Fall 2018 Practice Midterm 2.1 #real_analysis/qual/work
-
Carefully state Tonelli’s theorem for a nonnegative function \(F(x, t)\) on \({\mathbf{R}}^n\times{\mathbf{R}}\).
-
Let \(f:{\mathbf{R}}^n\to [0, \infty]\) and define \begin{align*} {\mathcal{A}}\coloneqq\left\{{(x, t) \in {\mathbf{R}}^n\times{\mathbf{R}}{~\mathrel{\Big\vert}~}0\leq t \leq f(x)}\right\} .\end{align*}
Prove the validity of the following two statements:
- \(f\) is Lebesgue measurable on \({\mathbf{R}}^{n} \iff {\mathcal{A}}\) is a Lebesgue measurable subset of \({\mathbf{R}}^{n+1}\).
- If \(f\) is Lebesgue measurable on \({\mathbf{R}}^n\) then \begin{align*} m(\mathcal{A})=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}} f(x) d x=\int_{0}^{\infty} m\left(\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^{n}{~\mathrel{\Big\vert}~}f(x) \geq t\right\}\right) d t .\end{align*}

\label{hilbert_space_exam_question}
Let \(\left\{{u_n}\right\}_{n=1}^\infty\) be an orthonormal sequence in a Hilbert space \(H\).
-
Let \(x\in H\) and verify that \begin{align*} \left\|x-\sum_{n=1}^{N}\left\langle x, u_{n}\right\rangle u_{n}\right\|_H^{2} = \|x\|_H^{2}-\sum_{n=1}^{N}\left|\left\langle x, u_{n}\right\rangle\right|^{2} .\end{align*} for any \(N\in {\mathbb{N}}\) and deduce that \begin{align*} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left|\left\langle x, u_{n}\right\rangle\right|^{2} \leq\|x\|_H^{2} .\end{align*}
-
Let \(\left\{{a_n}\right\}_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}} \in \ell^2({\mathbb{N}})\) and prove that there exists an \(x\in H\) such that \(a_n = {\left\langle {x},~{u_n} \right\rangle}\) for all \(n\in {\mathbb{N}}\), and moreover \(x\) may be chosen such that \begin{align*} {\left\lVert {x} \right\rVert}_H = \qty{ \sum_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}} {\left\lvert {a_n} \right\rvert}^2}^{1\over 2} .\end{align*}
- Prove that if \(\left\{{u_n}\right\}\) is complete, Bessel’s inequality becomes an equality.
-
Take \(\left\{{a_n}\right\} \in \ell^2\), then note that \(\sum {\left\lvert {a_n} \right\rvert}^2 < \infty \implies\) the tails vanish.
-
Define \(x \coloneqq\displaystyle\lim_{N\to\infty} S_N\) where \(S_N = \sum_{k=1}^N a_k u_k\)
-
\(\left\{{S_N}\right\}\) is Cauchy and \(H\) is complete, so \(x\in H\).
-
By construction, \begin{align*} {\left\langle {x},~{u_n} \right\rangle} = {\left\langle {\sum_k a_k u_k},~{u_n} \right\rangle} = \sum_k a_k {\left\langle {u_k},~{u_n} \right\rangle} = a_n \end{align*} since the \(u_k\) are all orthogonal.
-
By Pythagoras since the \(u_k\) are normal, \begin{align*} {\left\lVert {x} \right\rVert}^2 = {\left\lVert {\sum_k a_k u_k} \right\rVert}^2 = \sum_k {\left\lVert {a_k u_k} \right\rVert}^2 = \sum_k {\left\lvert {a_k} \right\rvert}^2 .\end{align*}
Let \(x\) and \(u_n\) be arbitrary.
` \begin{align*} {\left\langle {x - \sum_^\infty {\left\langle {x},~{u_k} \right\rangle}u_k },~{u_n} \right\rangle} &= {\left\langle {x},~{u_n} \right\rangle}
{\left\langle {\sum_^\infty {\left\langle {x},~{u_k} \right\rangle}u_k },~{u_n} \right\rangle} \ &= {\left\langle {x},~{u_n} \right\rangle}
\sum_^\infty {\left\langle {{\left\langle {x},~{u_k} \right\rangle}u_k },~{u_n} \right\rangle} \ &= {\left\langle {x},~{u_n} \right\rangle}
\sum_^\infty {\left\langle {x},~{u_k} \right\rangle} {\left\langle {u_k },~{u_n} \right\rangle} \ &= {\left\langle {x},~{u_n} \right\rangle} - {\left\langle {x},~{u_n} \right\rangle} = 0 \ \implies x - \sum_^\infty {\left\langle {x},~{u_k} \right\rangle}u_k &= 0 \quad\text{by completeness} .\end{align*} `{=html}
So \begin{align*} x = \sum_{k=1}^\infty {\left\langle {x},~{u_k} \right\rangle} u_k \implies {\left\lVert {x} \right\rVert}^2 = \sum_{k=1}^\infty {\left\lvert {{\left\langle {x},~{u_k} \right\rangle}} \right\rvert}^2. \hfill\blacksquare .\end{align*}

-
Prove Holder’s inequality: let \(f\in L^p, g\in L^q\) with \(p, q\) conjugate, and show that \begin{align*} {\left\lVert {fg} \right\rVert}_{p} \leq {\left\lVert {f} \right\rVert}_{p} \cdot {\left\lVert {g} \right\rVert}_{q} .\end{align*}
-
Prove Minkowski’s Inequality: \begin{align*} 1\leq p < \infty \implies {\left\lVert {f+g} \right\rVert}_{p} \leq {\left\lVert {f} \right\rVert}_{p}+ {\left\lVert {g} \right\rVert}_{p} .\end{align*} Conclude that if \(f, g\in L^p({\mathbf{R}}^n)\) then so is \(f+g\).

-
\begin{align*} \int f^p &= \int_{x < 1} f^p + \int_{x=1}f^p + \int_{x > 1} f^p\\ &= \int_{x < 1} f^p + \int_{x=1}1 + \int_{x > 1} f^p \\ &= \int_{x < 1} f^p + m(\left\{{f = 1}\right\}) + \int_{x > 1} f^p \\ &\overset{p\to\infty}\to 0 + m(\left\{{f = 1}\right\}) + \begin{cases} 0 & m(\left\{{x\geq 1}\right\}) = 0 \\ \infty & m(\left\{{x\geq 1}\right\}) > 0. \end{cases} \end{align*}
