Dirichlet's principle

In mathematics, and particularly in potential theory, Dirichlet's principle is the assumption that the minimizer of a certain energy functional is a solution to Poisson's equation. (Wikipedia).

Dirichlet Eta Function - Integral Representation

Today, we use an integral to derive one of the integral representations for the Dirichlet eta function. This representation is very similar to the Riemann zeta function, which explains why their respective infinite series definition is quite similar (with the eta function being an alte rna

Representation theory: Dirichlet's theorem

In this talk we see how to use characters of finite abelian groups to prove Dirichlet's theorem that there are infinitely many primes in certain arithmetic progressions. We first recall Euler's proof that there are infinitely many primes, which is the simplest case of Dirichlet's proof. T

(ML 7.7) Dirichlet-Categorical model (part 1)

The Dirichlet distribution is a conjugate prior for the Categorical distribution (i.e. a PMF a finite set). We derive the posterior distribution and the (posterior) predictive distribution under this model.

A Taste of Calculus of Variations

Dirichlet's Principle In this video, I give you a taste of calculus of variations by illustrating Dirichlet's principle, which says that a function u is a minimizer of a certain Dirichlet energy (kinetic + potential energy) if and only if u solves Poisson's equation. This is a neat way of

James Maynard: Half-isolated zeros and zero-density estimates

We introduce a new zero-detecting method which is sensitive to the vertical distribution of zeros of the zeta function. This allows us to show that there are few 'half-isolated' zeros, and allows us to improve the classical zero density result to N(σ,T)≪T24(1−σ)/11+o(1) if we assume that t
