if you have a regression is it in general true that the inaccuracy trying to be minimized will, if a new data point is added, be minimized the most if the new point exactly follows the regression on the rest of the points

ohai, can i ask a math question here? not related to school or university. Just need a little knowledge

dusty flax
#

I want to "translate" this expression into mathematical (graduated long time ago and forgot everything):

It's like sum sequence / limit which contains itself. At infinity it should be 0.2, but idk how to write it right

sour sinew
#

finite sum of geometric series

#

multiplying it by 6 we gain a +1 and lose a +1/1296 meaning 6x = x + 1 - 1/6^4 meaning x = (1-1/6^4)/5

#

and you can see that indeed limits to 1/5

Hi there people, looking for someone who's good at combining and calculating stuff like this:

quantity: 18.000 - Boar man, 85% fire damage | 95% ice damage
quantity: 16.000 - Liodile, 110% fire damage | 105% ice damage
quantity: 13.000 - Carnivostrich, 110% fire damage | 110% ice damage

In this game, I can deal either ICE or FIRE damage.

I'm wondering which damage to use for maximum damage over time. For example the Boar Man takes 15% reduced fire damage, and 5% reduced ice damage.
Boar Man, Liodile and Carnivostrich all take damage at the same time by AOE dmg, (area of effect).

Have fun, I will follow this thread to see what people come up with. I'm too bad to calculate the actual values with quantity vs % dmg etc 😄

Was reading this paper (http://dfns.dyalog.com/n_ratrep.htm) cause it was linked in a stack exchange article, and it said Euler claimed:
Where:

S(x) = ... + x∧(3) + x∧(2) + x∧(1) + x∧(0) + x∧(-1) + x∧(-2) + x∧(-3) + ...

Then:

S(x) = 0

I can't find anything about this online, does anyone have a link to any resource about this? Or is this not real?

I've been really interested in all of the number classifications and want to make a program using them. Does anyone know a list of them all? I know there are probably thousands of them but if anyone has a general list of some of them it would be really helpful. And by number classifications, I mean motzkin numbers, bell numbers, tribonacci numbers. Like all of those obscure number classifications.

pll is the last step of solving a rubik cube, where last layer must be solved and all peices have same orientation
it has 21 cases
but if i do math i get 4!^2/2/4=72
(4!^2 for 4! for the corners and 4! for the edges divide 2 for odd number of edge or corner swap to exlude impossible and finally divide 4 so color doesnt matter)
i know it is because some are mirrors of each other or they are different ways of being the same
how can this be expressed as formula to get 21 instead (using logic)

Hi maths ppl

ancient helm
#

Hey

marsh imp
#

Anyone know how I can show that n!/(n^n) is decreasing aka a_(n+1) < a_n ?

ancient helm
#

Inductive proof perhaps

marsh imp
#

Is there any easier method?

solar marlin
#

Inductive proof would be easiest ngl

marsh imp
#

Can I do this:

solar marlin
#

do u need to show that its decreasing as n increases?

marsh imp
#

2/n^2 going to zero automatically implies that as n gets larger 2/n^2 gets smaller (decreases), and since n!/n^n is smaller, it also goes to zero and n goes to infinity, therefore a_n+1 < a_n??

ancient helm
#

So (n+1)!/((n+1)^(n+1)) < (n+1)! / ((n+1) • n^n) = n! / (n^n

#

That’s what I would do

#

Basically show that (n+1)!/((n+1)^(n+1)) < n!/n^n

#

In latex form it would be:

#

$\frac{(n+1)!}{(n+1)^{n+1}} < \frac{(n+1)!}{(n+1)•n^n = \frac{n!}{n^n}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

r•eⁱˣ = r•cos(x) + ri•sin(x)

$\frac{(n+1)!}{(n+1)^{n+1}} < \frac{(n+1)!}{(n+1)•n^n = \frac{n!}{n^n}$

#

Doing an easy trig integral by substitution for the challenge

dusty swallow
#

it literally shows what u asked for

marsh imp
#

uh how so?

