1 Premiliminary Examination, Part I & II Monday, August 9, 16 Dept. of Mathematics University of Pennsylvania Problem 1. Let V be the real vector space of continuous real-valued functions on the closed interval [, 1] and let w V. For p, q V, define p, q = 1 pxqxwx dx. a Suppose that wα > for all α [, 1]. Does this follow that the above defines an inner product on V? Justify your assertion b Does there exist a choice of w such that w1/ < and such that the above defines an inner product on V? Justify your assertion. Solution. a Yes, when wa > on [, 1], p, q is an inner product over R. We need verify four properties: 1. f + g, q = f, q + g, q, from the distributive property and linearity of integration. cf, q = c f, q, from linearity of integration 3. f, g = g, f, from commutativity 4. f, f and zero if and only if f To see why the fourth property is true recall that if f is continuous and f then f = f. So, f, f = f w = f = f =. And of course f, f since the integral of non-negative functions is non-negative. b No p, q is not an inner product, as property 4 fails. To see this, we will find a non zero function f such that f, f. From continuity of w we can find a δ > such that wa < for all a 1/ δ, 1/+δ. Define fx = f 1+δ 1 x 1/ δ 1 [ 1 δ, 1+δ ] x, where 1 Ax is the indicator function of A. As f 1 δ = =, the function f is indeed continuous. Since the function f w is non-positive on [, 1], we conclude that f, f. Problem. Let {x n } be a sequence of real numbers indexed by n, and let < c < 1 be a real number. Suppose that x n+1 x n c x n x n 1 for all n = 1,, 3,... a If n k are positive integers, show that x n+1 x k < ck 1 c x 1 x Hint: First bound x n+1 x n in terms of x 1 x. b Prove that the sequence {x n } converges to a real number. Solution. a By induction we get x n+1 x n c x n x n 1 c n x 1 x, for all n. Now, by applying the 1
2 triangle inequality and the previous bound we obtain x n+1 x k = x n+1 x n + x n x n 1 + x k+1 x k n x 1 x = c k x 1 x m=k c m n m=k c k x 1 x u c m k c u = ck 1 c x 1 x Sup- b It suffices to show that {x n } is Cauchy. Let ɛ >. We pick N such that cn 1 c x 1 x < ɛ. pose n, m N, then from part a we have x n x m cmin{n,m} x 1 x 1 c cn 1 c x 1 x < ɛ Problem 3. a In the polynomial ring Q[x] consider the ideal I generated by x 4 1 and x 3 x. Does I have a generator fx Q[x]? Either find one or explain why none exists. b In the polynomial ring Q[x, y], do the same for the ideal generated by the polynomials x and y. Solution. asince Q is a field Q[x] is a PID, there is f Q[x] such that I = f. By finding the common roots of x 4 1 and x 3 x, we obtain that gcdx 4 1, x 3 x = x 1. Hence, there are p, q Q[x] such that pxx qxx 3 x = x 1. 1 We claim that the ideal I generated by x 4 1 and x 3 x is equal to the ideal J generated by x 1. Since x 1 x 4 1, x 3 x we have that x 4 1, x 3 x J, therefore, by minimality of I, I J. Similarly, using equation 1, we conclude that J I. b The ideal I generated by x, y is not principal. We will argue by contradiction, and assume I = f for some f Q[x, y]. First notice that f / Q, as I does not contain constant polynomials. Since x, y I, f divides both x and y; but x and y are non-associated irreducible elements of the ring, therefore f must be a unit, which gives a contradiction. Problem 4. For each of the following, give either a proof or a counterexample. a Let f be a continuous real-valued function on the open interval < x < 3. continuous on the open interval 1 < x <? Must f be uniformly b Suppose instead that f is only assumed to be continuous on the open interval < x <. Must f be uniformly continuous on the open interval 1 < x <? Solution. a Yes. The restriction of f on [1, ] is uniformly continuous since [1, ] is compact. Therefore, the restriction of f on 1 < x < must be uniformly continuous as well. b Not necessarily. A counterexample is fx = 1 x. To show this we will argue by contradiction. Assume f is uniformly continuous. Take x n = 1 n, then fx n+1 fx n = n+1 n = 1. This is a contradiction, since uniformly continuous functions map Cauchy sequences to Cauchy sequences.
