Proving a Limit Does Not Exist

I'm not even sure how to approach this. I try factoring out $xy$ in the numerator to get $xy(x^2 - y^2)$ but I don't think that gets me anywhere with the denominator.

          HINT:



          What happens if the limit is taken along $y=2x$? What happens when the limit is taken along $y=0$? Are these equal? If not, what can one conclude?

            Putting $x=y$ your expression vanishes, and for$x=2y$, the limit will be $1/3$. Therefore the limit does not exist

              Let's approach the limit along the line $y=mx.$



              $begin{align}
              &lim_{(x,y)to (0,0)}dfrac{x^3y-xy^3}{x^4+2y^4}\
              &=lim_{xto 0}dfrac{x^3mx-x(mx)^3}{x^4+2(mx)^4}\
              &=lim_{xto 0}dfrac{x^4m-m^3x^4}{x^4+2m^4x^4}\
              &=lim_{xto 0}dfrac{m-m^3}{1+2m^4}\
              &=dfrac{m-m^3}{1+2m^4}\
              end{align}$



              So what can you conclude about the limit ?

                                        How to label and detect the document text images

                                        Image
                                        1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

                                        Tabula Rosettana

                                        Image
                                        Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