#

I have a_n = n!/n

#

I want to show it's decreasing for n >= 1

ancient helm
#

Which is the same as it decrasing

marsh imp
#

Do u mind explaining how its being showed that a(n+1) < a(n)

ancient helm
#

Read dappy’s proof

marsh imp
#

I have

#

but am not sure what's being done...

#

Also what is this line:
?

dusty swallow
#

its my cursor

marsh imp
#

oh lol

solar marlin
#

sorry if my notation is bad

#

Again I'm not some maths god

marsh imp
dusty swallow
solar marlin
#

Oh nvm I read wrong

marsh imp
ancient helm
sour sinew
#

and it's also true from definition of sequence

ancient helm
#

n! = n•(n-1)•(n-2)…•3•2•1

ancient helm
sour sinew
#

definition of true

marsh imp
#

So then dappy has shown that if a_n = n!/(n^n), then a_ (n+1) < a_n for all natrual numbers or only n >= 1?

sour sinew
ancient helm
sour sinew
#

no induction necessary

ancient helm
#

As it works regardless of what we put for n

#

Now prove for real numbers

marsh imp
sour sinew
#

only n >= 1

#

normally assigned the value 1

marsh imp
#

In algebra are we allowed to just take the facotrial of both sides of an equation?

sour sinew
#

yeah but why would you do that

marsh imp
#

well i'm tryna show n!/(n^n) decreases by induction

sour sinew
#

ok but just

#

why

marsh imp
#

idk

#

i don't want to

#

I can just use this right:

sour sinew
#

yes

marsh imp
#

oh

#

wow

#

Yes

solar marlin
#

I realised

ancient helm
#

Who doesn’t love Euler

sour sinew
#

realized cos(pi) = -1 no way

ancient helm
sour sinew
#

impossible

ancient helm
#

I thought it was 12

solar marlin
#

Sqrt(e^iπ)=i

So rewrite e^(iπ) but every time i appears rewrite it as sqrt(e^iπ)

#

How do you write that

sour sinew
#

cos(pi) = -1/12

solar marlin
sour sinew
#

every time i appears you replace it with e^(iπ/2)

#

?

#

but why

ancient helm
#

So e^(e^(e^…ipi/2)ipi/2… ?

#

That might be wrong

solar marlin
#

yea that

marsh imp
#

ty for the help guys!

solar marlin
#

Why iπ/2

#

just iπ

sour sinew
#

clearly remains i as you go off to infinity

THANK YOU

search the internet, folks

solar marlin
#

Lol

marsh imp
#

n!/(n^n) > 0 for n >=1 right?

sour sinew
#

well is n! > 0 and n^n > 0

#

yes

marsh imp
#

ye ty

dusty swallow
#

This is quite simple

#

Let’s say we compute the first 5 terms of the infinite series

#

Then the error to the real value of the infinite series is determined by all of the series members n>5

#

Notice that our series is a part of n! / n^n multiplied by sin something

#

To achieve the greatest error, sin would have to be constantly minus 1 or 1

#

More formally we can create the upper bound n!/n^n for the absolut error

#

But we know series n! / n^n = e (no we don’t know this tf am I smoking, n is not x u moron)

#

What

#

Omfg

#

I read the whole problem wrong lmao

sour sinew
#

n!/n^n = e

marsh imp
#

Anyone know how I can solve for k here?

sour sinew
#

is that for sum of an alternating seried

marsh imp
#

ye

sour sinew
#

also, the way to solve for it is with a calculator

#

though you could also just see this is true for k = 100 or something

lethal wigeon
#

hmm

@ashen agate @dusty swallow

#

Let there be a polynomial $p_c(z)$ of degree greater than $1$.\
Then, for the sequence of polynomials defined by $z_0(c)=0$, and $z_{n+1}(c)=p_c(z_n(c))$, there exists a polynomial $h_{n,k}(c)$ such that $z_{nk}(c)=h_{n,k}(c)\cdot p_c(z_n(c))+z_n(c)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

I think this is true, I am not 100% confident in this

#

The proof is using two inductions one after another

#

Same I used for the specific case with z²+c

#

I'll be trying to do that in the soon time

#

Formally

open whale
#

$p_c(z)=\sum_{n=0}^da_n(c)z^n$ where $a_n(c)$ is a polynomial of $c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

then

#

first off, $z_0(c)=0$ and $z_1(c)=a_0(c)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so $a_0(c)$ should be a polynomial of degree $1$ in terms of $c$, at least

