Homework Assignment #6 1

Due: Friday December 16, 2022, at 6:00am.

1. (40%) Prove Theorem 7.2 (b)(d)(f)(h).


2. (30%) Consider the function space F(S) for any nonempty set S.

(a) (15%) Let {s1 , s2 , ..., sn } be a subset of S, and let V be the set of all functions f in F(S) that
satisfies f (s1 ) + f (s2 ) + ... + f (sn ) = 0. Prove or disprove that V is a subspace of F(S).
(b) (15%) Let s1 and s2 be elements of S, and let W be the set of all functions f in F(S) such
that f (s1 )f (s2 ) = 0. Prove or disprove that W is a subspace of F(S).
3. (30%) Let T be the operator D2 + D, where D is the derivative operator on C∞ .
(a) (15%) Show that 1 and e−t lie in the null space of T .
(b) (15%) Show that for any real number a, the function eat is an eigenvector of T corresponding
to the eigenvalue a2 + a.

Guidelines of Homework Submission:


• You are allowed to discuss with other students or ask for hints from the TAs. But you have to
write your answers and arguments solely on your own, without looking at any part of anyone else’s
answers. Sharing your written (or typed) answers with others is strongly prohibited. Both parties
will get a zero-score penalty for this mis-conduct.
• Submit your answer online as a document file (in *.pdf only) that contains all answers in this
problem set.
• Submit your files online onto the NTU Cool system. No paper shall be handed in. If needed, you
can choose to write (sketch) your answers on a sheet first and convert the image(s) to a single pdf
file.
• Late submissions will be processed according to the following rules.
(1) Homework received by 6am, December 16 (t1 ) will be counted in full.
(2) Homework received after 9am, December 16 (t2 ) will not be counted.
(3) Homework received between t1 and t2 will be counted with a discount rate
t2 − t
t2 − t1
where t is the submission time. Note that t2 − t1 is three hours.
