When the random intensity is with having an exponential distribution of rate , the mixed count is the sum of independent Poisson distribution and support-zero geometric distribution counts. The Poisson parameter is and the geometric success probability is . At the law is geometric.
For a uniform prior distribution on with , conditionally independent Poisson distribution observations have sufficient count . Their Bayesian posterior density is proportional to on that bounded interval. The displayed posterior mean is the Bayes estimator under squared error loss, and is generally not the affine Bühlmann credibility estimate.
For a closed -dimensional manifold, Poincare duality holds over without an orientation assumption. The mod-two fundamental class exists because orientation signs disappear. The resulting complementary-degree intersection pairing is a perfect pairing.
Represent one-dimensional homology classes on a closed oriented topological surface by transverse oriented curves and sum their signed crossing points. This gives a bilinear form that is skew-symmetric. A symplectic handle basis has matrix , which is unimodular. In particular, a class detected with intersection or by another integral class is a primitive homology class: the detecting homomorphism splits its rank-one subgroup.
The source-type similarity solution of with whole-line conserved area is , where and . Its volume flux vanishes at the finite front, while the velocity tends to . A reflecting half-line uses twice its prescribed area in these formulas.
For the simplified quadrupole equation , neglecting its time derivative and gravitational driving gives . A radiation-dominated inertia then obeys . On slowly varying subhorizon scales the amplitude is damped by . This coefficient belongs to that truncated collision model, rather than the polarization-inclusive Silk damping equation.
The magnitude of the phase velocity of a real-frequency plane Fourier mode is . In an anisotropic medium it depends on the direction of the wave vector and need not equal the group velocity magnitude.
Primary parametric resonance of a two-to-one oscillator pair by

For weak quadratic coupling between frequencies one and two, the first oscillator's complex amplitude can obey with a constant real second-oscillator amplitude . In real coordinates this is a linear slow system with squared growth rate . Exponential amplification occurs when the modulation amplitude exceeds detuning, . The method of multiple scales is valid over bounded slow time while the physical amplitudes remain in the weak-coupling regime. At equality the slow matrix can have a Jordan block and produce linear growth for some initial phases.
For a nonzero closed subspace of a Hilbert space and a closed subspace of a Hilbert space , this angle measures the worst loss under projection from to . Its positive cosine is a uniform lower bound for . The order of the subspaces matters in general. This is distinct from the smallest angle between two subspaces, whose cosine is a supremum. For equal finite dimensions the cosine is the smallest singular value of the cross Gram matrix of orthonormal bases. When is zero, the infimum is over an empty unit sphere and does not define an angle in ; use a lower-bound formulation instead.
For on , , the monic Generalized Laguerre polynomials have squared norms . The corresponding orthogonal polynomial projection kernel is for nonnegative , and zero otherwise.
Marginal utility pricing with proportional transaction costs by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
At a nonzero optimum, the derivative of expected utility of a proportional transaction cost payoff is zero. Normalized marginal utility therefore prices at for a positive optimum or for a negative optimum. At a zero optimum the one-sided derivative inequalities put inside that interval, so density one works. The competing one-sided-payoff alternative prevents the coercive-maximizer argument from being assumed when a net gain has only one sign.
If two parties share a pure resource of Schmidt rank , a fully refined branch of their local operations has Kraus operator . Hence its operator Schmidt rank is at most . Local ancillas, locally adaptive readouts and refined discarded environments are included in the branch operators. Shared classical randomness only mixes such branches. Classical comparison of records does not increase their operator Schmidt rank.
Over the reals or a finite field with more than two elements, the normalizer of all invertible diagonal matrices in consists of monomial matrices and has quotient over that diagonal subgroup. Over its size is for . For the diagonal subgroup is trivial, so its normalizer is all of , of order six.
At an acoustic boundary, the surface acoustic impedance is the pressure amplitude divided by the velocity amplitude directed into that boundary. With upward surface velocity and harmonic convention , it is . Reflection compares this impedance with the incident fluid's normal acoustic impedance. The velocity orientation and harmonic convention must be fixed before interpreting signs of inertial, elastic, and radiation terms.
Compile each CNOT gate into a Hadamard gate, a Controlled-Z gate, and another Hadamard gate on its target. Every one-bit teleportation implementing a Hadamard gate uses a fixed angle-zero basis. A Pauli frame propagates by classical binary updates without changing a measurement basis. All internal measurements, and any fixed computational output measurements, therefore share one simultaneous layer. Resource preparation and classical processing are not included in this logical measurement depth.
For a coherent club set sequence, the limit points of form a club set whenever . Along these points, strictly increases, so a fixed fiber meets this a club set at most once and cannot reflect at . Under the square principle order-type bound, the fibers with partition all limit ordinals below into non-reflecting pieces.
Decide whether a directed graph has a nonempty directed cycle; self-loops count. This problem is NL-complete. Membership guesses a returning walk of at most the vertex count. For hardness, layer a reachability instance into layers with wait arcs, then add only the backward edge from the target in the last layer to the source in the first. The otherwise acyclic layering has a cycle exactly when the original target is reachable. Zero-length paths must not be treated as cycles.
For a positive-support exponential family , normalization gives . The natural conjugate prior proportional to has logarithmic derivative . If its endpoint density values vanish, integration gives prior expected value . Observations update to and to . The endpoint control for a Laplace-family conjugate posterior justifies the same mean identity after updating, giving an exact credibility estimate with credibility factor .
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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