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

next up, $z_2=p_c(a_0(c))$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

dusty swallow
open whale
dusty swallow
#

I’m not sure yet

#

Let say

#

$p(z)=z^2$

vivid gulchBOT
dusty swallow
#

This means $z_n(x)=x^{(2^n)}$

vivid gulchBOT
dusty swallow
#

Ur statement would say there exists a polynomial $h_{n,k}$ such that

vivid gulchBOT
dusty swallow
#

$x^{2^{kn}} = h_{n,k} \cdot x^{2^{n+1}} + x^{2^n}$

vivid gulchBOT
dusty swallow
#

@open whale

open whale
dusty swallow
#

Like

open whale
#

a₀ must be nonezero

#

To be precise, it must be a polynomial of c with degree 1 or more

dusty swallow
#

Tf is a_0

#

Oh that one

open whale
#

Back to the proof

#

So we have that

#

$z_2(c)=p_c(z_1(c))=\sum_{n=0}^da_n(c)(z_1(c))^n=a_0(c)+a_1(c)z_1(c)+\sum_{n=2}^da_n(c)(z_1(c))^n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

What do I do with that thing lmao

#

Lets see what did I do with the specific proof

#

Lets show to with z₁

#

$z_1(c)=p_c(0)=a_0$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

Which satisfies the equation

#

First off I want to write

vague dagger
#

Yoav lol

dusty swallow
ancient helm
#

And now I will prove:

halcyon heart
#

Is it mathematical incorrect to have two equal signs on the same line? Some of my teachers say it is, but I can't find any source anywhere except for a few quora answers

dusty swallow
#

Do u mean something like 3*2+3=6+3=9?

halcyon heart
#

Yes

dusty swallow
#

It’s not incorrect

#

No idea what ur teacher is smoking

halcyon heart
#

but apparently your supposed to use => instead for the last =

#

like, r=20/4=>5

dusty swallow
#

Well if u have something like x^2 =3x u can’t directly say =x=3 that is obv false

#

But the equation from before “implies” the second one

#

That’s what the arrows mean

dusty swallow
#

Actually the way it’s written right there is prob on a formal level even wrong

#

Better to use an equal sign in that case

halcyon heart
#

huh ok

#

Thanks

open whale
#

uhh

#

so we have the base case

#

now we want the induction

#

lets assume

#

$z_{n+k}(c)=h\cdot p_c(z_n(c))+z_k(c)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

then

#

you know what

#

i'm removing the Cs

#

it's going to make it a little too messy now and so more prone to errors

#

$z_{n+k}=h\cdot p(z_n)+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

this is equally clear

#

then

#

$z_{n+k+1}=p(h\cdot p(z_n)+z_k)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so uhh

#

$=\sum_{m=0}^da_m(h\cdot p(z_n)+z_k)^m$

#

now, what i want to do, is somehow extract z(k+1) from this

#

which is p(z(k))

#

wait this is wrong

#

this is better

#

so we can break it down to the binomial

#

but i don't want to bother

#

uhh

#

actually i will, why not

#

oh also another issue

#

i used n as an index too

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now we can do binomial

#

i suppose over j now?

#

$=\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=0}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now we want to extract the z(k+1) polynomial

#

so if j=0 we get z^m

#

that's not what we want

#

oh

#

it is

#

because m moves between 0 and d

#

so that'd be our polynomial

#

$=\sum_{m=0}^d\qty(a_mz_k^m+a_m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j})$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=\sum_{m=0}^da_mz_k^m+\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=p(z_k)+\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=p(z_k)+\sum_{m=0}^d\qty(a_m(hp(z_n))^m+a_m\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j})$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=p(z_k)+\sum_{m=0}^da_m(hp(z_n))^m+\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=p(z_k)+p(hp(z_n))+\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

well yeah symmetry makes sense

#

anyways

#

that's not what i wanted to show

dusty swallow
#

Bro is having a stroke and thought I wouldn’t notice

open whale
#

i don't need that part

#

$=p(z_k)+z_n\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^{j-1}z_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

no nvm not what i wanted

#

i did want to extract the polynomial out of h

open whale
#

sorry

#

not underestimated

#

uhh

#

what's the word

#

miscalculated

#

it is possible i have phrased the original thing wrong

#

and it's supposed to be

#

$z_{n+k}=p(hz_n)+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and it's possible i phrased the entire thing wrong

