Problem 1: [27 Marks]
1-1. Let X =/=0. Give the definition of the following concepts:
1-1-1. A a-algebra on X and a a-algebra generated by a family C of subsets of X.
[3+2]
1-1-2. A Borel a-algebra on X.
[3]
1-1-3. A measurable space on X.
[1]
1-1-4. A measure on X.
[3]
1-1-5. A measure space on X.
[1]
1-2. Let EC JRa non-empty set. Show that F = {0,E, Ee, JR}is the a-algebra of subsets of JRgenerated
by {E}.
[9]
1-3. Let X = {l, 2, 3, 4} and consider C = { {1}, {2, 3}} C P(X). Determine a(C) the a-algebra generated
~c.
Problem 2: [35 Marks]
Let (X, 11· 11)be a normed space.
2-1. Assume that X is a Banach space.
Show that any absolutely summable series is summable.
[6]
2-2. Now we assume that X is a normed space in which any absolutely summable series is summable.
2-2-1. Let {xn} be a Cauchy sequence in X. Show that if {xn} has a convergent subsequence {xnk}, {xn}
converges to the same limit.
[6]
2-2-2. Show that we can construct a subsequence {x'f'(n)}such that
[6]

and show that
[6]
n
X'f'(n)= I)x'f'(k) - X'f'(k-1))+ X'f'(O),for any n 2: l.
k=l
2-2-3. Deduce from question 2-2-2 that the sequence {X<p(n)c}onverges.
[6]
2-2-4. Conclude that {xn} converges and therefore Xis a Banach space.
[3]
2-3. What is the general rule that you can establish from the main results obtained above.
[2]
Problem 3: [38 Marks]
3-1. Consider (X, II· lloo,i),where X = C1[0, 1] and llflloo,1= sup lf(x)I + sup IJ'(x)I and also consider
xE[O,l]
xE[O,l]
(Y, II· lloo),where Y = C[0, 1].
3-1-1. Show that T = d~: X--+ Y is a bounded linear operator.
[7]
3-1-2. Show that T = ddx: D(T) £; Y--+ Y is an unbounded linear operator, where D(T) = C1[0, 1]. [10]
(Hint: use un(x) = sin(mrx)).
