Note updated - and you need footnote 3 for the 2009 exam for next week.

Less than an hour, and an update.

Meanwhile I got a question from one of you concerning the so-called p0 constant that is mentioned in the 2009 exam. It plagues me a bit, because it is open-book exam, and whoever reads FMEA Theorem 9.4.1 / MA2 sec. 12.4 "Degenererte problemer" will see it and maybe use it. OTOH, mentioning it paves room for misunderstanding the first of the following bullet items:

  • Important to note: it is not   p(0) or p(t0). 
  • If you use your lecture notes or my just-refreshed upload rather than the above book references, you can ignore every mention of p0 in any seminar assignment. And it is not exam relevant, at least not in 2019.
  • This is more explained in footnote 3 in the note, which I obviously shouldn't have told you to take lightly. 

Another update to the note is the paragraph Sufficient conditions page 5:

  • Added a point that the control region need not be a convex set. (The Norwegian book has a superfluous assumption here.)
  • Added new footnote 5 to clarify a "not exam relevant":
    Skip FMEA's note about what to do when even the Arrow condition fails.
