Hello all, I recently wrote a shader that's only purpose was to fade out an all white texture passed to it, this texture is saved to a render target and then passed back into the shader. This works unless I set the fade value greater than .95f. When it's higher than .95f the color doesn't fade to black but to .1921f and stops. I initially tried the following pixel shader:

float4 PixelShaderFunction(float4 cin : COLOR0, float2 coords: TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 {   cin = tex2D(inputsampler, coords)*.99;   return cin; }

with this the color does indeed fade, but not completely, the same thing happens when I use:

float4 PixelShaderFunction(float4 cin : COLOR0, float2 coords: TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 {   cin = lerp(float4(0, 0, 0, 1), tex2D(inputsampler, coords), float4(.99f, .99f, .99f, .99f));   return cin; }

HOWEVER! When I use the following function, the color does fade completely as expected:

float4 PixelShaderFunction(float4 cin : COLOR0, float2 coords: TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 {   cin = floor((tex2D(inputsampler, coords) * .99f)*255.0f);   return cin/255.0f; }

Why aren't the first two functions working as expected?! I can't see it being floating point precision, so what gives? Just in case it's something in my drawing function, here it is:

protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime) {     graphics.GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(rtA);     graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Black);     spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteSortMode.Texture, BlendState.Opaque, null, null, null, Diffusion);     spriteBatch.Draw(Feedback, Vector2.Zero, Color.Black);     spriteBatch.End();               graphics.GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(rtB);     graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Black);     spriteBatch.Begin();     spriteBatch.Draw(rtA, Vector2.Zero, Color.White);     spriteBatch.End();     Feedback = rtB;     graphics.GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(null);     graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Black);     spriteBatch.Begin();     spriteBatch.Draw(rtB, Vector2.Zero, Color.White);     spriteBatch.End();     base.Draw(gameTime); }

In the first example, you multiply with a double precision value. You can try adding an f in the end in case that the compiler don't convert it.

I suspect that the input to the lerp function is in the wrong order in the second example since you pass a constant as variable s.

I don't see why you multiply with 0.99.

In the first example, adding f to the end does not help, this really doesn't seem to be an issue with precision from what I can tell.

The second example, I am lerping by a constant because the sampled color is the result of the last lerp operation.

I use .99 in all these examples because I want to remove 1% of the color value each pass, it's an extreme case but it is unusual that it doesn't work and a 4% lower value does.

What color depth is your render targets using?

Hello Dawoodoz. You pretty much hit the nail on the head from what I found out last night, if I switch the surface format to use Vector4 then it behaves as expected in all cases, before that I was only using Color which provides 8 bits. When the color would reach .1921f (49) and get passed to the shader, the shader would multiply it by .99 giving us .1901 (48.495). From what I can gather although I can't find an official answer, is that something is causing that value to be consistently rounded upwards so when it is converted back into the Color Format, once it gets to 48.495 it gets rounded back up to 49 and will never return a lower value after reaching that point.

If one runs the following code in a pixel shader:

float4 PixelShaderFunction(float4 cin : Color0, float2 coords : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 { cin = float4(.190235f, .190235f, .190235f, 1); return cin; }

you can see this rounding up behavior. 255.0f/49.0f = .192156 * .99f = .190235 * 255.0f = 48.51f. From previous experience in programming I'm used to the default behavior to be rounding down. In this case it seems the default behavior is to round up instead. Is this behavior documented anywhere?