#

yeah, definitely

#

$=p(z_k)+\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so this is definitely correct

#

$=z_{k+1}+\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^jz_k^{m-j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now the rest needs to be written in some form of zn

#

i mean, i can definitely factor the zn out of this

#

but this isn't what i want

#

oh wait i'm stupid

#

it's right there

#

$=z_{k+1}+p(z_n)\sum_{m=0}^da_m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(hp(z_n))^{j-1}z_k^{m-j}$

#

here we go

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

@dusty swallow done

#

$=z_{k+1}+hz_{n+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

dusty swallow
#

Ye imma need a latex file to follow this shit

#

All over the place

open whale
#

ye let me copy paste the sequence in order

#

so we have $z_0=0$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and $z_{0+1}=0p(z_0)+z_1$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and alternatively

#

actually this is not general enough

#

the proof for induction assumes more

#

here we go

#

proof

#

$z_0=0$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_{n+0}=1\cdot z_n+z_0$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

this is the base for the induction

#

is it valid?

#

@dusty swallow

#

yeah i don't think i need a second check for that, it's correct

#

and for extra measure we also can prove

#

you know what

#

nvm

#

i'll work on it a little more

#

i want to prove first that for every n,k

#

there exists a polynomial h so that

#

$z_{n+k}=h\cdot p(z_n)+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now, what seems odd is this doesn't hold precisely for k=0

#

nor for k=1

#

uhh

#

$z_{n+0}=0p(z_0)+z_n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

but i want it to be

#

$z_{n+0}=hp(z_n)+z_0$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

which it is clearly not

#

$z_{n+1}=hp(z_n)+z_1$

#

that's not right

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

it's just

#

$z_{n+1}=p(z_n)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

uhh

#

maybe it's

#

$z_{n+k+1}=hp(z_n)+z_{k+1}$?

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

which basically says

#

$z_{n+k+1}=hz_{n+1}+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so lets see that

#

well uhh

#

it works with 0 0

#

$z_{0+0+1}=0\cdot z_1+z_1$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now with n=1,

#

$z_{1+0+1}=hz_2+z_1$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

is that true?

#

doubt it

#

originally i phrased it as uhh

#

$z_{n+k}=hz_n^2+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

which in this case is uhh

#

$z_{n+k}=h(p(z_n)-c)+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

this willl take some while

z1=c if p(z)=z²+c

#

We assume a0 in our polynomial is of degree 1 in terms of c

sour sinew
#

maybe im misunderstanding

#

i guess it's p(c,z) then the sequence is 0, p(0,c), p(p(0,c),c)...

#

and h is supposed to work for all values of c

#

c is normally a constant so 😅

#

confused

open whale
#

Well, we play on that iterativeness

#

The polynomial we talk on is a polynomial of z

#

With coefficients which are polynomials of c

#

Such that the degree of a0 is at least 1 in terms of c

It's behind a paywall, i can copy paste it somewhere if you need

The point they are making is valid but it’s not racism in math, it’s racism in our culture regarding math

placid bough
#

Yeah

idle mist
#

Is it weird😂

#

Like would you rather do math yourself or discuss and collaborate with others

ancient helm
#

Hmm I haven’t tried collaborative math before

i dont think this was the first time this was ever posed

#

it's weird that they even had to name it after anyone

#

humans have been looking for shorter road journeys forever

#

surely

#

wait, the shortest cycle?

solar quarry
#

Shortest cycle might have been relatively uncommon

sour sinew
#

maybe'

candid cedar
sour sinew
#

i need to look into that

solar quarry
#

Imho It should be natural number in algebra as well

sour sinew
#

it appears that peano arithmetic explicitly makes 0 natural

solar quarry
#

(Maybe was a hot take)

sour sinew
#

whaaaaaaaa

candid cedar
#

In set theory, 0 is an ordinal but it is not infinite so it should be a natural number

candid cedar
sour sinew
#

omega =/= N?

candid cedar
#

Like 0 in omega is the empty set, but in N is the set of all rational numbers (in the version that is not a subset of R) less than 0

solar quarry
candid cedar
#

Assuming the real numbers are constructed through the dedekind cuts

solar quarry
#

It is tricky to extend a set satisfying good properties, you better make new one.

