Answer all questions.

 

01.(a)   Show that every vector space has a Hamel basis.

(OR)

Prove that a subset S of a vector space X is linearly independent Û for every
subset {x₁, x₂, …, x_n­} of S,  åa_ix_i = 0 Þ a_i = 0, for all  i.                  (5)

(b)(i)  Show that every element of X/Y contains exactly one element of z, where Y
and z are complementary subspaces of X.

(ii)  If Z is a subspace of a vector space X of deficiency 0 or 1, show that there is
an f Î X^* such Z = Z(f).                                                                 (7 + 8)

(OR)

(iii) Let X be a real vector space.  Let Y be a subspace of X and p be a real
valued function on X such that p(x) ³ 0, p(x + y) = p(x) + p(y) and
p(ax) = a(Px) for a ³ 0.  If f is a linear functional on Y such that
£ p(x) for every  x Î Y, show that there is a linear functional F on X
such that F(x) = f(x) on Y and  £ p(x) on X.                         (15)

 

 

2. (a) State and prove F-Riesz Lemma.

(OR)

Let X and Y be normed linear spaces and let T be a linear transformation
of X into Y.  Prove that T is bounded if and only if T is continuous.  (5)

(b)  State and prove the Hahn Banach Theorem for a complex normed linear
space.

(OR)

Let X and Y be normed linear spaces and let B(X,Y) denote the set of all
bounded linear transformations from X into Y.  Show that B(X, Y) is a
normed linear space and B(X, Y) is a Banach space, if Y is a Banach space.

3. (a) State and prove Riesz Representation Theorem.

(OR)

Prove that a real Banach space is a Hilbert space iff the parallelogram law
holds in it.                                                                                             (5)

(b) State and prove the Projection Theorem.

(OR)

If X and Y are Banach spaces and if T is a continuous linear transformation
of  X onto Y, then prove that T is an open mapping.                            (15)

 

4. (a) State and prove Bessel’s inequality.

(OR)

If T is an operator on a Hilbert space X, show that T is a normal Û its real
and imaginary parts commute.                                                          (5)

(b)(i) If T is an operator in a Hilbert space X, then show that

(Tx, x) = 0  Þ T = 0.

(ii)  If N₁ and N₂ are normal operators on a Hilbert space X with the property
that either commute with adjoint of the other, prove that N₁ + N₂ and N₁N₂
are normal.                                                                                     (7 + 8)

(OR)

(iii) State and prove Riesz-Fischer Theorem.                                        (15)