 J. S. Shiner Physics , 1999, Abstract: The disorder and a simple convex measure of complexity are studied for rank ordered power law distributions, indicative of criticality, in the case where the total number of ranks is large. It is found that a power law distribution may produce a high level of complexity only for a restricted range of system size (as measured by the total number of ranks), with the range depending on the exponent of the distribution. Similar results are found for disorder. Self-organized criticality thus does not guarantee a high level of complexity, and when complexity does arise, it is self-organized itself only if self-organized criticality is reached at an appropriate system size.
 S. Hergarten Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) & Discussions (NHESSD) , 2003, Abstract: Power-law distributions of landslides and rockfalls observed under various conditions suggest a relationship of mass movements to self-organized criticality (SOC). The exponents of the distributions show a considerable variability, but neither a unique correlation to the geological or climatic situation nor to the triggering mechanism has been found. Comparing the observed size distributions with models of SOC may help to understand the origin of the variation in the exponent and finally help to distinguish the governing components in long-term landslide dynamics. However, the three most widespread SOC models either overestimate the number of large events drastically or cannot be consistently related to the physics of mass movements. Introducing the process of time-dependent weakening on a long time scale brings the results closer to the observed statistics, so that time-dependent weakening may play a major part in the long-term dynamics of mass movements.
 Physics , 2007, Abstract: To describe and analyze the dynamics of Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) systems, a four-state continuous-time Markov model is proposed in this paper. Different to computer simulation or numeric experimental approaches commonly employed for explaining the power law in SOC, in this paper, based on this Markov model, using E.T.Jayness' Maximum Entropy method, we have derived a mathematical proof on the power law distribution for the size of these events. Both this Makov model and the mathematical proof on power law present a new angle on the universality of power law distributions, they also show that the scale free property exists not necessary only in SOC system, but in a class of dynamical systems which can be modelled by the proposed Markov model.
 Markus J. Aschwanden Physics , 2010, Abstract: Nonlinear dissipative systems in the state of self-organized criticality release energy sporadically in avalanches of all sizes, such as in earthquakes, auroral substorms, solar and stellar flares, soft gamma-ray repeaters, and pulsar glitches. The statistical occurrence frequency distributions of event energies $E$ generally exhibit a powerlaw-like function $N(E)\propto E^{-\alpha_E}$ with a powerlaw slope of $\alpha_E \approx 1.5$. The powerlaw slope $\alpha_E$ of energies can be related to the fractal dimension $D$ of the spatial energy dissipation domain by $D=3/\alpha_E$, which predicts a powerlaw slope $\alpha_E=1.5$ for area-rupturing or area-spreading processes with $D=2$. For solar and stellar flares, 2-D area-spreading dissipation domains are naturally provided in current sheets or separatrix surfaces in a magnetic reconnection region. Thus, this universal scaling law provides a useful new diagnostic on the topology of the spatial energy dissipation domain in geophysical and astrophysical observations.
 Physics , 2000, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.61.7243 Abstract: A new type of spatial-temporal correlation in the process approaching to the self-organized criticality is investigated for the two simple models for biological evolution. The change behaviors of the position with minimum barrier are shown to be quantitatively different in the two models. Different results of the correlation are given for the two models. We argue that the correlation can be used, together with the power-law distributions, as criteria for self-organized criticality.
 Frederic von Wegner Applied Mathematics (AM) , 2014, DOI: 10.4236/am.2014.513198 Abstract: A simple stochastic mechanism that produces exact and approximate power-law distributions is presented. The model considers radially symmetric Gaussian, exponential and power-law functions inn= 1, 2, 3 dimensions. Randomly sampling these functions with a radially uniform sampling scheme produces heavy-tailed distributions. For two-dimensional Gaussians and one-dimensional exponential functions, exact power-laws with exponent –1 are obtained. In other cases, densities with an approximate power-law behaviour close to the origin arise. These densities are analyzed using Padé approximants in order to show the approximate power-law behaviour. If the sampled function itself follows a power-law with exponent –α, random sampling leads to densities that also follow an exact power-law, with exponent -n/a – 1. The presented mechanism shows that power-laws can arise in generic situations different from previously considered specialized systems such as multi-particle systems close to phase transitions, dynamical systems at bifurcation points or systems displaying self-organized criticality. Thus, the presented mechanism may serve as an alternative hypothesis in system identification problems.
 Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics (NPG) , 1994, Abstract: Fractal and occasionally multifractal behaviour has been invoked to characterize (independently of their magnitude) the spatial distribution of seismic epicenters, whereas more recently, the frequency distribution of magnitudes (irrespective of their spatial location) has been considered as a manifestation of Self-Organized Criticality (SOC). In this paper we relate these two aspects on rather general grounds, (i.e. in a model independent way), and further show that this involves a non-classical SOC. We consider the multifractal characteristics of the projection of the space-time seismic process onto the horizontal plane whose values are defined by the measured ground displacements, we show that it satisfies the requirements for a first order multifractal phase transition and by implication for a non-classical SOC. We emphasize the important consequences of the stochastic alternative to the classical (deterministic) SOC.
 Physics , 1994, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.742 Abstract: The origin of self-organized criticality in a model without conservation law (Olami, Feder, and Christensen, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 68}, 1244 (1992)) is studied. The homogeneous system with periodic boundary condition is found to be periodic and neutrally stable. A change to open boundaries results in the invasion of the interior by a self-organized'' region. The mechanism for the self-organization is closely related to the synchronization or phase-locking of the individual elements with each other. A simplified model of marginal oscillator locking on a directed lattice is used to explain many of the features in the non-conserved model: in particular, the dependence of the avalanche-distribution exponent on the conservation parameter $\alpha$ is examined.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: We try to design a simple model exhibiting self-organized criticality, which is amenable to a rigorous mathematical analysis. To this end, we modify the generalized Ising Curie-Weiss model by implementing an automatic control of the inverse temperature. For a class of symmetric distributions whose density satisfies some integrability conditions, we prove that the sum $S_{n}$ of the random variables behaves as in the typical critical generalized Ising Curie-Weiss model. The fluctuations are of order $n^{3/4}$ and the limiting law is $C \exp(-\lambda x^{4})\,dx$ where $C$ and $\lambda$ are suitable positive constants.
 Physics , 2005, DOI: 10.1016/j.physa.2007.02.096 Abstract: We show that there is a common mode of origin for the power laws observed in two different models: (i) the Pareto law for the distribution of money among the agents with random saving propensities in an ideal gas-like market model and (ii) the Gutenberg-Richter law for the distribution of overlaps in a fractal-overlap model for earthquakes. We find that the power laws appear as the asymptotic forms of ever-widening log-normal distributions for the agents' money and the overlap magnitude respectively. The identification of the generic origin of the power laws helps in better understanding and in developing generalized views of phenomena in such diverse areas as economics and geophysics.

