Homework 5 for Math 554: Normed Linear Spaces - Prof. Eduard-Wilhelm Kirr, Assignments of Linear Algebra

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 โ€–Lโˆ—โ€– = โ€–Lโ€–.

Problem II If A : X 7 โ†’ X is linear and compact then yโˆ—^ โˆˆ Range(Aโˆ—^ โˆ’ Id) implies ker(A โˆ’ Id) โІ ker yโˆ—. (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 yโˆ—^ โˆˆ Range(Aโˆ—^ โˆ’ Id) is equivalent to ker(A โˆ’ Id) โІ ker yโˆ—.

Problem IV Assume A : X 7 โ†’ X is linear and compact. Show that the equations:

Ax โˆ’ x = y, y โˆˆ X (1) Aโˆ—xโˆ—^ โˆ’ xโˆ—^ = yโˆ—, yโˆ—^ โˆˆ Xโˆ—, (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 yโˆ—^ are equivalent with the solv- ability of (1) respectively of (2).
