Four problems related to normed spaces, linear and compact operators, adjoint operators, and the fredholm alternative. The problems require understanding of functional analysis, specifically the properties of normed spaces, compact operators, and the adjoint operator. The fourth problem also involves the fredholm alternative and the solvability of certain equations.

Unless otherwise stated, in what follows X and Y will be normed spaces over the same K = R, or C.
Problem I If L : X 7 โ Y is linear and continuous then the adjoint operator is continuous and โLโโ = โLโ.
Problem II If A : X 7 โ X is linear and compact then yโ^ โ Range(Aโ^ โ Id) implies ker(A โ Id) โ ker yโ. (This is the necessity part of Lemma 2).
Problem III Assume X is a reflexive Banach space and A : X 7 โ X is linear and compact. Show directly, using Fredholm alternative, that yโ^ โ Range(Aโ^ โ Id) is equivalent to ker(A โ Id) โ ker yโ.
Problem IV Assume A : X 7 โ X is linear and compact. Show that the equations:
Ax โ x = y, y โ X (1) Aโxโ^ โ xโ^ = yโ, yโ^ โ Xโ, (2)
are either both uniquely solvable or, if they are solvable they have the same number of (finitely many) independent solutions. In the latter case what condition on y respectively yโ^ are equivalent with the solv- ability of (1) respectively of (2).