## IFRS Reconciliation Adjustments for Sidus Space Inc. Class A Common Stock

1. When determining whether the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses is required, an entity shall consider reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort and that may affect the credit risk on a financial instrument in accordance with paragraph 5.5.17(c). An entity need not undertake an exhaustive search for information when determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition.
2. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows are managed to realise cash flows by collecting contractual payments over the life of the instrument. That is, the entity manages the assets held within the portfolio to collect those particular contractual cash flows (instead of managing the overall return on the portfolio by both holding and selling assets). In determining whether cash flows are going to be realised by collecting the financial assets' contractual cash flows, it is necessary to consider the frequency, value and timing of sales in prior periods, the reasons for those sales and expectations about future sales activity. However sales in themselves do not determine the business model and therefore cannot be considered in isolation. Instead, information about past sales and expectations about future sales provide evidence related to how the entity's stated objective for managing the financial assets is achieved and, specifically, how cash flows are realised. An entity must consider information about past sales within the context of the reasons for those sales and the conditions that existed at that time as compared to current conditions.
3. For the purpose of this Standard, reasonable and supportable information is that which is reasonably available at the reporting date without undue cost or effort, including information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Information that is available for financial reporting purposes is considered to be available without undue cost or effort.
4. Hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39 that also qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with the criteria of this Standard (see paragraph 6.4.1), after taking into account any rebalancing of the hedging relationship on transition (see paragraph 7.2.25(b)), shall be regarded as continuing hedging relationships.

*International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adjustment process involves reviewing the company's financial statements and identifying any differences between the company's current accounting practices and the requirements of the IFRS. If there are any such differences, neural network makes adjustments to financial statements to bring them into compliance with the IFRS.

# Intuitive explanation of the inverse square power $\frac{1}{r^2}$ in Newton's law of gravity

Is there an intuitive explanation why it is plausible that the gravitational force which acts between two point masses is proportional to the inverse square of the distance $r$ between the masses (and not only to the inverse of $r$)?

-
Possible duplicate: physics.stackexchange.com/q/47084/2451 – Qmechanic Dec 19 '12 at 14:20
This is essentially the same question, with charge replaced by mass: physics.stackexchange.com/q/32948 – DJBunk Dec 19 '12 at 14:23
In this context there is Bertrand's theorem: books.google.de/…, but I don't know if there is an intuitive proof for this (which would lead to another answer to your question) – student Nov 14 '13 at 17:29

Richard Feynman explains it wonderfully in his lectures on the "Character of Physical Law". You could have a look at this video.

