Analysis III 2019 Further Questions

Here are some extra questions. The general level is a little towards the
harder end of the example sheet questions.
Sheet 1 extras
1. Consider the function g : [0, 1] → R defined as follows. Set g(x) = 1q if
x = aq is a rational in lowest terms, and g(x) = 0 if x is irrational. Show that
g is integrable.
Hence, or otherwise, show that there are two integrable functions f, g :
[0, 1] → [0, 1] such that the composition f ◦ g is not integrable.
Sheet 2 extras
2. Suppose that f is Riemann integrable on [−π, π]. Prove the “Riemann–
Lebesgue lemma”, namely that
Z π
lim f (x) cos nxdx = 0.
n→∞ −π

(Hint: you may assume standard properties of the cosine function. First
check the result for step functions)
3. Show that if g : [a, b] → [c, d] is an integrable function f : [c, d] → R is
continuous then the composition f ◦ g is integrable. (Hint: use Sheet 2, Q5.)
Sheet 3 extras
4. Let f be a strictly increasing continuous function on [0, 1] such that f (0) =
0 and f (1) = 1.
(i) Show that f has a well-defined inverse g such that f ◦ g(x) = g ◦ f (x) =
x, and that g is also strictly increasing and continuous.
(ii) If P, 0 = x0 < x1 < · · · < xn = 1 is a partition, write
n
X f (xi−1 ) + f (xi ) 
S(f ; P) = (xi − xi−1 ).
i=1

Show that Z 1
S(f ; P) → f
0
as mesh(P) → 0.

(iii) If f (P) denotes the partition 0 = f (x0 ) < f (x1 ) < · · · < f (xn ) = 1,
show that Z 1
S(g, f (P)) → g
0

as mesh(P) → 0.

(iv) Hence, or otherwise, give an expression for


Z 1 Z 1
f (x)dx + g(x)dx.
0 0

5. Let un (x) = (1 − x2 )2 xn . Prove that P


P∞
n=0 un converges uniformly on
1
[0, 1]. By integrating term-by-term, evaulate ∞n=1 n(n+2)(n+4) .

6. Show that 0 log
x−1
dx exists. Show, furthermore, that it equals π 2 /6 (you
P∞ 1 2
may assume that n=1 n2 = π6 ).

7. Show that the improper integral


Z ∞
dx
e x(log x)c

exists if and P
only if c > 1. (You need not evaluate the integral, and you may
assume that ∞ k=1 k
−c
converges if and only if c > 1.)
