Examples where numerical analysis led to advances in pure mathematics or theoretical physics
I have a background in computational physics, but beyond the standard material and a handful of methods I needed in practice, I have not studied numerical analysis in much depth. This made me wonder ...

Interesting examples of finite group scheme actions and finite locally free affine groupoids
I am looking to build some intuition for a project that I am working on, and I would like to get my hands on interesting concrete examples of finite locally free affine groupoids. For the ...

Example of a certain union-closed family (ver. 4)
Consider a family $\mathcal{F}$ of $n$ finite sets with $\mathcal{F} \not = \{ \emptyset \}$, and universe $U(\mathcal{F})$ (the union of all sets in $\mathcal{F}$).
The family must be "element-...

Example of a certain union-closed family
Is it possible to find an example of a finite separating union-closed family $\mathcal{F}$ with size $n$, and size of the universe $|U(\mathcal{F})| = q$, with a biconnected Hasse diagram graph (...

Examples of good properties of modules over a zero-dimensional ring?
Let $A$ be a zero-dimensional ring. I am interested in examples showing how the topology of the ring (in this very simple case where the dimension is zero) may influence properties of modules. In ...

Paley-Wiener functions that concentrate on small interval
For $r> 0$ denote by $\mathcal{P}_r$ the space of entire functions $f$ that can be represented in the form
$$
f(z) = \int_0^r g(x)e^{izx}\, dx, \qquad g\in L^2([0, r]).
$$
Question. Do there exist ...

Why these functors do not necessarily correspond to commutative monoids?
$\newcommand\Set{\mathbf{Set}}\newcommand\Setf{\mathbf{Set}_\text f}\newcommand\op{^\text{op}}$Suppose that $M$ is a set with a commutative monoid structure on it.
Then, given a finite family $I\to M$ ...

About an integration trick
Consider an identity
$$ \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} \frac{\sin(2\pi \gamma(n+a))}{n+a} = \pi $$
for $0 < \gamma < 1$. Integrating from $a = 0$ to $a = 1$ we obtain Dirichlet integral
$$ \int_{-\...

A question on generalized eigenfunction of discrete bounded Schrodinger operators
I have a question on the generalized eigenfunctions of a discrete Schrodinger operator on $\mathbb{Z}$, with a bounded potential $V$.
Looking at chapter 2.4 in the Book by Damanik and Fillman, a ...

Is there a chordal graph whose toughness is exactly $\frac{3}{2}$ and which is non-Hamiltonian?
Kratsch once asked whether every $\frac{3}{2}$-tough chordal graph is Hamiltonian. This question was answered in the negative by Bauer et al., [1] who constructed a family of non-Hamiltonian chordal ...

Example(s) of presheaves on a category C failing to discriminate between objects of a category D into which C maps
I’ve been trying to refine my intuition of the Yoneda Lemma, and in the process of doing so, I’ve thought a lot about the following situation. Suppose $F:C \to D$ is a functor between locally small ...

$L^2$-functions orthogonal to their own Fourier transform
It is well-known that, besides the standard Gaussian $e^{-|x|^2/2}$, there are many interesting functions which are eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform, for example the Hermite functions.
Mainly ...

Is there a countably infinite pre-closure with no circuits and no co-circuits?
For any $X$ call $f:2^X\to 2^X$ a pre-closure on $X$ when $\small\forall S,Q\subseteq X[S\subseteq Q\implies S\subseteq f(S)\subseteq f(Q)]$ while the complement of $T\subseteq X$ is $T^{\complement}=...