One way to see it is that the inverse square law just is. There were experiments done to determine how one mass affects the other and then the result was that the force between them varies as the inverse square of the distance between them. But clearly that is neither intuitive nor obtained from "first principles". In other words, once we have the experimental data, who is there to explain it?

You can see that it has to be an inverse square law by symmetry. The other arguments for this question involve gravitons, but the argument works just as well even for fields.

From the image a general idea of the argument can be seen. The argument goes like so:

If you consider a point mass in space, and then claim that it has a "gravitational field" around it, then from the law of conservation of energy the energy of the field has to be conserved in all space. But since the source of the field is a point mass, it is also clear that the field has to be spherically symmetric (since from every region around the point mass, the point mass looks the same). So if we consider a spherical region around the point and measure the total field passing through that surface (called the flux of the field) and then consider another spherical region with a larger radius and measure the field passing through that surface, the total field through both spherical surfaces must be equal.

But the surface area of the sphere goes up as $4\pi r^2$. Therefore for the flux through both spherical surfaces to be the same, the field has to go down as $1/r^2$.

-

If you think of the gravitational force carried by particles like gravitons, the flux of these force-carriers would fall off like $1/r^2$, just like photons from a point source. And that is due to the fact that they are spread out over a sphere with area $4\pi r^2$.

-

Inverse-square laws are completely geometry-based.

Let us assume a point source. This point source may emit anything such as Gravity, Light, Sound, Radiation, etc. One thing to note in these point sources - They spread their influence equally in all directions (approaching infinity) without limit to their covered range.

For instance let us assume light. It emerges as spherical wave-fronts from this point source. Taking a slice off this sphere and when projected in a perspective view, we'd get a square matrix of order of $\text{your distance}$. If you take $2 m$, then it'd be in a $2\times 2$ matrix which has $4$ elements which basically takes the square. If we look - into with our goggles somewhat, we'd see that these spherical wave-fronts spread in the form of $\text{your distance}$ as their radii $r$.

We know that the actual source strength of gravity is $4\pi GM$ whereas the surface area traversed by the spheres is $4\pi r^2$ and it results in the gravitational field intensity $$I=\frac{GM}{r^2}$$

-

Two answers come to mind (I assume this explanation is to be provided to non-specialists and non-would-be-specialists, as there is intuitive in the question):

1. Argue by "heavy body and satellite problem" that other values make no sense (of course this can rule out $r^{-1}$ but not $r^{-1.9992}$). Data for comparison - how long is the Martian year (or year on Pluto).

2. Say that the body emits gravitons in all directions and the total flux of gravitons has to be preserved which implies $r^{-2}$.

The second "argument" gives -2 power, but also is an "proof" by a unverified conjecture. Nevertheless it requires no calculation, therefore qualifies for intuitive.

-

No, there is no intuitive explanation why the gravitational force which acts between two point masses is proportional to the inverse square of the distance $r$ between the masses. All geometrical reasonings involve surfaces, not the point-like bodies, so they are too speculative.

-
Why is proceeding from point-like bodies to surfaces is "too speculative"? At least in the framework of classical physics. Though, frankly speaking, I see no explanation for the square power in classics, being it geometrical or not. Nevertheless if there some general principal prohibiting transition from points to surfaces, I'd like to know it. – Yrogirg Dec 20 '12 at 8:19
Points do not have surfaces (or their surfaces vanish) whereas the force does not depend on the actual surfaces, but on the distance. – Vladimir Kalitvianski Dec 20 '12 at 8:28
I want to do something with it, could you please join the chat? chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/6805/… – Yrogirg Dec 20 '12 at 17:01
What do you think is more flawed --- transition from points to surfaces or from the force between two bodies to a field? – Yrogirg Dec 21 '12 at 12:48
Transition to a field. Field makes sense only as an "external" force in the equation of motion of another body. – Vladimir Kalitvianski Dec 21 '12 at 12:52

# Double (manifold)

In the subject of manifold theory in mathematics, if ${\displaystyle M}$ is a manifold with boundary, its double is obtained by gluing two copies of ${\displaystyle M}$ together along their common boundary.[1] Precisely, the double is ${\displaystyle M\times \{0,1\}/\sim }$ where ${\displaystyle (x,0)\sim (x,1)}$ for all ${\displaystyle x\in \partial M}$.

