The circles arranged in one stick as shown in the picture: The task is to move all the circles to a nearby stick, circles can be move from one stick to another, but a circle cannot be put over a smaller one. What are the minimum number of steps needed to complete this task?

  • Conceptual Language and Learning

    Mon, 12/26/2016 - 15:17 — yonatan zilpa
    Normally when we learn human spoken language we translate words to our own mother tongue language. But when we learn our mother tongue language we have no language to translate new words. How do we understand mother tongue without translating words? Is there some kind of conceptual language where we can translate mother tongue new words? And if so, can we use this conceptual language to become better learner?

  • Hahn Decomposition Theorem

    Thu, 11/24/2016 - 14:07 — yonatan zilpa
    Let $\nu$ be a signed measure over measurable space $(X,\mathcal{M})$. Denote $\tilde{N}=\left\{ u\in \mathcal{M} \; :\; \mbox{$u$ is $\nu$-negative} \right\}$ and $\tilde{P}=\left\{ u\in \mathcal{M} \; :\; \mbox{$u$ is $\nu$-positive} \right\}$
    1.   $\exists N\in \tilde{N}\Big(\exists P \in \tilde{P}\Big( N\cap P=\emptyset \; \mbox{ and }\; N\cup P = X\Big)\Big)$
    2.   $\forall N,N^{'}\in \tilde{N}\Big(\forall P,P^{'}\in \tilde{P} \Big(N\sqcup P =N^{'}\sqcup P^{'}=X \; \Longrightarrow \nu( P\triangle \tilde{P})=\nu( N\triangle \tilde{N})=0\Big)\Big) $
