Junior Problems J493. in Triangle ABC, R = 4R. Prove That ∠A Junior problems ○ J493. In triangle ABC, R = 4r. Prove that ∠A − ∠B = 90 if and only if ¾ ab a b c2 : − = − 2 Proposed by Adrian Andreescu, University of Texas at Austin, USA Solution by Daniel Lasaosa, Pamplona, Spain Note that the second condition is equivalent to 3ab 2 2 2 3 C 1 = a + b − c = 2ab cos C; cos C = ; sin = √ : 2 4 2 2 2 A B C Since it is well known that r = 4R sin 2 sin 2 sin 2 , the second condition in a triangle such that R = 4r also sin A sin B √1 gives 2 2 = 4 2 , hence A − B A + B A B C A B 1 ○ cos = cos + 2 sin sin = sin + 2 sin sin = √ = cos 45 ; 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ○ ○ A B C which implies to ∠A − ∠B = 90 . Conversely, if ∠A − ∠B = 90 , then using R = 4r so 1 = 16 sin 2 sin 2 sin 2 we find 1 A B C A B C 1 cos − sin 2 sin sin sin : √ = 2 = 2 + 2 2 = 2 + C 2 8 sin 2 sin C sin C √1 This quadratic equation in 2 has a double root and hence implies 2 = 2 2 , which we saw above was equivalent to the second equation. The conclusion follows. Also solved by Ioannis D.

Prove that ab + bc + ca + a + b + c 3 1 ≤ 1 + : (a + b)(b + c)(c + a) 8 abc Proposed by Florin Rotaru, Focşani, România Solution by Polyahedra, Polk State College, USA Let p = (a + b + c)~3, q = (ab + bc + ca)~3, and r = abc. Then pq ≥ r, so (a + b)(b + c)(c + a) = 9pq − r ≥ 8pq, and thus it suffices to prove pq(r + 1) ≥ (p + q)r. 2 Note that p ≥ q. If either p ≤ 1 or q ≥ 1, then (p−1)(q−1) ≥ 0 and pq(r+1)−(p+q)r = (p−1)(q−1)r+pq−r ≥ 3~2 0. It remains to consider p > 1 > q. Then r ≤ q < q, and therefore pq(r+1)−(p+q)r = (p−1)qr+p(q−r) > 0, completing the proof.

Let ABC be a triangle with ∠A ≠ ∠B and ∠C = 30 . On the internal angle bisector of ∠BCA consider ○ the points D and E such that ∠CAD = ∠CBE = 30 and on the perpendicular bisector of AB, on the ○ same side as C related to AB, consider the point F such that ∠AF B = 90 . Prove that DEF is an equilateral triangle. Proposed by Titu Andreescu, USA, and Marius Stănean, România Solution by Polyahedra, Polk State College, USA By the property of an angle bisector, CD intersects the circumcircle of △ABC again at P , the midpoint of ○ ○ the arc of AB not containing C. Hence, ∠P BA = ∠P AB = 15 , and thus ∠P BF = ∠P AF = 60 . Since FP ○ ○ is the perpendicular bisector of AB, ∠BF P = 45 = ∠BEP and ∠AF P = 45 = ∠ADP . Therefore, P BEF ○ ○ and P AF D are cyclic quadrilaterals. Consequently, ∠P EF = ∠P BF = 60 and ∠CDF = ∠P AF = 60 , completing the proof.

  • Remarks About the Square Equation. Functional Square Root of a Logarithm
    M A T H E M A T I C A L E C O N O M I C S No. 12(19) 2016 REMARKS ABOUT THE SQUARE EQUATION. FUNCTIONAL SQUARE ROOT OF A LOGARITHM Arkadiusz Maciuk, Antoni Smoluk Abstract: The study shows that the functional equation f (f (x)) = ln(1 + x) has a unique result in a semigroup of power series with the intercept equal to 0 and the function composition as an operation. This function is continuous, as per the work of Paulsen [2016]. This solution introduces into statistics the law of the one-and-a-half logarithm. Sometimes the natural growth processes do not yield to the law of the logarithm, and a double logarithm weakens the growth too much. The law of the one-and-a-half logarithm proposed in this study might be the solution. Keywords: functional square root, fractional iteration, power series, logarithm, semigroup. JEL Classification: C13, C65. DOI: 10.15611/me.2016.12.04. 1. Introduction If the natural logarithm of random variable has normal distribution, then one considers it a logarithmic law – with lognormal distribution. If the func- tion f being function composition to itself is a natural logarithm, that is f (f (x)) = ln(1 + x), then the function ( ) = (ln( )) applied to a random variable will give a new distribution law, which – similarly as the law of logarithm – is called the law of the one-and -a-half logarithm. A square root can be defined in any semigroup G. A semigroup is a non- empty set with one combined operation and a neutral element.

Neural Network Architectures and Activation Functions: A Gaussian Process Approach Sebastian Urban Technical University Munich 2017 ii Abstract The success of applying neural networks crucially depends on the network architecture being appropriate for the task. Determining the right architecture is a computationally intensive process, requiring many trials with different candidate architectures. We show that the neural activation function, if allowed to individually change for each neuron, can implicitly control many aspects of the network architecture, such as effective number of layers, effective number of neurons in a layer, skip connections and whether a neuron is additive or multiplicative. Motivated by this observation we propose stochastic, non-parametric activation functions that are fully learnable and individual to each neuron. Complexity and the risk of overfitting are controlled by placing a Gaussian process prior over these functions. The result is the Gaussian process neuron, a probabilistic unit that can be used as the basic building block for probabilistic graphical models that resemble the structure of neural networks.

