Database design - many-to-many relationship between three columns
Database design help. many-to-many relationship
I am given this problem: let $a\ge0$,$b\ge0$, and the sequences $a_n$ and $b_n$ are defined in this way: $a_0:=a$, $b_0:=b$ and $a_{n+1}:= \sqrt{a_nb_n}$ and $b_{n+1}:=\frac{1}{2}(a_n+b_n)$ for all $n\in\Bbb{N}$    To prove is that both sequences converge and that they have the same limit. I don't know how to show this. I have spent 2 hours on this, no sign of success Example of non-isomorphic structures which are elementarily equivalent Incompatibility between TikZ and babel In my preamble, you'll find:  \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1} \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} \usepackage[sfmath]{kpfonts} \usepackage[mathrmOrig]{sfmath} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{animate} \usepackage{anysize} \usepackage{arcs} \usepackage{array} \usepackage[scale=0]{background} \usepackage{blindtext} \usepackage{calc} \usepackage{cancel} \usepackage{chngcntr} \usepackage{CJK} \usepackage{CJKspace} \usepackage{CJKpunct} \usepackage{colortbl} \usepackage{enumitem} \usepackage{epstopdf} \usepackage{etoolbox} \usepackage{fancybox} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \usepackage{float} \usepackage{framed} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{hyphenat} \usepackage{ifthen} \usepackage{latexsym} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{multicol} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{mwe} \usepackage{pgffor} \usepackage{rotating} \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{tgheros,tgtermes,tgcursor} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{times} \usepackage{tipa} \usepackage{varwidth} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{wboiboites} \usepackage[abs]{overpic} \usepackage[breaklinks,colorlinks=true,linkcolor=red,citecolor=red, urlcolor=blue]{hyperref} \usepackage[framemethod=TikZ]{mdframed} \usepackage[breakable, theorems, skins]{tcolorbox,empheq} \usepackage[default]{gillius} \usepackage[document]{ragged2e} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[spanish]{babel} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[total={18.59cm,26.5cm},left=1.5cm,top=2.5cm]{geometry} \usetikzlibrary{matrix,arrows, positioning,shadows,shadings,backgrounds,calc, shapes, tikzmark} \usetikzlibrary{shadows.blur} \usetikzlibrary{shapes.symbols} \usetikzlibrary{patterns,fadings} \tcbuselibrary{skins,breakable,listings,theorems}    I'm trying to draw an arrow for X axis and Y axis.   \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[yellow!10, fill=blue!5](-1, -1) rectangle (7, 5); \draw[dotted] (-0.75,-0.75) grid (6.75,4.75); \node[below] at (-0.25,0){$O$}; \draw[-&gt;,black, thick] (-0.75,0)--(6.75,0); \end{tikzpicture}   But I get this error:    Additionally, if I remove -> from the options of \draw the tikz picture compiles normally. How do I delete a folder which is nested quite deep and avoid "File name too long"? I am using scikit learn  to build a Random Forest classifier.  I have heard that it might be possible to build a single decision tree from a Random  Forest. The suggestion  is that although the decision tree may not be as good a classifier as the Random Forest it may be better than the decision tree you would get by using the standard method.  However I haven't been able to find this method online. Does it exist?     My question is not about extracting one  of the decision trees from a Random Forest. It is asking about a method to construct a new decision tree from the whole Random Forest, perhaps by combining the trees in the Random Forest somehow. I am currently trying to establish a clear picture of pure/mixed/entangled/separable/superposed states. In the following I will always assume a basis of $|1\rangle$ and $|0\rangle$ for my quantum systems. This is what I have so far:   superposed: A superposition of two states which a system $A$ can occupy, so $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0\rangle_A+|1\rangle_A)$ seperable: $|1\rangle_A|0\rangle_B$ A state is called separable, if its an element of the (tensor)product basis of system $A$ and $B$ (for all possible choices of bases) entangled: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0\rangle_A|1\rangle_B+|1\rangle_A|0\rangle_B)$ is not a state within the product basis (again for all possible bases). mixed state: Is a statistical mixture, so for instance $|1\rangle$ with probability $1/2$ and $|0\rangle$ with probability $1/2$ pure state: Not a mixed state, no statistical mixture   I hope that the above examples and classifications are correct. If not it would be great if you could correct me. Or add further cases, if this list is incomplete.   On wikipedia I read about      Another way to say this is that while the von Neumann entropy of the whole state is zero (as it is for any pure state), the entropy of the subsystems is greater than zero.   which is perfectly fine. However I also read on wikipedia a criterion for :     Another, equivalent, criterion is that the von Neumann entropy is 0 for a pure state, and strictly positive for a mixed state.   So does this imply that if I look at the subsystems of an entangled state, that they are in a mixed state? Sounds strange... What would be the statistical mixture in that case?  Moreover I also wanted to ask, whether you had further illustrative examples for the different states I tried to describe above. Or any dangerous cases, where one might think a state of one kind to be the other? I am not very familiar with databases and the theories behind how they work.  Is it any slower from a performance standpoint (inserting/updating/querying) to use Strings for Primary Keys than integers? What does a "< <(...)" redirection mean? I've seen that rvm (ruby version manager) is installed using the following command:  bash &lt; &lt;(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )   So as I understand we get the script content and pass it to the bash (I believe &lt; &lt; and &lt;&lt; is the same thing?) I am interested in the &lt; &lt; part, found following description on the net:     &lt;&lt; token    Means use the current input stream as STDIN for the program until token is seen.    