Folland: Real Analysis, Chapter 8 ebastien Picard Problem 8.3 Let η(t)= e 1/t for t> 0, η(t)=0 for t 0. a. For k N and t> 0, η (k) (t)= P k (1/t)e 1/t where P k is a polynomial of degree 2k. b. η (k) (0) exists and equals zero for all k N. Solution: (a) It is clear that for t> 0 all derivatives η (k) (t) exist and can by computed by the usual rules of calculus. We proceed by induction. First, notice η (1) (t)= d dt e 1/t = 1 t 2 e 1/t = P 1 (1/t)e 1/t , where P 1 = x 2 is a polynomial of degree 2. Suppose η (k) (t)= P k (1/t)e 1/t for some k, where P k is a polynomial of degree 2k. Then η (k+1) (t)= d dt P k (1/t) e 1/t + P k (1/t) t 2 e 1/t = 1 t 2 P k (1/t) 1 t 2 P k (1/t) e 1/t . This yields η (k+1) (t)= P k+1 (1/t)e 1/t where P k+1 = x 2 P k x 2 P k . Since P k is a polynomial of degree 2k, x 2 P k has highest order coefficient of degree 2k + 2. On the other hand, P k is a polynomial of degree less than or equal to 2k 1; therefore x 2 P k has degree less than or equal to 2k + 1. It follows that P k+1 = x 2 P k x 2 P k is a polynomial of degree 2(k + 1). The proof follows by induction. (b) We proceed again by induction. First, we compute lim t0 + η(t) η(0) t = lim t0 + e 1/t t = lim s→∞ se s =0. The left-handed limit is easy since η(t) 0 when t 0: lim t0 - η(t) η(0) t =0. Therefore, η (0) exists and is equal to zero. Suppose η (k) (0) exists and equals zero. We compute η (k+1) (0). Since η(t) 0 for t 0, we have η (m) (t) = 0 for all t< 0 and all m N. By induction hypothesis, η (k) (0) = 0. Therefore we have the following left-handed limit: 1

Problem 8.3Let η(t) = e−1/t for t > 0, η(t) = 0 for t ≤ 0.

a. For k ∈ N and t > 0, η(k)(t) = Pk(1/t)e−1/t where Pk is a polynomial of degree 2k.

b. η(k)(0) exists and equals zero for all k ∈ N.

Solution:(a) It is clear that for t > 0 all derivatives η(k)(t) exist and can by computed by the usual rules ofcalculus. We proceed by induction. First, notice

η(1)(t) =d

dte−1/t =

1

t2e−1/t = P1(1/t)e

−1/t,

where P1 = x2 is a polynomial of degree 2.

Suppose η(k)(t) = Pk(1/t)e−1/t for some k, where Pk is a polynomial of degree 2k. Then

η(k+1)(t) =

(

d

dtPk(1/t)

)

e−1/t +Pk(1/t)

t2e−1/t =

(

1

t2Pk(1/t)−

1

t2P ′k(1/t)

)

e−1/t.

This yields η(k+1)(t) = Pk+1(1/t)e−1/t where

Pk+1 = x2Pk − x2P ′k.

Since Pk is a polynomial of degree 2k, x2Pk has highest order coefficient of degree 2k + 2. On theother hand, P ′

k is a polynomial of degree less than or equal to 2k − 1; therefore x2P ′k has degree less

than or equal to 2k + 1. It follows that Pk+1 = x2Pk − x2P ′k is a polynomial of degree 2(k + 1). The

proof follows by induction.

(b) We proceed again by induction. First, we compute

limt→0+

η(t)− η(0)

t= lim

t→0+

e−1/t

t= lim

s→∞se−s = 0.

The left-handed limit is easy since η(t) ≡ 0 when t ≤ 0:

limt→0−

η(t)− η(0)

t= 0.

Therefore, η′(0) exists and is equal to zero.

Suppose η(k)(0) exists and equals zero. We compute η(k+1)(0). Since η(t) ≡ 0 for t ≤ 0, wehave η(m)(t) = 0 for all t < 0 and all m ∈ N. By induction hypothesis, η(k)(0) = 0. Therefore we havethe following left-handed limit:

1

limt→0−

η(k)(t)− η(k)(0)

t= 0.

On the other hand, we can use (a) and the fact that e−x decays faster than any polynomial tocompute the following right-handed limit:

limt→0+

η(k)(t)− η(k)(0)

t= lim

t→0+

Pk(1/t)e−1/t

t= lim

s→∞sPk(s)e

−s = 0.

This shows that η(n+1)(0) = 0. By induction, η(k)(0) exists and equals zero for all k ∈ N.

Problem 8.4If f ∈ L∞ and ||τyf − f ||∞ → 0 as y → 0, then f agrees a.e. with a uniformly continuous function.(Let Arf be as in Theorem 3.18. Then Arf is uniformly continuous for r > 0 and uniformly Cauchyas r → 0.)

Solution:Define Arf as in Theorem 3.18:

Arf(x) =1

m(B(r, x))

B(r,x)

f(z)dz.