#

You can replace the corresponding elements (e.g. 1 and 1.0) later. (I dislike this step btw, I prefer them to be individual)

sour sinew
#

oh it's just {}

#

duh

candid cedar
#

You never actually use that the real numbers were constructed this way. It is just that this construction allows us to create a notion of R,+,*,< that satisfies certain axioms. Then we just use those axioms to prove whatever about R

sour sinew
#

if this construction of R does not help prove anything about R why was it done

#

just to see if it could be done? if R was possible

candid cedar
#

It proves R exists

#

From ZF

sour sinew
#

yayyy R exists hooray

candid cedar
#

So this means that if you are doing things with R and calculus and you create a contradiction, ZF is inconsistent and it is the set theorists problem now

solar quarry
#

It means that R makes sense, there have been many mathematical constructions which turns out to be not working

#

E.g. you should not do differentiation/integration naively

@sour sinew want to help me with my search for a general polynomial recursive formula?

#

i want to describe the iterative sequence of polynomials in a meaningful manner

#

as in

#

$z_{n+k}=z_n+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

in concept, of course

#

something along these lines, with stuff done to zn and zk

#

right now i have

#

for a sequence $z_{n+1}=p(z_n)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

sour sinew
#

is z the polynomial

open whale
#

where $p(z)=a\cdot z^m+c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and $z_0=0$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

what i have is

sour sinew
#

c, ac^m + c, a(ac^m+c)^m + c

open whale
#

$z_{n+k}=ha\cdot z_n^m+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and it behaves as a polynomial with respect to c

open whale
sour sinew
#

is this a generalization of the mandelbrot recurrence

open whale
#

i have proven originally that

#

for the mandelbrot recurrence

#

we get

#

$z_{n+k}=h\cdot z_n^2+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

wait let me re-prove it real quick

#

we have

#

wait

#

uhh

#

let me remember how it was phrased precisely

sour sinew
#

so it's really function from ordered pairs to ordered pairs
$a_{n-1} = (z,c) \implies a_n = (p(z,c),c)$

open whale
#

$z_{n+1}=h\cdot z_n^2+z_1$

vivid gulchBOT
#

cute rizzly bear (won't eat you)

#

yoavmal

open whale
#

ah so not k+1

open whale
#

what i prefer formalising it as is

#

$z_n$ is some algebraic expression in terms of complex numbers and $c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and $p(z)$ is a polynomial of $z$, with coefficients which are polynomials of $c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

i.e.

#

$p_c(z)=\sum_{n=0}^da_n(c)z^n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

where $a_n=\sum_{k=0}^{d_n}u_{n,k}c^k$

#

where $u_{n,k}\in\bC$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

#

yoavmal

sour sinew
#

in other words $z_n^2 | z_{n+k} - z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

cute rizzly bear (won't eat you)

open whale
#

do you mean

#

ye

#

i think it does do that

sour sinew
#

well interesting

open whale
#

but i have proven it oddly

#

i think

#

i want to reprove it

#

i also think i misphrased it

#

$z_{n+k}=h\cdot z_n^2+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

i think?

sour sinew
#

ah

open whale
#

wait let me see

#

$z_{n+0}=h\cdot z_n^2+z_0$?

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

is this possible?