  • Nonlinear Feedback Control on Herd Behaviour Prey-Predator Model Affected by Toxic Substance
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 Nonlinear Feedback Control On Herd Behaviour Prey-Predator Model Affected By Toxic Substance Vijayalakshmi. G.M , Shiva Reddy. K, Ranjith Kumar.G Abstract: We have explored a mathematical predator-prey harvested model with a functional square root response in which both the species are infected by some environmental toxicants. The hypothesis of Catch-per-unit-effort was used on the both harvested species. In the predator system, prey species takes various survival mechanism to avoid predators. Because of this, the interaction concept is proportional to the square root of the prey population, which accurately models the process where the prey shows powerful herd structure showing that the predator commonly connects with the prey along the herd's outer corridor. The complex behaviour of the system is examined. We have considered the possible existence of equilibrium points. Several numerical examples have been discussed in order to reinforce the outcomes of the theoretical analysis. Index Terms: Predator, prey, Herd behaviour, Toxicity, Catch per unit effort, Stability, Harvesting. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION The classical predator-prey model of interacting populations The functional response of Type II is hyperbolic and inversely has been investigated extensively in this paper.

  • (Rusin) HW11 – Comments
    M365C (Rusin) HW11 { comments 1. Let g(x) = log(f(x)). Then g is continuous and g(x + y) = g(x) + g(y) for any x and y, so this is essentially the same situation as the question on the last exam: g(x) = cx where c = g(1). Or you could recreate the spirit of that proof: let c = log(f(1)) and then prove f(x) = exp(cx) first for x 2 N, then for x 2 Z, then for x 2 Q, then (using continuity) for x 2 R. 2. I wanted you to use the fact that ab has been defined to mean exp(b log(a)), so we are computing the limit of exp(log(1 + x)=x). Since exp is continuous, this is the same as exp(limx!0 log(1 + x)=x). We may compute that inner limit using L'H^opital's Rule; it is 1. (You could also use the definition of the logarithm function to show that for R 1+x R 1+x R 1+x x ≥ 0, log(1 + x) = 1 (1=t) dt ≤ 1 1 dt = x and log(1 + x) = 1 (1=t) dt ≥ R 1+x 1 1=(1 + x) dt = x=(1 + x), so the inner limit is 1 by the squeeze theorem, at least as x ! 0+. Similar inequalities show the other one-sided limit is also 1. 3. Just as we defined the logarithm as a certain integral, let us define a function A : R ! R by ( R 1 [0;x] 1+t2 dt if x ≥ 0 A(x) = R 1 − [x;0] 1+t2 dt if x < 0 (a) Of course A(0) = 0 because the interval [0; 0] has a width of zero! The fact that A(−x) = −A(x) follows from the substitution u = −t.

  • 1. Super-Functions the Functional Equation F(Z+1)
    MATHEMATICS OF COMPUTATION Volume 79, Number 271, July 2010, Pages 1727–1756 S 0025-5718(10)02342-2 Article electronically published on February 12, 2010 PORTRAIT OF THE FOUR REGULAR SUPER-EXPONENTIALS TO BASE SQRT(2) DMITRII KOUZNETSOV AND HENRYK TRAPPMANN Abstract. We introduce the concept of regular super-functions at a fixed point. It is derived from the concept of regular iteration. A super-function F of h is a solution of F(z+1)=h(F(z)). We provide a condition for F being entire, we also give two uniqueness criteria for regular super-functions. In the particular case h(x)=bˆx we call F super-exponential. h has two real fixed points for b between 1 and eˆ(1/e). Exemplary we choose the base b=sqrt(2) and portray the four classes of real regular super-exponentials in the complex plane. There are two at fixed point 2 and two at fixed point 4. Each class is given by the translations along the x-axis of a suitable representative. Both super-exponentials at fixed point 4—one strictly increasing and one strictly decreasing—are entire. Both super-exponentials at fixed point 2— one strictly increasing and one strictly decreasing—are holomorphic on a right half-plane. All four super-exponentials are periodic along the imaginary axis. Only the strictly increasing super-exponential at 2 can satisfy F(0)=1 and can hence be called tetrational. We develop numerical algorithms for the precise evaluation of these func- tions and their inverses in the complex plane. We graph the two corresponding different half-iterates of h(z)=sqrt(2)ˆz.

Such non-parametric approaches Available online 11 June 2013 allow for much finer correction but are asymmetric, i.e. they require the choice of a source image that will be corrected to match a target image. Thus the result on the whole mosaic will be very dependant on the Keywords: order in which images are corrected. In this paper, we propose to use partial iterates to symmetrize non- Mosaic parametric correction in order to solve this problem. Partial iterates formalize what partially applying a Color correction Radiometry bijective function means and we explain how this can be done in both the continuous and discrete Fusion domain. This mechanism is applied to a simple non-parametric approach (histogram transfer of the lumi- Image nance) to show its potential.
