Unsolved problems in number theory | Polynomials | Theorems in number theory | Conjectures
Lehmer's conjecture, also known as the Lehmer's Mahler measure problem, is a problem in number theory raised by Derrick Henry Lehmer. The conjecture asserts that there is an absolute constant such that every polynomial with integer coefficients satisfies one of the following properties: * The Mahler measure of is greater than or equal to . * is an integral multiple of a product of cyclotomic polynomials or the monomial , in which case . (Equivalently, every complex root of is a root of unity or zero.) There are a number of definitions of the Mahler measure, one of which is to factor over as and then set The smallest known Mahler measure (greater than 1) is for "Lehmer's polynomial" for which the Mahler measure is the Salem number It is widely believed that this example represents the true minimal value: that is, in Lehmer's conjecture.

Please Subscribe here, thank you!!! https://goo.gl/JQ8Nys Proof of Lemma and Lagrange's Theorem. This video starts by proving that any two right cosets have the same cardinality. Then we prove Lagrange's Theorem which says that if H is a subgroup of a finite group G then the order of H div

Berge's lemma, an animated proof
Berge's lemma is a mathematical theorem in graph theory which states that a matching in a graph is of maximum cardinality if and only if it has no augmenting paths. But what do those terms even mean? And how do we prove Berge's lemma to be true? == CORRECTION: at 7:50, the red text should

In this video, I prove the famous Riemann-Lebesgue lemma, which states that the Fourier transform of an integrable function must go to 0 as |z| goes to infinity. This is one of the results where the proof is more important than the theorem, because it's a very classical Lebesgue integral
