    Math 4310 Homework 10 - Due April 25

    Problem 1. (a) Let P2 (R) be the space of polynomials of degree 2 over R, with the usual inner product
    R1
    hp, qi = 1 p(x)q(x)dx. Let D : P2 (R) P2 (R) be the differentiation operator, D(p) = dp/dx. Compute
    the adjoint D with respect to this inner product.
    (b) Consider the 2 2 real matrix  
    4 1
    A= .
    6 1
    This is not symmetric, so T : R2 R2 given by T (v) = Av is not self-adjoint for the inner product space
    (R2 , ) for the standard dot product. Find an inner product h , i on R2 such that this T is actually self-
    adjoint for (R2 , h , i).
    (c) Give an example of a linear transformation T : R2 R2 that you can prove is never self-adjoint for any
    inner product on R2 .

    Problem 2. (a) Diagonalize the symmetric matrix


     
    5/2 3/2
    A=
    3/2 5/2

    and write down an orthonormal basis with respect to which A is diagonal. (This should give you an orthogonal
    matrix P and a diagonal matrix D such that A = P DP 1 = P DP > ).
    (b) Write down a singular value decomposition for the matrix

    1/2
    3/2

    B = 3/ 6 1/ 6 ,
    3/ 12 1/ 12

    i.e. write B = U V > for U, V orthogonal matrices and having the singular values on the diagonal. (Part
    (a) should help with your computation!)

    Problem 3. Suppose V is a finite-dimensional inner product space, T : V V is a self-adjoint linear


    transformation, and q : V R the associated quadratic form given by q(v) = hv, T (v)i.
    (a) Prove that for any v, w V we have
    1 
    hv, T (w)i = q(v + w) q(v) q(w) .
    2
    (b) Prove that if T 0 : V V is another self-adjoint linear transformation and q 0 : V R is the quadratic
    form q 0 (v) = hv, T 0 (v)i, then if q = q 0 as functions V R we must have T = T 0 as linear transformations
    V V.

    Problem 4. Let A = (aij ) Mn (R) be an n n matrix, and let s1 , . . . , sn be its singular values. Show
    that
    Xn n
    X
    a2ij = s2i .
    i,j=1 i=1

    (Hint: try proving this equality as an equality of traces of matrices.)

    Problem 5. Let A Mn (R) be a matrixPsuch that the diagonal entries aii are positive, the off-diagonal
    n
    entries aij are negative, and the row sums j=1 aij are positive. Prove that A is invertible. (Hint: If there
    is a nonzero vector x with Ax = 0, it has a coordinate largest in magnitude...)

    1
    Problem 6. So far, weve only discussed the spectral theorem for real inner product spaces. In a previous
    homework we discussed complex inner product spaces; a complex inner product was a sesquilinear, Hermitian,
    and positive-definite. The definition of a self-adjoint operator for a complex inner product space V is the
    same - one that satisfies hx, T (y)i = hT (x), yi for every x, y V .
    (a) Recall the standard inner product on Cn is given by hz, wi =
    P
    zi wi . Prove that a matrix A Mn (C)
    is determines a self-adjoint linear transformation with respect to this inner product exactly when A = A ,
    where A is the conjugate transpose (i.e. the matrix we get by taking the complex conjugates of each entries
    and transposing them).
    (b) Prove that if T : V V is a self-adjoint operator on a complex inner product space, and is an
    eigenvalue of T , then must actually be a real number.
