we have the question that 'if F is a field with char 0, prove
that prime subfield of F is isomorphic to the field of Q'. I
already figure out the answer. BUT from the question I have other
question have risen in my brain. 1. what are the official
definition of the kernel of a map and the characteristics of a
field? 2. what is the link between the kernel and the char? 3. are
they equivalent in some...
1. Consider the group Zp for a prime p with multiplication
multiplication mod p). Show that (p − 1)2 = 1 (mod p)
2. Is the above true for any number (not necessarily prime)?
3. Show that the equation a 2 − 1 = 0, has only two solutions
mod p.
4. Consider (p − 1)!. Show that (p − 1)! = −1 (mod p) Remark:
Think about what are the values of inverses of 1, 2, . . ....
1. Consider the following function
F(x) = {2x / 25 0<x<5
{0
otherwise
a) Prove that f(x) is a valid probability function.
b) Develop an inverse-transformation for this function.
c) Assume a multiplicative congruential random number generator
with parameters:
a: 23, m: 100, and xo: 17. Generate two random variates from the
function for (x).
Consider the Newton-Raphson method for finding root of a
nonlinear function
??+1=??−?(??)?′(??), ?≥0.
a) Prove that if ? is simple zero of ?(?), then the N-R iteration
has quadratic convergence.
b) Prove that if ? is zero of multiplicity ? , then the N-R
iteration has only linear convergence.
