The standard branch of the matrix logarithm
Because of Euler’s identity , the complex exponential is not injective: for any complex and integer . As such, the complex logarithm is not well-defined as a single-valued function from to . However,...

The lonely runner conjecture is the following open problem: Conjecture 1 Suppose one has runners on the unit circle , all starting at the origin and moving at different speeds. Then for each runner,...

Here’s a cute identity I discovered by accident recently. Observe that and so one can conjecture that one has when is even, and when is odd. This is obvious in the even case since is a polynomial of...