#

no, it t is not

#

but

#

$z_{n+1}=h\cdot z_n^2+z_1$

#

that does work

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so we have a base for thehet induction

#

now lets try prove it

#

assume it works for some k

#

then we want to show it works for k+1

#

$z_{n+k}=h\cdot z_n^2+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_{n+k+1}=(h\cdot z_n^2+z_k)^2+c=h^2z_n^4+2hz_n^2z_k+z_k^2+c$

#

oh nvm

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now this is correct

#

$=z_n^2(h^2z_n^2+2hz_k)+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=hz_n^2+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

ok so

#

yeah this is the induction

#

$z_{n+k}=hz_n^2+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so yes

#

$z_n^2\big|\qty(z_{n+k}-z_k)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now

#

we can do further induction to obtain

#

$z_{kn}=hz_n^2+z_n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

which means that

#

$z_n^2\big|\qty(z_{kn}-z_n)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

but this is more interesting because we can do even better

#

$z_{kn}=z_n\cdot(hz_n+1)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

which means that the multiplicities of the roots of $z_n$ are the same in $z_{kn}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so the most general thing i have right now is

#

given $p(z)=a\cdot z^m+c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_{n+k}=ahz_n^m+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

which i believe can be proven in a similar manner

#

$z_{n+1}=az_n^m+c=ahz_n^m+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and then

#

assume

#

$z_{n+k}=ahz_n^m+z_k$

#

then we get

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_{n+k+1}=a\qty(ahz_n^m+z_k)^m+c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=a\sum_{j=0}^m\binom{m}{j}(ahz_n^m)^jz_k^{m-j}+c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=a\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(ahz_n^m)^jz_k^{m-j}+az_k^m+c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=a\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(ahz_n^m)^jz_k^{m-j}+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=a^2hz_n^m\sum_{j=1}^m\binom{m}{j}(ahz_n^m)^{j-1}z_k^{m-j}+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=a^2z_n^mhg+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=ha^2z_n^m+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

oh so we have even better than previously

#

i mean, we can insert the a into the h and nothing changes

#

but i now wonder if we can extract more information from this

#

$z_{n+2}=a(haz_n^m+c)^m+c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

well just

#

$z_{n+k}=ahz_n^m+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_{n+k+1}=a^2hz_n^m+z_{k+1}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so next time it will be ^3

#

maybe?

#

$z_{n+k+2}=a(a^2hz_n^m+z_{k+1})^m+c$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

which will entail at least one factoring of a^2 in the final result

#

yes

#

$z_{n+k+j}=a^jhz_n^m+z_{k+j}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so why can't we just set k to 0

#

ok that is very neat

#

$z_{n+k}=a^khz_n^m+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

more information is nice

#

@sour sinew

#

if you followed the shenanigans

#

now can we prove anything with induction here

#

on zkn

#

$z_{2n}=a^nhz_n^m+z_n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so we have the base case

#

now we want to do something with zkn and show it for z(k+1)n

#

well we can always break it down to

#

$z_{(k+1)n}=a^{nk}hz_n^m+z_{kn}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

oh that might work

#

ah, no

#

so back to the standard track

#

$z_{kn}=a^nhz_n^m+z_n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

lets check what happens with k+1

#

$z_{(k+1)n}=z_{kn+n}=a^nhz_{nk}^m+z_n$

#

so we have that

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

uhh

#

no, i don't want that

#

i want it the other way around

#

$z_{(k+1)n}=a^{nk}hz_{n}^m+z_{nk}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now, with our base induction, we assumed that znk can be written as something with some g

#

$=a^{nk}hz_n^m+a^ngz_n^m+z_n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now we can factor the a^nzn^m out

#

$=a^nz_n^m\qty(a^{n(k-1)}h+g)+z_n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$=ha^nz_n^m+z_n$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

right

#

so, that's what we can obtain

#

$z_{kn}=ha^nz_n^m+z_n$ is the most informative property we can achieve on this polynomial

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now, we have not assumed a thing about the connection of a to c

#

it could be some polynomial of c

#

but, we do not care

#

since we can now factor the zn out

#

and get

#

$z_{kn}=z_n\qty(ha^nz_n^{m-1}+1)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

so this still holds

#

even if a is a polynomial of degree 1 or more of c

#

infact

#

we did not need to assume the +c

#

we only needed some coefficient

#

since the recursive relation still holds

#

in theory c could be some polynomial of another hidden variable

#

so really we can denote it a0

#

and a1 being the first coefficient

#

so what we obtain is

#

if we explicitly phrase the c in the equation

#

$z_{kn}=z_n(c)\qty(ha_1(c)^nz_n(c)^{m-1}+1)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