Although the concept makes sense for any manifold, and even for some non-manifold sets such as the Alexander horned sphere, the notion of double tends to be used primarily in the context that ${\displaystyle \partial M}$ is non-empty and ${\displaystyle M}$ is compact.

## Doubles bound

Given a manifold ${\displaystyle M}$, the double of ${\displaystyle M}$ is the boundary of ${\displaystyle M\times [0,1]}$. This gives doubles a special role in cobordism.

## Examples

The n-sphere is the double of the n-ball. In this context, the two balls would be the upper and lower hemi-sphere respectively. More generally, if ${\displaystyle M}$ is closed, the double of ${\displaystyle M\times D^{k}}$ is ${\displaystyle M\times S^{k}}$. Even more generally, the double of a disc bundle over a manifold is a sphere bundle over the same manifold. More concretely, the double of the Möbius strip is the Klein bottle.

If ${\displaystyle M}$ is a closed, oriented manifold and if ${\displaystyle M'}$ is obtained from ${\displaystyle M}$ by removing an open ball, then the connected sum ${\displaystyle M{\mathrel {\#}}-M}$ is the double of ${\displaystyle M'}$.

The double of a Mazur manifold is a homotopy 4-sphere.[2]

# Doodles in Markdown

This website is powered by a self-written bit of software that converts markdown, typescript and scss into html, javascript and css. In the markdown convertor, I've extended it to support the ability to draw doodles via Rough.js.

Rough.js is a tool that can draw basic shapes to either Canvas or SVG elements. I've opted to generate the doodles via SVG elements so they can be baked directly into the generated HTML pages.

This is acheived by intercepting a markdown code block with the "doodle" language. The markdown to html conversion emits embedded SVG instead of the code block.

For example, we can draw an arrow and a polygon:

doodle
arrow -50 0 0 0 red
polygon 50 0 100 50 100 100 0 100 green

Which results in generating the following doodle.

It is also possible to include a simple SVG and have it rendered in the doodle style. This is accomplished by using markdown image syntax where the path points to a file with a .svg!doodle extension.

Note: This does not support many SVG features, only simple shapes and solid colors.

Here is the same SVG above, but included without the doodle style:

# Connections between K-Theory and PDEs?

I've recently spent some time learning (the very basics of) K-theory for $C^*$-algebras and topological K-theory. Actually, my main fields of interest are PDEs and related topics, in particular functional calculus for unbounded operators, Sobolev/Bessel potential/Besov spaces, interpolation theory, semigroups and so on. You get the idea. Now I would like to deepen (and broaden) my knowledge about the machinery of K-theory, ideally by learning some interesting connection to said PDE-related topics such as for example some PDE-relevant result admitting a proof with a k-theoretic flavour. Or some general idea how K-theory might provide insight into (or an interesting point of view on) some PDE-related results or concepts.

So I'd be very thankful, and I hope this request is not too broad, if you could provide me with some examples of interesting relations, if they exist, between K-theory and mentioned PDE-related topics.

I would suggest the Atiyah–Singer index theorem if this counts as a PDE-related topic.

This is a theorem about elliptic differential operators on compact manifolds. The original proof uses K-theory.

• Thank you, Rasmus! This seems to be a very good example. Still I wonder whether there are other good examples out there. – lvb Sep 29 '10 at 17:31
• If I understand correctly, this is perhaps the example -- most other results of a similar flavor will just be special cases (or mild generalizations). In any case, there's a decent bit of K-theory that goes into the proof, which is really fun and draws on a lot of different parts of geometry, topology, and PDEs. If I didn't know better, I'd almost be suspicious that you were fishing for this answer in the first place! – Aaron Mazel-Gee Apr 18 '11 at 16:18

As mentioned in the previous answer, the Atiyah-Singer index theorem is an excellent answer to your question. I would like to convince you that, in a sense, it is probably the only answer to your question. Fortunately that one theorem admits so many applications, generalizations, and elaborations that it almost becomes an area of mathematics unto itself (particularly when infused with the tools of C*-algebra theory).

