First, substitute $t = (1-x)/(1+x)$.



$$begin{aligned} I = int_{-1}^{1}left(frac{1-x}{1+x}right)^{a}frac{mathrm{d}x}{(x-b)^{2}} &= frac{1}{2}int_{0}^{infty}t^{a}left(frac{x+1}{x-b}right)^{2}mathrm{d}t \
&= 2int_{0}^{infty}frac{t^{a},mathrm{d}t}{(1-t-b(1+t))^{2}} \
&= 2int_{0}^{infty}frac{t^{a},mathrm{d}t}{((1-b) - (1+b)t)^{2}} \
&= 2int_{0}^{infty}frac{t^{a},mathrm{d}t}{((b+1)t + (b-1))^{2}}end{aligned}$$



Let $b_{pm} = bpm 1$. Then after $u = b_{+}t/b_{-}$,



$$begin{aligned} I = 2int_{0}^{infty}frac{t^{a},mathrm{d}t}{(b_{+}t + b_{-})^{2}} &= frac{2}{b_{-}^{2}}left(frac{b_{-}}{b_{+}}right)^{a+1}int_{0}^{infty}frac{u^{a},mathrm{d}u}{(u+1)^{2}}.end{aligned}$$



Using the beta function



$$ frac{Gamma(x)Gamma(y)}{Gamma(x+y)} = int_{0}^{infty}frac{z^{y-1},mathrm{d}z}{(z+1)^{x+y}},$$



we identify $x=1-a$ and $y=1+a$. Then



$$ I = frac{2}{b_{-}^{2}}left(frac{b_{-}}{b_{+}}right)^{a+1}frac{Gamma(1-a)Gamma(1+a)}{Gamma(2)}.$$



Using the reflection identity $Gamma(z)Gamma(1-z) = pi/sinpi z$ and recursion $Gamma(1+a) = aGamma(a)$, we have



$$ frac{Gamma(1-a)Gamma(1+a)}{Gamma(2)} = Gamma(1-a)aGamma(a) = frac{pi a}{sinpi a}.$$



The answer is then



$$ I = frac{2}{(b-1)^{2}}left(frac{b-1}{b+1}right)^{a}frac{b-1}{b+1}frac{pi a}{sinpi a} = boxed{frac{2}{b^{2}-1}left(frac{b-1}{b+1}right)^{a}frac{pi a}{sinpi a}.}$$

Are they similar matrix

0 $begingroup$ Do $begin{bmatrix} 0&i&0\0&0&1\0&0&0 end{bmatrix} $ and $begin{bmatrix} 0&0&0\-i&0&0\0&1&0 end{bmatrix} $ are similar.Is this True/false Clearly both are nilpotent and one is conjucate transpose of other but how to know if they are similar.i'm stuck.

“minimization” problem in Euclidean space related to orthonormal basis

Image
3 $begingroup$ I have stumbled upon an exercice for second year undegraduate student majoring in economics which I find quite demanding. I have an idea for the solution, but it seems awfully complicated, and I am wondering if there was a simpler way to solve it. This goes as follows: Let $(E, langle, rangle)$ be a euclidean space of dimension $n geq 2$ . 1) For any $x in E$ , show that $||x|| = sqrt{n}$ if and only if there exists $(e_1, dots, e_n)$ an orthonormal basis of $E$ such that $x =e_1+ ldots + e_n$ . 2) For any $(x,y) in E$ , show that $||x|| = sqrt{n}$ , $||y|| = sqrt{frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}}$ and $langle x,y rangle = frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ if and only if there eixsts $(e_1, ldots, e_n)$ an orthonormal basis of $E$ such that $x = e_1 + ldots + e_n$ and $y = e_1 + 2e_2 + ldots + ne_n$ The first q
