+}$, the physical exterior $r>r_{-}$ has $V>0$ everywhere and outgoing null rays escape from arbitrarily near a timelike naked singularity.

The dipolar flux-tube area has $A(r)=A_{\star }(r/R_{\star }{)}^3$. Applying transonic accretion in a power-law tube with $n=3$ and a polytropic equation of state givesHere $c_0$ and ${\rho }_0$ are the reservoir sound speed and mass density, and $c_s$ is the sound speed at the sonic point. The mass accretion rate isFor two equal polar caps of surface angular radius ${\theta }_{\star }\ll 1$, $A_{\star }\simeq 2\pi R_{\star }^2{\theta }_{\star }^2$. One loaded cap gives half the total rate. The finite-radius transonic branch exists for $1<\gamma <7/5$, must cross outside the star ($r_s>R_{\star }$), and requires ${\theta }_{\star }^2{r}_s/R_{\star }\ll 1$ for the sonic region to remain a narrow flux tube.

The inner radius at which a stellar magnetic dipole field disrupts a surrounding accretion disk. In a free fall pressure-balance estimate with fixed aspect ratio $ϵ=H/r$, $r_m\sim ({ϵ}^2{\mu }^4/(GM{\dot{M}}^2){)}^{1/7}$. Geometry and inflow structure change its numerical coefficient.

A rapidly spinning magnetosphere adds angular momentum to inflowing matter outside the corotation radius, inhibiting accretion and potentially ejecting gas. The centrifugal onset condition does not by itself ensure that every parcel escapes to infinity.