My first remark is that K-theory is an inherently global tool - its power lies in the fact that it is built from but insensitive to the details of local geometry. From what I understand about PDE theory many of the interesting questions live on open balls in Euclidean space, about which algebraic topology in general has little new to contribute. Even when one considers boundary value problems where the geometry gets a little more interesting, the challenges are usually local on the boundary (i.e. the concern is with smoothness, not interesting global structure).

Once we have accepted that we are looking for a global answer to your question, it is natural to ask: is there a sense in which PDE's organize themselves into a full-fledged (co)homology theory? This, after all, is the way that topology usually interacts with other parts of mathematics: one begins with objects whose structure one wants to globalize (e.g. embedded loops, differential forms, vector bundles...) and one aims to build algebraic invariants out of those objects. In the case of PDE's the answer is K-homology, a generalized homology theory for the category of manifolds with the property that every first order linear elliptic operator $D$ on a manifold $M$ gives rise to a class $[D]$ in $K_*(M)$. K-homology, as the name suggests, is the homology theory which is naturally dual to K-theory, regarded as a (generalized) cohomology theory on the category of manifolds.

So the question is: what can we do with K-homology? The answer is that one can do quite a lot, but as with many constructions in algebraic topology many of the most interesting results involve pairings between homology and cohomology. The most fundamental pairing between K-homology and K-theory is the so-called index pairing, which takes an elliptic operator and a vector bundle and spits out the Fredholm index of the operator "twisted" by the bundle. The Atiyah-Singer index theorem is really a theorem about the topological properties of this pairing, and consequently it plays a central role in applications of K-homology.

Here is another way that K-theory will show up when studying PDEs. Say you have an elliptic operator $D$ on a manifold with boundary $M$ and you want to know if you can impose local boundary conditions $B$ so that the boundary value problem $Du=f, Bu\vert_{\partial M}=0$ is well behaved. Here well-behaved means that: there are finitely many linear conditions on $f$ that guarantee the existence of a solution and, when there is a solution, the solutions form a finite dimensional space. In short, you want the operator with boundary conditions to be Fredholm.

A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such a $B$ is given by a triviality condition on the K-theory class of the symbol of $D$ restricted to the boundary. (It should be a pull-back from the K-theory of the boundary.) This was proven by Atiyah and Bott in their paper on the index theorem on manifolds with boundary.

It's the limits of integration that count here. Say you're trying to integrate a hard function, but there's a neat little trick for working out the integral from zero to infinity. That trick probably won't help you if you're integrating from, say, 1 to 5.729.

# Injective function

In mathematics, an injective function (also known as injection, or one-to-one function) is a function that maps distinct elements of its domain to distinct elements of its codomain.[1] In other words, every element of the function's codomain is the image of at most one element of its domain.[2] The term one-to-one function must not be confused with one-to-one correspondence that refers to bijective functions, which are functions such that each element in the codomain is an image of exactly one element in the domain.

A homomorphism between algebraic structures is a function that is compatible with the operations of the structures. For all common algebraic structures, and, in particular for vector spaces, an injective homomorphism is also called a monomorphism. However, in the more general context of category theory, the definition of a monomorphism differs from that of an injective homomorphism.[3] This is thus a theorem that they are equivalent for algebraic structures; see Homomorphism § Monomorphism for more details.

A function f that is not injective is sometimes called many-to-one.[2]

## Definition

Let f be a function whose domain is a set X. The function f is said to be injective provided that for all a and b in X, whenever f(a) = f(b), then a = b; that is, f(a) = f(b) implies a = b.  Equivalently, if ab, then f(a) ≠ f(b).

