PRIME NUMBER CURVED NUMERATIONS-- HOPE RESEARCH ANNOUNCES NEW RESEARCH -- CLASSIC 3 AND 4 EQUALIZATION
After the final placement of absolutly correct 200 prime numbers, and our near debacle where a professor with PHD from MIT, either accidentally misplaced and or tried to steal the alogarithm/method for prime placement that produced the placed clear 200 million prime numbers ( still undetermined), Hope research ... 30 May 2010 08:57

The fundamental problem with Godels theorems- why the first and second theorems end in paradox
colin leslie dean points out The fundamental problem with Godels theorems are he creates an imprdeicative statement and the theorems apply to themselves ie are impredicative- thus leading to paradox ie this is godels impredicative statement used in his first theorem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_inc... 29 May 2010 11:23

Way off topic: oil and politics (was: Hexagonal grid and itsthree directions)
thusNso: Dear woould-be replacer of Jerry "no oil, except from Texas etc." Brown: no change from Jerry Brown's '69 "platform," eh? it is intolerably stupid, insofar as we do need "fossilized fuels TM (sik)," Don't you think, this is getting too far away from the subject in question?

Absolute Logic Is Completeness Principle.By Aiya-Oba
Absolute Logic: equator of self-contradiction (the Eternal Oneness of Pair), is the self-creator and Completeness Principle of Everything.- Aiya-Oba (Philosopher). Thus, (2A + B) + (2B + A) ... 3(A + B) Where A or B, can be any Possible integer, but never both zero. Such that, A = 0, B = 1, is: (2... 30 May 2010 19:47

Interesting optimization problem
Hi, Have you ever seen the following optimization problem?: n max prod (p_i)^a_i i=1 n subject to sum p_i = 1 i=1 where a_i is a positive constant for i=1,...,n I would like to know if t... 29 May 2010 20:07

undefined fundamental surface in hyperbolic geometry
Two of the 5 Platonic solids can be formed thus: A unit circle has angle 360 deg at center divided into 4/6 parts of 90/60 degrees each. Gauss Curvature positive. One fraction is cut and _removed_ so that 3/5 sectors are respy left. Other corners are made up into vertices of regular polygons ( flat square... 11 Jun 2010 15:55

Is this function convex?
Let x1, x2,...xm be positive variables (actually, >= 1). The function is: 1/(x1*x2*...*xm). Intuitively it's gotta be convex, but I can't prove it. Tried every test for convexity I can find, including proof by induction. But they become intractable (at least for me). Any suggestions? ... 29 May 2010 15:45