3 Problem 5. Let V, W be two-dimensional real vectorspaces, and let f 1,, f 5 be linear transformations from V to W. Show that there exist real numbers a 1,..., a 5, not all zero, such that a 1 f a 5 f 5 is the zero transformation. Solution. The vector space of linear transformations from V to W has dimension 4. So, f 1, f,..., f 5 must be linearly dependent. Problem 6. Evaluate e x + siny dx + xy cosy + xy 3 dy, where C is the triangle with vertices C,, 1, 1, 1, 1 oriented counterclockwise. Solution. Define C I to be the interior of C. We will calculate the line integral by applying Green s theorem. e x + siny dx + xy cosy + xy 3 xy cosy + xy 3 e x + siny dy = da x y C = = C I ˆ 1 ˆ x x y 3 dy dx Problem 7. Let f : X Y be a continuous map between metric spaces. For each of the following, give either a proof or a counterexample, using just the definition of compactness. a If A X is compact, the so is fa Y. b If B Y is compact, the so is f 1 B X. Solution. athis is true. Take an open cover of fa α U α. Then, A f 1 fa f 1 α U α = α f 1 U α, so, since A is compact, we can find a finite cover of A, i.e. A n f 1 U i. Finally, applying f to the previous containment we obtain fa n U i, hence, by definition, fa is compact. b This is not true. For instance, suppose that X = R, then for any constant function f : R Y, x c, the preimage f 1 c = R is not compact. Problem 8. Find a continuous function f : R R and a constant A such that ˆ x ft1 + t dt = cosx + A. Solution. Plugging x = into yields A = 1. Take ft = cosx 1+t. We will verify that f satisfies. Substituting f into, the LHS becomes x cost dt = cosx 1. Problem 9. For every integer n > 1, let U n be the group of invertible elements of Z/nZ under multiplication. a Find the orders of U 8 and U 9. Explain. b Determine whether the groups U 8 and U 9 are cyclic. 3
4 Solution. a The multiplicative group U n consists of the invertible elements of Z n. The invertible elements of Z n are the numbers that are relatively prime to n. The number of the relatively prime elements is equal to φn, where φ is Euler s totient function, given by φn = n p n 1 1 p. Therefore U 8 = 3 = 4, and U 9 = 3 3 = 6. b Using the fundamental theorem for abelian groups FTAG an abelian group of 4 elements is either Z Z or Z 4. However, since all the elements {1, 3, 5, 7} have order in U 8, we conclude that U 8 = Z Z, so U 8 is not cyclic. By FTAG an abelian group of order 6, is isomorphic to Z Z 3 = Z6 since gcd, 3 = 1. Therefore, U 9 is cyclic. Problem 1. Let fx, y = x xy + y y. a Does the function f achieve an absolute maximum on R? an absolute minimum on R? If so, find all points where this occurs. b Do the same with R replaced by the square x, y 1. Solution. a As lim x ± fx, =, the function f does not attain a global maximum. Observe that fx, y = x y 3 + y Therefore, the global minimum is attained when y 3 = and x y =. So there is a unique global minimum achieved at 1 3, 3. b Denote D the unit square x, y 1 and D its boundary. Since D is compact f attains a global minimum and maximum. The function f achieves its extrema either in the interior of D, at points where f is vanishing, or on D. To find the critical points we solve fx, y = x y =, x 1 + y = x = 1 3, y = 3. From part a f D must achieve its global minimum at 1 3, 3, consequently, from the previous calculation, f must achieve its maximum somewhere on D. We partition D = 4 D i where D i correspond to the different edges of D, and calculate the points where the maximum occurs. D 1 = {x, y D y = }, since f D1 = x we find arg max f D1 = {1, } and max f D1 = 1. D = {x, y D y = 1}, since f D = x x there are no maxima on D D 3 = {x, y D x = }, since f D3 = y y there are no maxima on D 3 D 4 = {x, y D x = 1}, since f D4 = y 1 we find arg max f D4 = {1, } and max f D4 = 1 From the previous analysis we see that the max f on D is 1, and it is attained at 1,. a b c Problem 11. Let a, b, c be real numbers, and consider the matrix A = b c b c b a a Explain why all the eigenvalues of A must be real. b Show that some eigenvalue λ of A has the property that for every vector v R 3, v Av λ v. Note: You are not being asked to compute the eigenvalue of A. Solution. a Every symmetric matrix has real eigenvalues. Indeed, let v be an eigenvector and λ its corresponding eigenvalue. Then, Hence, λ λ v =. Therefore, λ is real. λ v, v = λv, v = Av, v = v, Av = v, λv = λ v, v 4
5 b Since A is symmetric we can find an orthonormal basis v 1, v, v 3 consisting of eigenvectors of A. Now, let λ i be the corresponding eigenvalues non necessarily distinct. So, using orthogonality, we obtain Av, v = A a i v i, a i v i = = a i λ i v i, a i v i λ i a i v i max λ i a i v i. And since, v = 3 a i v i we conclude. Problem 1. Consider the differential equation y 4 y = ce x where c is a real constant. a Let S c be the set of solutions of this equation. For which c is this set a vector space? Why?. b For each such c, find this solution space explicitly, and find a basis for it. Solution. a For c the space S c is not a vector space since the zero function is not a member of S c. For c =, notice that S c is the kernel of the linear transformation Lf = f 4 f, hence S c is a vector space as the subspace of a vector space. b The characteristic polynomial of the ODE y 4 y = 3 is χr = r 4 r. Solving χr = we find 4 roots, r 1 = and r j = e jiπ 3 for j. Hence, the vectors e rit 3t 3t constitute the desired basis. A different basis, using real valued function is 1, e t, e t cos, e t sin. 5
