| Nov 3, 2015 at 18:58 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | This also shows how important are descriptive titles. The list of related questions of the newer question show two questions with $J = \int_{a}^{b} F(x, y, y^{'})$ in the title. One is your question, the other one is this one, where $F$ is a different function. If your question had this in the title at the time when the new question was posted, the probability that somebody would notice in the list of related questions that there is an older similar question would be greater. | |

| Nov 3, 2015 at 8:11 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | In your specific situation, you could check whether your question and the other one have the same notation. If yes, you can suggest merging. You can do this by flagging the post. Or you can ask for advice from moderators in Mods' Office before you do that. | |
| Nov 3, 2015 at 8:10 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @PraphullaKoushik If two questions are duplicates, that does not automatically mean that merging is possible. Main problem might be different notation. For example, "$g\circ f$ is injecitve $\Rightarrow$ $f$ is injective" and "$f\circ g$ is injecitve $\Rightarrow$ $g$ is injective" are clearly duplicates. But if there are answers posted to both of them, merging would cause some of the answers have a completely different notation, which would be rather confusing. | |

| Nov 3, 2015 at 7:44 | comment | added | user87543 | @GerryMyerson : I saw that just now.. Isn't it a better idea to merge those to rather than marking previous question as duplicate? | |

| Nov 3, 2015 at 6:06 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | If your intention isto discuss this one particular instance, you should tag this post as (specific-question) (see the tag-info). If the question is only mean an example and you want to discuss closing older question as a duplicate of a newer one, then you should probably make this a bit clearer in your post. (However, this was discussed on meta before, so in such case, it would be probably a duplicate.) | |