i wonder

#

can we do this for noninteger m

#

i assume the binomial expansion becomes inconvergent

sour sinew
open whale
#

but

#

maybe it could phrase some riemann surface

#

which would be increasing in dimension every step

sour sinew
#

maybe each z can be multivalued

#

except if m is irrational

#

then idk

open whale
sour sinew
#

infinite values

open whale
#

infact

#

it forms a "multiplicative" group, really additive

#

if m is irrational it just forms a group isomorphic to the integers

sour sinew
#

makes sense

open whale
#

since really

sour sinew
#

otherwise it's z/qz

open whale
#

well uhh

#

ye

#

the thing is

#

what happens for

#

$\qty(z^m)^m$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

if m is irrational

#

what do we get

#

we get all z^(nm) for integer n

#

^m

#

so for each of those we get

#

$z^{knm^2}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

heh, so it is multiplicative

#

so

#

it just creates another group isomorphic to the integers

#

but what about

#

mapping the whole thing

#

eh i'm tired

sour sinew
open whale
# vivid gulch **yoavmal**

anyways @sour sinew what i wanted to show is something like this for a general p(z), not just for z^m+a0 ones

sour sinew
#

ah

open whale
#

notation?

sour sinew
#

yeah

open whale
#

ah

#

well if we've got this proven

#

the notation is mostly irrelevant

#

you can phrase it in yours too

#

now that we have it

sour sinew
#

true

open whale
#

so

#

how do we phrase the thing we have

sour sinew
open whale
#

in terms of our polynomial?

open whale
#

i thought it would be like

#

$z_{n+k}=hp(z_{n})+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

but it's not precisely correct

#

for instance, with what we have right now it's actually

#

well

#

for

#

z^2+c

#

we get

#

$z_{n+k}=h\cdot(p(z_n)-c)+z_k$

sour sinew
#

is that multiplication by h or substitution in h

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

sour sinew
#

hm

open whale
#

and if we absorb the a^n to the polynomial

#

for the more recent general form

#

we get

#

(i think)

#

$z_{n+k}=h\cdot(p(z_n)-a_0)+z_k$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and this is with 1 term besides a0, a2z^m

#

lets see how it behaves if we set a1 diffeerent from 0?

#

like

#

a2z^m+a1z^k+a0

#

for k != m

#

say

#

k<m

#

actually

#

simplest starting point

#

lets say

#

z^2+z+c

#

lets see how it behaves

#

z0=0

#

z1=c

#

z2=c^2+2c

#

,w expand (c^2+2c)^2+(c^2+2c)+c

sour sinew
#

wolfram is very helpful

open whale
#

right

#

so first property we can tell

#

the coefficients are not constant

sour sinew
#

what is a0

open whale
#

in mandelbrot we can actually get a convergent sequence of coefficients

open whale
#

in our case it's c

open whale
#

the first n coefficients are the same for the rest of the iterations

sour sinew
#

convergent from the leading coefficient down

#

i assume

open whale
#

no idea

#

but like

sour sinew
#

or is it from the constant coefficient up

open whale
#

if we look at z^2+c

#

we get

#

0

#

c

#

c^2+c

#

c^4+2c^3+c^2+c

#

,w expand (c^4+2c^3+c^2+c)^2+c

open whale
#

so the first 3 terms are still 2,1,1

#

and the fourth term, is 5

#

and will be 5 for the rest

#

if we were to do another iteration

sour sinew
#

some power series of z s.t. z^2 + c = z

open whale
#

the 5th term would reach its value and remain that value

#

forever

open whale
#

only the first n coefficients are set

#

whereas we have 2^n coefficients

#

which means there is a non-negligent value in each term not deducted by those terms

