Fix $Minmathbb{R}^{ntimes n}$ and define the vector space
begin{align*}
mathbb{S} = left{MX - XM mid X in mathbb{R}^{ntimes n}right}.

Sketch of proof: Define the linear map $T:Bbb C^{n times n} to Bbb C^{n times n}$ by $T(X) = MX - XM$. We see that $ker(T) = {X mid MX = XM}$. By this post or this post, we see that $dim ker (T) geq n$. By the rank-nullity theorem, we have $$
dim(Bbb S) = dim(operatorname{im(T)}) = n^2 - dim ker(T) leq n^2-n
$$
as desired.

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

            Image
            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