The first step is to show that for r > 0, Arf is uniformly continuous. Choose δ > 0 such that forall c ∈ R

n such that |c| < δ, we have ||τcf − f ||∞ < ǫ. Then when |x− y| < δ, we have

|Arf(x)− Arf(y)| =1

m(B(r, x))

< ǫ.

Next, we show that Arf is uniformly Cauchy. Choose δ > 0 such that ||τcf − f ||∞ < ǫ/2 when|c| < δ. Then for all r, s > 0 such that r < δ, s < δ, for any x we have

2

|Arf(x)−Asf(x)| ≤ |Arf(x)− f(x)|+ |Asf(x)− f(x)|

=1

m(B(r, x))

|τz−xf(z)− f(z)|dz +1

m(B(s, x))

Bs(x)

|τz−xf(z)− f(z)|dz

< ǫ/2 + ǫ/2 = ǫ.

Taking the supremum over all points x, we see that Arf is uniformly Cauchy.

At each point x, {Arf(x)} is Cauchy, so we can define f(x) = limr→0Arf(x). We show Arfconverges to f as r → 0 in the uniform norm. Select δ > 0 such that ||As1f − As2f ||u < ǫ for all0 < s1 < δ, 0 < s2 < δ. Then if 0 < r < δ, for each point x we have

|Arf(x)− f(x)| = lims→0

|Arf(x)− Asf(x)| ≤ lims→0

||Arf −Asf ||u < ǫ.

We now show that f is uniformly continuous. Select r > 0 such that ||Arf − f ||u < ǫ/3 and δ > 0such that |Arf(x)− Arf(y)| < ǫ/3 when |x− y| < δ. Then for any points such that |x− y| < δ,

|f(x)− f(y)| ≤ |f(x)−Arf(x)|+ |Arf(x)− Arf(y)|+ |Arf(y)− f(y)|

≤ ||f − Arf ||u + |Arf(x)− Arf(y)|+ ||Arf − f ||u

< ǫ/3 + ǫ/3 + ǫ/3 = ǫ.

By Theorem 3.18, Arf → f as r → 0 pointwise a.e. By unicity of the limit, we must have f = fa.e.

Problem 8.8Suppose that f ∈ LP (R). If there exists h ∈ Lp(R) such that

limy→0

||y−1(τ−yf − f)− h||p = 0,

we call h the (strong) Lp derivative of f . If f ∈ Lp(Rn), Lp partial derivatives of f are definedsimilarly. Suppose that p and q are conjugate exponents, f ∈ Lp, g ∈ Lq, and the Lp derivative ∂jfexists. Then ∂j(f ∗ g) exists (in the ordinary sense) and equals (∂jf) ∗ g.

Solution:First, we denote g(x) = g(−x). After a change of variables, we see that ||g||q = ||g||q. Denote the

Lp derivative of f as h ∈ Lp.

Then at any point x ∈ Rn, we have

Problem 8.14 (Wirtinger’s Inequality)If f ∈ C1([a, b]) and f(a) = f(b) = 0, then

∫ b

a

|f(x)|2dx ≤

(

)2 ∫ b

|f ′(x)|2dx.

(By a change of variable it suffices to assume a = 0, b = 1/2. Extend f to [−1/2, 1/2] by settingf(−x) = −f(x), and then extend f to be periodic on R. Check that f , thus extended, is in C1(T) andapply Parseval identity.)

Solution:The first step is to show that, without loss of generality, we can assume that a = 0, b = 1/2.

Suppose the inequality holds for this specific case. Then via the change of variables x = 2(b−a)z+a,we obtain

∫ b

a

|f(x)|2dx = 2(b− a)

∫ 1/2

|f ′(x)|2dx.

Next, we extend f to [−1/2, 1/2] by setting f(−x) = −f(x), and then extend f to be periodicon R in the obvious way. To check that f ∈ C1(T), it suffices to verify that f is differentiable andits derivative is continuous at 0; all other points of the form n/2, n ∈ Z are done similarly. By thedefinition of C1([0, 1/2]) given in Exercise 5.9, f has a one-sided derivative at the endpoint 0:

limt→0+

f(t)− f(0)

t= c.

4

The left-handed derivative can be computed using the symmetry of f :

limt→0−

f(t)− f(0)

t= lim

t→0+

f(−t)

−t= lim

t→0+

−(f(t)− f(0))

−t= c.

Hence f ′(0) exists and is equal to c. Next, we show that f ′(x) = f ′(−x). Indeed, d/dx(f(−x)) =−d/dx(f(x)) = −f ′(x), and on the other hand by the chain rule,

d

dx(f(−x)) = f ′(−x) · (−1).

Cancelling (−1) from both sides yields the result. We now show that the derivative is continuousat zero. Since f ∈ C1([0, 1/2]),

limt→0+

f ′(t) = c.

On the other hand,

limt→0−

f ′(t) = limt→0+

f ′(−t) = limt→0+

f ′(t) = c.

This completes the proof that f ∈ C1(T).