#

so if you try to calculate the series with the coefficients it converges to

#

it would mostly converge to something else

#

or diverge

#

etc

#

also the coefficients converge to the catalan numbers, which is cool

#

anyways

#

what else do we get

open whale
#

for the nth iteration

#

+nc

sour sinew
#

,w power series of (1-sqrt(1-4c))/2

sour sinew
#

ye

#

that

open whale
#

ye but it doesn't work precisely

#

anyways

#

we're looking at z^2+z+c now

#

z0=0
z1=c
z2=c^2+2c
z3=c^4+4c^3+5c^2+3c

#

,w expand (c^4+4c^3+5c^2+3c)^2+(c^4+4c^3+5c^2+3c)+c

open whale
#

z0=0
z1=c
z2=c2+2c
z3=c4+4c3+5c2+3c
z4=c8+8c7+26c6+46c5+50c4+34c3+14c2+4c

#

is it just me or are the coefficients of the second term the catalan numbers now

sour sinew
#

it is pretty weird if the catalan numbers start at 4 and drop to 1 7 terms later

open whale
#

,w expand (14c^2+4c)^2+(14c^2+4c)+c

open whale
#

,w catalan numbers

open whale
#

ah, nope

#

no it missed some either way

#

,w expand (30c^2+5c)^2+(30c^2+5c)+c

open whale
#

nope, different sequence

sour sinew
#

,w expand (666c)^2 + (666c) + c

sour sinew
#

perfection

open whale
#

why

sour sinew
#

idk

open whale
#

lol

#

so can we get anything out of this

#

lets check if we can do some neat algebra to divide multiplicatives

#

$z_4/z_2=p^2(z_2)/z_2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$\frac{p(z_2)^2+p(z_2)+c}{z_2}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$\frac{(z_2^2+z_2+c)^2+z_2^2+z_2+c+c}{z_2}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

uhh wait

#

why am i doing it like this

#

oh yeah i can cancel some of the terms already

#

$\frac{(z_2^2+z_2+c)^2+2c}{z_2}+1+z_2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$\frac{(z_2^4+z_2^2+c^2)+(2z_2^2z_2+2z_2^2c+2z_2c)+2c}{z_2}+1+z_2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$\frac{c^2+2c}{z_2}+(2z_2^2)+z_2^3+z_2+2z_2c+2c+1+z_2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$\frac{z_2}{z_2}+z_2^3+2z_2^2+2z_2c+2c+1+2z_2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$1+z_2^3+2z_2^2+2z_2c+2c+1+2z_2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_2^3+2z_2^2+2z_2c+2c+2+2z_2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_2^3+2z_2^2+2z_2(c+1)+2c+2$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$z_2^3+2z_2^2+2z_2(c+1)+2(c+1)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

well

#

first off

#

z4 definitely is a multiple of z2

#

$z_2^3+2z_2^2+2(z_2+1)(c+1)$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

we see that this has a nonzero coefficient

#

that is not a polynomial of z2 nor c

#

and moreso

#

we have a free coefficient from z2 as well

#

meaning that if z2=0

#

for a particular c

#

then this whole thing is not 0

#

can we replicate this result with z6?

#

$z_6/z_2=\frac{p^4(z_2)}{z_2}$

#

oo i have an idea

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now

#

$=\frac{p^2(z_4)}{z_2}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

and we know z2|z4

#

which means

#

we can write z4 as hz2

#

$=\frac{p^2(hz_2)}{z_2}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

now we can substitute further

#

$\frac{((hz_2)^2+hz_2+c)^2+(hz_2)^2+hz_2+c+c}{z_2}$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

$\frac{((hz_2)^2+hz_2+c)^2+(hz_2)^2+2c}{z_2}+h$

vivid gulchBOT
#

yoavmal

open whale
#

ooo this is perfect

#

@sour sinew i believe that this form is still correct

#

like, i can show this is indeed divisible

#

but the proof here is actually inductive

#

and general for all multiples of 2

#

we can probably show this is correct for all znk for all n,k

#

then we can maybe generalise for a2z^2+a1z+a0

#

and then maybe to a2z^m+a1z+a0

#

and then maybe to a2z^m+a1z^k+a0

#

and then maybe, maybe, to some general polynomial p(z)

#

given our conditions are sufficient

normal arrow
#

epic

open whale
#

also @dusty swallow

#

while my statement from earlier was incorrect

#

it was deduced from something that is correct

#

that being

open whale
#

it's just that m can be 1 in theory

#

but the lemma can be stated as

#

if zn has a factor r with multiplicity m

#

then zkn has the same factor r with the same multiplicity m

#

which works for all a0

#

even if they're independent of c

open whale
#

sooo

#
