  • Signed measures

    7384 Signed Measure If v is a signed measure, E is v-null if |v|(E)=0 Proof. "<==" Since |v|(E)=v+(E)+v-(E)=0 v+(E)=v-(E)=0. Since v+ and v- are positive measures, v+(E)=v-(E)=0.

  • Vectors : Identities and Dot Products

    Then we have: ||u + v||^2= (u+v, u+v)= (u, u)+ (u, v)+ (v, u)+ (v, v) and similarly: ||u - v||^2= (u-v, u-v)= (u, u)- (u, v)- (v, u)+ (v, v) Now let's add these two expressions and we get: ||u + v||^2 + ||u-v||^2 = 2(u, u)+ 2(v, v)= 2|

  • Transformations in Hom(v,v)

    It has an identity transformation e such that e(v)=v for any v in V. So for any f in Hom(V,V), we have (fe)(v)=f(e(v))=f(v) and (ef)(v)=e(f(v))=f(v). So fe=ef.

  • Manipulation of a summation with application to finance math and interest rates.

    (2) Subtracting (1) - (2) yields a_n - va_n =(v+v^2+...+v^n)-(v^2+v^3+...+v^{n+1}) = v - v^{n+1}. i.e. a_n (1-v) = v(1-v^n) and so a_n = v(1-v^n)/(1-v). But 1-v = 1 - 1/(1+i) = (1+i-1)/(1+i) = i/(1+i).