Symbolically,

${\displaystyle \forall a,b\in X,\;\;f(a)=f(b)\Rightarrow a=b}$

which is logically equivalent to the contrapositive,

${\displaystyle \forall a,b\in X,\;\;a\neq b\Rightarrow f(a)\neq f(b)}$[4][5]

## Examples

• For any set X and any subset S of X, the inclusion map SX (which sends any element s of S to itself) is injective. In particular, the identity function XX is always injective (and in fact bijective).
• If the domain X = or X has only one element, then the function XY is always injective.
• The function f : RR defined by f(x) = 2x + 1 is injective.
• The function g : RR defined by g(x) = x2 is not injective, because (for example) g(1) = 1 = g(−1). However, if g is redefined so that its domain is the non-negative real numbers [0,+∞), then g is injective.
• The exponential function exp : RR defined by exp(x) = ex is injective (but not surjective, as no real value maps to a negative number).
• The natural logarithm function ln : (0, ∞) → R defined by x ↦ ln x is injective.
• The function g : RR defined by g(x) = xn x is not injective, since, for example, g(0) = g(1) = 0.

More generally, when X and Y are both the real line R, then an injective function f : RR is one whose graph is never intersected by any horizontal line more than once. This principle is referred to as the horizontal line test.[2]

## Injections can be undone

Functions with left inverses are always injections. That is, given f : XY, if there is a function g : YX such that for every xX,

g(f(x)) = x (f can be undone by g), then f is injective. In this case, g is called a retraction of f. Conversely, f is called a section of g.

Conversely, every injection f with non-empty domain has a left inverse g, which can be defined by fixing an element a in the domain of f so that g(x) equals the unique preimage of x under f if it exists and g(x) = a otherwise.[6]

The left inverse g is not necessarily an inverse of f, because the composition in the other order, fg, may differ from the identity on Y. In other words, an injective function can be "reversed" by a left inverse, but is not necessarily invertible, which requires that the function is bijective.

## Injections may be made invertible

In fact, to turn an injective function f : XY into a bijective (hence invertible) function, it suffices to replace its codomain Y by its actual range J = f(X). That is, let g : XJ such that g(x) = f(x) for all x in X; then g is bijective. Indeed, f can be factored as inclJ,Yg, where inclJ,Y is the inclusion function from J into Y.

More generally, injective partial functions are called partial bijections.

## Other properties

• If f and g are both injective, then fg is injective.
• If gf is injective, then f is injective (but g need not be).
• f : XY is injective if and only if, given any functions g, h : WX whenever fg = fh, then g = h. In other words, injective functions are precisely the monomorphisms in the category Set of sets.
• If f : XY is injective and A is a subset of X, then f 1(f(A)) = A. Thus, A can be recovered from its image f(A).
• If f : XY is injective and A and B are both subsets of X, then f(AB) = f(A) ∩ f(B).
• Every function h : WY can be decomposed as h = fg for a suitable injection f and surjection g. This decomposition is unique up to isomorphism, and f may be thought of as the inclusion function of the range h(W) of h as a subset of the codomain Y of h.
• If f : XY is an injective function, then Y has at least as many elements as X, in the sense of cardinal numbers. In particular, if, in addition, there is an injection from Y to X, then X and Y have the same cardinal number. (This is known as the Cantor–Bernstein–Schroeder theorem.)
• If both X and Y are finite with the same number of elements, then f : XY is injective if and only if f is surjective (in which case f is bijective).
• An injective function which is a homomorphism between two algebraic structures is an embedding.
• Unlike surjectivity, which is a relation between the graph of a function and its codomain, injectivity is a property of the graph of the function alone; that is, whether a function f is injective can be decided by only considering the graph (and not the codomain) of f.

## Proving that functions are injective

A proof that a function f is injective depends on how the function is presented and what properties the function holds. For functions that are given by some formula there is a basic idea. We use the contrapositive of the definition of injectivity, namely that if f(x) = f(y), then x = y.[7]

Here is an example:

f = 2x + 3

Proof: Let f : XY. Suppose f(x) = f(y). So 2x + 3 = 2y + 32x = 2yx = y. Therefore, it follows from the definition that f is injective.

There are multiple other methods of proving that a function is injective. For example, in calculus if f is a differentiable function defined on some interval, then it is sufficient to show that the derivative is always positive or always negative on that interval. In linear algebra, if f is a linear transformation it is sufficient to show that the kernel of f contains only the zero vector. If f is a function with finite domain it is sufficient to look through the list of images of each domain element and check that no image occurs twice on the list.

