Arguably the simplest variation of this style of proof as we avoid reducing to the cubic case entirely.
We give a motivated introduction to the theory of perverse sheaves, culminating in the Decomposition Theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein, Deligne and Gabber. A goal of this survey is to show how the theory develops naturally from classical…
A proof of the continuous martingale convergence theorem is provided. It relies on a classical martingale inequality and the almost sure convergence of a uniformly bounded non-negative super-martingale, after a truncation argument.
This is a note of purely didactical purpose as the proof of the Jordan measure decomposition is often omitted in the related literature. Elementary proofs are provided for the existence, the uniqueness, and the minimality property of the…
In this report we describe a simple proof of Parikh's theorem a la Takahashi, based on a decomposition of derivation trees. The idea of decomposition is appeared in her master's thesis written in 1970.
Proofs of Tychonoff's theorem often seem to require a bit of magic. Machinery such as ultrafilters, nets or maximal families with the finite intersection property are employed to give proofs that can be very neat, but not the kind of thing…
We present an elementary combinatorial proof of the celebrated Friendship theorem. The proof involves looking at independent sets and constructing a bound on their size which forces a contradiction.
The Blaschke-Lebesgue Theorem states that among all planar convex domains of given constant width B the Reuleaux triangle has minimal area. It is the purpose of the present note to give a direct proof of this theorem by analyzing the…
By changing variables in a suitable way and using dominated convergence methods, this note gives a short proof of Stirling's formula and its refinement.
Modifying an idea of E. Brietzke we give simple proofs for the recurrence relations of some sequences of binomial sums which have previously been obtained by other more complicated methods.
The main purpose of this paper is to present a decomposition theorem for nonnegative sesquilinear forms. The key notion is the short of a form to a linear subspace. This is a generalization of the well-known operator short defined by M. G.…
We give a one-sentence elementary proof of the combinatorial Fa\`a di Bruno's formula.
I present a simple derivation of the de Gennes narrowing phenomenon.
I give a proof of the uniform boundedness theorem that is elementary (i.e. does not use any version of the Baire category theorem) and also extremely simple.
We provide a proof of Wilson's Theorem and Wolstenholme's Theorem based on a direct approach by Lagrange requiring only basic properties of the primes and the Binomial theorem. The goal is to show how similar the two theorems are by…
Alternative approaches to Lebesgue integration are considered.
The original proof of the Sharkovsky theorem is presented in full detail. The proof should be accessible to readers with basic Real Analysis background. Although nowadays there are several alternative proofs of this classical result, we…
A very short and direct proof along the lines of the Kamae-Katznelson-Weiss approach.
Formalization of real analysis offers a chance to rebuild traditional proofs of important theorems as unambiguous theories that can be interactively explored. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Lebesgue Differentiation…
This paper gives an overview of some basic properties of Leibniz algebras. Some of the results were known earlier, but in the article they are accompanied by new simple proofs. Some of the results are new. The article can be viewed as a…
