Homotopy equivalence of closed curves

Consider the family \[C_{\alpha}:\big({2(\alpha-\cos{t})\,\cos{t},\,2(\alpha-\cos{t})\,\sin{t}}\big)\,,\;t\in[0,2\pi]\,,\;\alpha\in\mathbb{R},\] of closed parametric curves. Let $X_{\alpha}$ is the image set of $C_{\alpha}$ equipped with the induced topology of $\mathbb{R}^2$. For which values of $\...

Continuous functions

Let $(X,\rho)$, $(Y,d)$ two metric spaces and $f,g:X\longrightarrow Y$ two continuous functions.
  1. Prove that the set $F=\big\{x\in X\;|\; f(x)=g(x) \big\}$ is closed set of $X$.
  2. If $D$ is a dense subset of $X$, such that $f (x) = g(x)$, for every $x\in D$, prove that $f = g$.

Not closet set

Let $(X,\rho)$ a metric space and $(x_n)_{n\in{\mathbb{N}}}$ a Cauchy sequence in $X$, such that the set $\{x_n\;|\; n\in{\mathbb{N}}\}$ of the terms of this sequence it isn't a closed set. Prove that exists $x\in X$, such that $x_n\stackrel{\rho}{\longrightarrow}x$.

Two examples

Give an example of a descending sequence $(F_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of non-empty closed subsets of metric space $(\mathbb{R}, |\cdot|)$, such that $\bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty}F_n=\varnothing$. Give an example of a descending sequence $(F_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of non-empty closed subsets of metric space $(\...

Re: Symetry group of Tetrahedron

We give a solution in the case of the tetrahedron: Definition: A symmetry of a (regular) tetrahedron $S$ is a linear transformation $T:\mathbb{R}^3\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}^3$ with orthogonal matrix which also leaves tetrahedron $S$ unchanged(*), i.e. $T(S)=S$. Definition: An axis of symmetry of a ...

Area & surface integral

Let $E$ be the surface with parametric representation \begin{align*} \overline{R}:(-3,3)&\times[0,2\pi]\longrightarrow{\mathbb{R}}^3\,; \quad \overline{R}(r,\theta)=\left({\begin{array}{c} \frac{r}{\sqrt{9-r^2}}\,\cos{\theta}\\ \frac{r}{\sqrt{9-r^2}}\,\sin{\theta}\\ \theta \end{array}}\right)\,,...

Re: Surface area of an Elliptic Paraboloid

... $$A_P=ab\int_0^1\int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{1+\frac{4r^2\cos^2\theta}{a}+\frac{4r^2\sin^2\theta}{b}}\,r\,d\theta dr$$ ... The integral $\int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{1+\frac{4r^2\cos^2\theta}{a}+\frac{4r^2\sin^2\theta}{b}}\,d\theta$ is an elliptic integral of second type. Thus, the corresponding double integral ...

Sure, in this case! But in general, to find a suitable curve isn't easy.

Re: Show that a vector field is not conservative (example)

...I tried using $r(t)=t\vec{i}+t\vec{j}, \space t\in[\alpha,\beta]$, but it didn't work. What curve would be a better choice for $C$ and what's the deal with $\mathrm{rot}\,F$ being zero?.. Here is a 2nd solution, choosing an appropriate (closed) curve: The line integral of $\overline{F}$ over the...
