Marks
[9] 1. Define (a) uniform convergence of a sequence of functions (b) an algebra of functions that vanishes nowhere (c) an atlas and a maximal atlas
[16] 2. Give an example of each of the following, together with a brief explanation of your example. If an example does not exist, explain why not. (a) a function f : [0, 1] → IR which is Riemann integrable on [0, 1] but for which the function F : [0, 1] → IR defined by F (x) = ∫^0 x f (t) dt is not Riemann integrable on [0, 1] (b) a sequence of functions that converges to zero pointwise on [0, 1] and uniformly on [ε, 1 −ε] for every ε > 0, but does not converge uniformly on [0, 1] (c) a Fourier series (^) n=∑∞−∞ cneinx^ that does not converge in the mean (d) two charts for (− 1 , 1) (with the usual metric) that are not compatible
[15] 3. Let α, f, g : [a, b] → IR with α an increasing function. (a) Prove that ∫¯ (^) b a^ (f^ +^ g)^ dα^ ≤^
∫¯ (^) b a^ f dα^ +^
∫¯ (^) b a^ g dα (b) Either prove that ∫¯ (^) b a^ (f^ +^ g)^ dα^ =^
∫¯ (^) b a^ f dα^ +^
∫¯ (^) b a^ g dα or provide a counterexample.
[15] 5. Let {fn^ } n∈IN be a uniformly convergent sequence of continuous real–valued functions defined on a metric space M and let g be a continuous function on IR. Define, for each n ∈ IN, hn(x) = g(fn(x)). (a) Let M = [0, 1]. Prove that the sequence {hn^ } n∈IN converges uniformly on [0, 1]. (b) Let M = IR. Either prove that the sequence {hn^ } n∈IN converges uniformly on IR or provide a counterexample.
[15] 7. Let α > 0. A function f : IR → IR is said to be H¨older continuous of exponent α if the quantity
‖f ‖α = sup x 6 =y^ |f^ ( |xx)−−yf|^ α(y)| is finite. Let {fn^ } n∈IN be a sequence of H¨older continuous real valued functions on IR that obey supx∈IR |fn(x)| ≤ 1 and ‖fn‖α ≤ 1 for all n ∈ IN. Prove that there is a continuous function f : IR → IR and a subsequence of {fn^ } n∈IN that converges pointwise to f and that furthermore converges uniformly to f on [−M, M ] for every M > 0.
