Question 1
1.1
t2
Let the function f : R R be defined as f (t) = 2 1.
(a) Is f one-one ?
(b) Is f onto ?

1.2
Consider the following functions

f (t) = 1 for t [0, 1]

= 0 for t
/ [0, 1].

and,

g(t) = t for t [1, 0]

= 0 for t
/ [1, 0]

Sketch h(t) = f (t) + g(2t 1).

Question 2
2.1
1
For what values of p R is the function f : [0, 1] R defined as f (t) = tp in
(i) L1 (0, 1)? (ii)L2 (0, 1)?

2.2
1
For what values of p R is the function f : [0, 1] R defined as f (t) = tp in
(i) L1 (1, )? (ii)L2 (1, )?

2.3
Give an example of a function f (t) such that
(i) f (t) L2 (0, ) AND f (t)
/ L1 (0, )

(ii)f (t) L (0, ) AND f (t) / L2 (0, )

Question 6
Let I = (0, ) and w(t) = et . Consider the function f1 (t) = t and f2 (t) = t2 .
Check whether the functions are orthogonal in L2 (I, w). If not, use Gram
Schmidt orthonormalization procedure to make them orthonormal. The defini-
tion of inner product is the same one as used in class.

Question 7
Consider the following vectors in C5 .

1 0 1
0 1 0
1 , V2 = 1

Approximate the vector x = (3, 1, 1, 0, 1) with the given vectors and also
calculate the least square error as defined in class.

Question 8
(1 + 1 + 2)

(a) For f (x) = 1, g(x) = x2 in L2 (I) where I = (0, 1) verify

||f + g||2 6 ||f ||2 + ||g||2

(b) Test whether the above relation holds true for f (x) = 1 , g(x) = x 1
x
given the interval I same.

(c) Use Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality (given below) to prove the above relation
for any two functions f, g L2 (I):
R R qR qR
| I f (x)g(x)dx| 6 I |f (x)||g(x)|dx 6 I
|f (x)|2 dx I |g(x)|2 dx

Question 9
(2 + 2)

Let T be any positive real number and I = [ T2 , T2 ]. Find the conditions for
orthonormality in L2 (I) for:

(a) f (t) = A.exp(it)

(b) f (t) = A.exp[( + i)t]

where , R

Hint: Two vectors in L2 space are orthonormal if they are ORTHOGONAL

and UNIT VECTORS.
