    I was listening to a finite subcover band recently. They'd done every song I could think of, until I started looking for songs that were only digital downloads. It turned out that they'd only necessary done a song if it came out on a compact disc...

    I enjoy this way of learning math, because it is varied rather than strictly progressive -- and I never have to take an exam!
    In other words, over time your videos are something like an open cover for the open set of things I want to learn.
    That is perfect for my randomly wandering mind! My wishes are scattered and so is the cover. THANK YOU
    (But the property of being compact seems strange to me.)

    Utilizing this concept, I demonstrated that it is possible to prove the existence of a boundary of a ball by means of the information that it is coverable in all of its parts. However, it turns out that the axiom of the choice is used and it may be not been considered as valid as it would be without it.

    Hey Peyam, as I learn more about maths, ln(x) and e^x functions became more impressive to me. Its pretty thrilling that those functions are opposite of each other. Can you prove those functions are opposite of each other, maybe using calculus or infinite sums (though that one seems impossible)?

    • @epalegmail
      @epalegmail Před 2 lety

      ln(x) is per definition the inverse function of e^x. The inverse function of an inverse function is the function itself, thats why e^x is the inverse of ln(x). There is nothing to prove, it's a definition thing

    You talked about finite sub covers, I am wondering from data science perspective that is there a criteria to select sub cover. What I mean is in order to maximize the set area and reduce the number of sub-covers is there a formula which can determine the number of sub covers in the family of beautiful U ? (In the case when we do not know the subsets and want to efficiently make subsets). Thank you for the videos they always get me thinking. #drpeyam#lovemaths

    So in order to show that something ISN'T compact, all you have to do is find a cleaver patern of open covers that requires an infinite amount of them to cover the original set? If this is true, I'd assume it's easier to show a set isn't compact than to show it is compact.
    (Ignoring the Heine-Borel theorem since that makes describing/identifying compact sets extremely easy)

    Suppose E is the unit circle (without the disk) and U is {open disk of radius 1 centered at angle 2πφn on the unit circle} where n ranges over all integers. The union of U is the punctured open disk of radius 2. However, the union of any finite subset of U (of which there are some that cover E) is smaller than the punctured open disk.

    @maxpercer7119 Před 2 lety

    Comparing the notation here to the other compactness video, there seems to be a slight inconsistency in set notation.
    Specifically you removed the outer braces when taking the big union (or big intersection) of a family (of sets),
    but not when taking the union of a family of sets defined via 'set builder notation'.
    For example you would write U_i∈I K_i instead of U_i∈I { K_i} , where i is in some index set I.
    However in this video, in set builder notation you would preserved the outer braces, e.g. U { K_i : i∈I }.
    So it appears that U_i∈I K_i = U { K_i : i∈I } , and that seems slightly inconsistent as far as use of braces.
    Big Union is being used differently.

    After I watched this video, I went searching around the web trying to improve my understanding of what compactness really means.
    I found the following comment that gave an example of how the attribute of compactness could be used, at
    math.stackexchange.com/questions/2575862/understanding-compactness-and-how-it-relates-to-finiteness
    "Compactness and finiteness are related because, for instance, every function from a finite set into the reals has a maximum and a minimum and every continuous function from a compact space into the reals also has a maximum and a minimum."
    I thought of the following example which is consistent with that remark:
    On the non-compact interval (0,1] if we take the continuous function 1/x, the function has a minimum at f(1)=1, but no maximum.
    But the same 1/x function could not be used on [0,1], which is compact, because the function is not continuous on that closed interval.
    (I hope the above is correct)

    • @drpeyam
      @drpeyam  Před 3 lety

      So the thing is that 1/x isn’t defined at 0, so I would change your example to x^2 on [0,1) (no max) and [0,1] (max)

    1. Closed subsets of compact need be compact
    2. Compact subsets of hausdorff need be closed
    3. Subset of R is compact IFF it is closed and bounded in the metric.
    4. In metric space compact and sequenctial compact are the same? This one I’m shaky on. The result that is.
    5. In a metric space, subset of separable
    Is still separable. Ok now steering away from compactness lol

      @dr peyam. Perhaps I should word my statement better. This definition seems kind of useless in practice because it’s hard to check every arbitrary open cover and check that it contains a finite subcover. Because in some sense there’s too many open covers to check. How do you actually use this definition to prove any non trivial sets are compact?