Unlike the corresponding statement that every surjective function has a right inverse, this does not require the axiom of choice, as the existence of a is implied by the non-emptiness of the domain. However, this statement may fail in less conventional mathematics such as constructive mathematics. In constructive mathematics, the inclusion {0,1} → R of the two-element set in the reals cannot have a left inverse, as it would violate indecomposability, by giving a retraction of the real line to the set {0,1}.

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 6 m

Concept:

Head loss due to friction in the pipe is given by the Darcy’s formula

${h_f} = \frac{{4fL{V^2}}}{{2gD}}$

where, f = Darcy’s coefficient, L = length of pipe, V = velocity of liquid flow, D = diameter of pipe

Calculation:

Given:

f = 0.01962, L = 10 m, V = 10 m/s, D = Hydraulic diameter = 4AC/P

$D = \frac{{4 \times 1 \times 0.5}}{{2\left( {1 + 0.5} \right)}} = 0.66\;m$

${h_f} = \frac{{4 \times 0.01962 \times 10 \times {{10}^2}}}{{2 \times 9.81 \times 0.66}} = 6.06\;m$

# Design a DFA to check whether the Given Number is Even

I have the following question

I have designed the following

A Binary String is even if it is ending with 0 and odd if its ending with 1.I have applied this.Im i right ?

UPDATE:

• First, this isn’t a DFA: there’s no $0$ transition from $q_2$. Secondly, it accepts the input $1$, which is odd. – Brian M. Scott Dec 2 '15 at 12:47
• @BrianM.Scott Okay.So for a DFA there should be a transition from every state for each input symbol. – techno Dec 2 '15 at 12:48
• Yes, that’s correct. – Brian M. Scott Dec 2 '15 at 12:48
• @BrianM.Scott well i made a blunder.I thought it should end with a 1 to be even when creating the DFA in that case is the diagram partially correct. – techno Dec 2 '15 at 12:50
• But if you’re testing for even numbers, you want to accept the inputs that end in $0$, not $1$. – Brian M. Scott Dec 2 '15 at 12:53

Your answer is incorrect. It rejects strings that are even and therefore should be accepted, like $1100$, and accepts strings that are odd and therefore should be rejected, like $1$.
The correct automaton needs to remember whether the last character read was $1$ or $0$, so we need two states: the initial state and an accepting state. When a $0$ is read, transfer to the accepting state or remain there if we were in the accepting state already. When a $1$ is read, transfer to the initial state or remain there if we were in the initial state already.
When the entire string has been read, if the last character was $0$, we'll be in the accepting state and we'll accept the string as even. If the last character was $1$, we'll be in the initial state and reject the string as odd.

In mathematical finite group theory, the B-theorem (formerly the B-conjecture) states that if C is the centralizer of an involution of a finite group, then every component of C/O(C) is the image of a component of C (Gorenstein 1983, p. 7 and chapter 3).

# Generating covariance matrices as defined in MATLAB

1. Jul 12, 2012

### varth

Hi, I'm fairly new to matlab and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. If I have an N*N matrix, C where the (k,l)-entry is defined as:
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/556394_10151031836051952_2120388553_n.jpg [Broken]

Where x_i is from an N-vector where x_i is normally distributed with 0 mean and variance 1. So x_i ~ N(0,1).
And so the vector, x= [x_1 x_2 ... x_N] = [ randn randn ... rand]

For the case N=3, we have
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/532427_10151031836071952_2140805136_n.jpg [Broken]

and x= [x_1 x_2 x_2] = [randn randn randn].

So the (1,2)-entry of C, is: http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/417729_10151031836006952_1450809886_n.jpg [Broken]
which equals (if worked out) (1/3)*[(x_1)*(x_2) + (x_2)*(x_3)]

We can work out all the other entries of C and then get a 3*3 matrix.

All of this I can do my hand but what I want Matlab to do this task but for N=30.

So here x=[x_1 x_2 ... x_30] = [randn randn ... randn]
I need a code to generate my 30*30 matrix C from such set x_i's with the defintion above (N replaced by 30 of course). Does anyone know how I go about doing this?

EDIT: If it helps at all, the diagonal entries are always the same, it is always (1/N)*[(x_1)^2 + (x_2)^2 + ... + (x_N)^2]
and the matrix, C is always symmetric. I would appreciate any help on this; I need to generate these random matrices for a maths project of mine.