This is somehow not clear for me, can someone make an example or explain it in more simple way? $\forall a > 0$ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f(na)$ is convergent. Prove that $\int_{0}^{\infty}f(x) dx$ is convergent. So I was thinking about something for the past while  Consider a large spherical foam-ball with homogeneous density. Where a foam ball is defined as an object that can absorb matter with 0 friction (example: a gravitational well without an object inside). This is a purely theoretical construct.  If the foam-ball has a radius R and a charge Q. What charge must the foam-ball have, such that there is well defined sphere or horizon such that any object with a negative charge (even if it is the slightest bit) must travel faster than C in order to escape the field of the ball.  Aka what charge would turn this into a black-hole for all objects with opposite sign on their charge?  Once again I assume the foam-ball is a single particle, that doesn't repel itself... its just a very large homogenous 'thing' with charge. Search by multiple tags I'd like to be able to search for questions by multiple tags; for example "questions tagged 'nhibernate' and 'web-services'".  I can get close by searching for "nhibernate web-services" but the results tend to be a few questions that relate to both terms--but much more largely just questions that relate to one or the other. Why does my Nikon D3100 give the error "Lens not attached" with a Vivitar 200 telephoto lens? I've noticed that the majority of Ubuntu help websites present apt commands in the following format:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:[ppa-address] sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install [application-name]   But I know that apt commands like this one work too:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:[ppa-address] &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get install [application-name]   Is there a particular reason that most sites present in the first format? Are there known issues with chaining commands with &amp;&amp;, or to put it another way are there any benefits/drawbacks to using either method?  Further, other then loss of internet, are there any circumstances in which an apt command might fail? How to toggle background image on button click? Align  elements side by side Feed lists answered questions as "unanswered" I have a very large codebase (read: thousands of modules) that has code shared across numerous projects that all run on different operating systems with different C++ compilers. Needless to say, maintaining the build process can be quite a chore.   There are several places in the codebase where it would clean up the code substantially if only there were a way to make the pre-processor ignore certain #includes if the file didn't exist in the current folder. Does anyone know a way to achieve that?  Presently, we use an #ifdef around the #include in the shared file, with a second project-specific file that #defines whether or not the #include exists in the project. This works, but it's ugly. People often forget to properly update the definitions when they add or remove files from the project. I've contemplated writing a pre-build tool to keep this file up to date, but if there's a platform-independent way to do this with the preprocessor I'd much rather do it that way instead. Any ideas? The representative point of a cluster or cluster center for the k-means algorithm is the component-wise mean of the points in its cluster. The mean is chosen because it helps to minimize the within cluster variances (which is to say that it is minimizing within cluster squared Euclidean distance, since its the same). Now, when I want to use a different distance metric, like L1 (Manhattan distance), I would be minimizing the within cluster absolute deviations (if I choose to). I was looking at what the centers calculation would be like, because the mean won't reduce the new objective function, and I found this on the Matlab documentation of their kmeans function for the distance parameter     cityblock - Sum of absolute differences, i.e., the L1 distance. Each centroid is the component-wise median of the points in that cluster.   Now, how did they come up with the component-wise median? How does a median minimize absolute deviations? I would like AUCTeX (that is, Emacs with auctex loaded) to suggest more LaTeX macros when using completion (M-Tab or C-Ret) than it does by default. I would like to have macros from packages I have downloaded on CTAN and macros I have written. I would also like it if it would complete \section or other macros that can be accessed via C-c C-s, C-c C-e etc.  Solution: I could not make the code quoted by  work. i get an error on loading emacs but did not looked much further in because I ca bear the nuisance of appending a few lines to my files.  The link given by Ben ( contains a working solution, thus I accept his answer. I had come across this page in my researchs but somehow messed up things. What eventually worked for me was using TeX-auto-generate TEX AUTO to create a bunch of .el files in the ~/.emacs.d/auctex/auto direcoty. Note that this directory must be created beforhand. For some reasons TeX-macro-private did not achieve the wanted result. Assigning row number for sorted table by column in QGIS Field calculator has a great function under &quot;Records&quot; called &quot;$rownum&quot; which returns (assigns) the number of the current row. Is there a way to make it work together with sorting? Let's say I want to sort table by column &quot;length&quot; and get the order (sequence) of lines by length from shortest to longest. I know I can use some office spreadsheet software easily for this to sort by column and populate new column with order (sequence). But I would prefer to do the whole job in QGIS. As workaround there is also  - using mmqgis plugin and function modify/sort and after that use &quot;$rownum&quot; on the new saved file.
