Instructions for the Assignment

(1) Carefully explain all your arguments.

(2) Only PDF files will be accepted.

(3) Late submissions will not be marked.

Question 1

Let T be a linear operator on an inner product space V , and suppose that ||T (x)|| = ||x|| for all x ∈ V.
Prove that T is one to one.

Question 2

Let V = R2 , and let ||(a, b)|| = max{|a|, |b|}, for (a, b) ∈ V. Prove that || · || as defined here is a norm on V.

Question 3

Let V be an inner product space, S and S0 be subsets of V , and W be a finite dimensional subspace of V .
Prove the following:

(3.1) If S0 ⊆ S then S ⊥ ⊆ S0⊥ .

(3.2) S ⊆ (S ⊥ )⊥ , so span(S) ⊆ (S ⊥ )⊥ .

(3.3) W = (W ⊥ )⊥ . Hint: Use exercise 6, section 6.2 of Friedberg, 4th Edition.

Question 4

Let F : R3 → R3 be defined as

F (x, y, z) = (3x + 4y − 5z, 2x − 6y + 7z, 5x − 9y + z).

Find the adjoint of F .

Question 5

Let V be a finite dimensional inner product space and let T be a linear operator on V. Prove that R(T ∗ ) = N(T )⊥ .
Hint: Prove that R(T ∗ )⊥ = N(T ), and then use (3.3) above.

Question 6

Let T be a normal operator on a finite dimensional inner product space V . Prove that:

(6.1) N(T ) = N(T ∗ ).

(6.2) R(T ) = R(T ∗ ).


Hint: Use Theorem 6.15 from Friedberg 4th Edition, and the result from the previous exercise.