Now that we have reduced the problem to an easier case, we prove Wirtinger’s inequality. UsingParseval’s identity and integration by parts, we compute

Problem 8.16Let fk = χ[−1,1] ∗ χ[−k,k].

a. Compute fk(x) explicitly and show that ||f ||u = 2.b. f∨

k (x) = (πx)−2 sin 2πkx sin 2πx, and ||f∨k ||1 → ∞ as k → ∞. (Use Exercise 15a, and substitute

y = 2πkx in the integral defining ||f∨k ||1.)

c. F(L1) is a proper subset of C0. (Consider gk = f∨k and use the open mapping theorem.)

Solution:(a) By definition of convolution, we have

fk(x) =

∫ k

−k

χ[−1,1](x− y)dy.

For k > 0, k ∈ N, unravelling the definitions yields

fk(x) =

2 if −(k − 1) ≤ x ≤ k − 1,0 if x ≤ −(k + 1), or x ≥ k + 1,(1 + k)− x if k − 1 ≤ x ≤ k + 1,(1 + k) + x if −(k + 1) ≤ x ≤ −(k − 1).

We see that fk ∈ C0, and ||fk||u = 2.

(b) We use Exercise 15a to compute

(fk)∨(x) = (χ[−1,1] ∗ χ[−k,k])

∨ = (χ[−1,1])∨ (χ[−k,k])

∨ =1

(πx)2sin 2πkx sin 2πx.

By substituting y = 2πkx, we then obtain

We know that for any y 6= 0,

Also, for any B > 0, we have

sin y

This leads to the conclusion that for all B > 0, we have

||f∨k ||1 ≥

dy.

However, as shown in Exercise 2.59a (which was on last semester’s final exam), we know that∫∞

0|y−1 sin y|dy = ∞. Hence the right hand side can be made arbitrarily large, and ||f∨

k ||1 → ∞ ask → ∞.

(c) Suppose F : L1 → C0 is onto. By Corollary 8.27, we conclude that F : L1 → C0 is there-fore a bijection. By the Open Mapping Theorem, F−1 : C0 → L1 is a bounded linear operator. Inother words, there exists a C > 0 such that for all f ∈ C0, we have

||f∨||1 ≤ C||f ||u.

However, ||fk||u = 2 for all positive integers k, but ||f∨k ||1 can be made arbitrarily large as k → ∞.

This contradiction establishes that F(L1) is a proper subset of C0.

Problem 8.26The aim of this exercise is to show that the inverse Fourier transform of e−2π|ξ| on R

n is

φ(x) =Γ(1

2(n+ 1))

π(n+1)/2(1 + |x|2)−(n+1)/2.

a. If β ≥ 0, e−β = π−1∫∞

−∞(1 + t2)−1e−iβtdt. (Use (8.37).)

b. If β ≥ 0, e−β =∫∞

0(πs)−1/2e−se−β2/4sds. (Use (a), Proposition 8.24, and the formula

(1 + t2)−1 =∫∞

0e−(1+t2)sds.

c. Let β = 2π|ξ| where ξ ∈ Rn; then the formula in (b) expresses e−2π|ξ| as a superposition of

dilated Gauss kernels. Use Proposition 8.24 again to derive the asserted formula for φ.

Solution:(a) By (8.37), we have

e−2π|ξ| = F

Problem 8.35The purpose of this exercise is to show that the Fourier series of “most” continuous functions on T

do not converge pointwise.a. Define φm(f) = Smf(0). Then φ ∈ C(T)∗ and ||φ|| = ||Dm||1.

10

b. The set of all f ∈ C(T) such that the sequence {Smf(0)} converges is meager in C(T). (UseExercise 34 and the uniform boundedness principle.)

c. There exists f ∈ C(T) (in fact, a residual set of such f ’s) such that {Smf(x)} diverges forevery x in a dense subset of T. (The result of (b) holds if the point 0 is replaced by any other pointin T. Apply Exercise 40 in §5.3.

Solution:

(a) We have

φm(f) = Smf(0) =

T

f(y)Dm(y)dy.

By linearity of the integral, φm acts linearly on C(T), and

|φm(f)| ≤

T

|f | |Dm|dy ≤ ||f ||u ||Dm||1.

Therefore, φm ∈ C(T)∗. To show ||φ|| = ||Dm||1, we apply the Riesz Representation Theoremfor Radon measures. Indeed, since Lebesgue measure is a Radon measure and Dm ∈ L1, we knowdµ = Dmdy is a Radon measure. Hence we can rewrite

φm(f) =

T

fdµ.

By definition, d|µ| = |Dm|dy, hence by the Riesz Representation Theorem (7.17):

||φm|| = ||µ|| = |µ|(T) =

T

|Dm|dy = ||Dm||1.

(b) Proceed by contradiction. Suppose the set of all f ∈ C(T) such that the sequence {φm(f)} con-verges is nonmeager in C(T). Then supm |φm(f)| < ∞ for all f in some nonmeager subset of C(T). Bythe uniform boundedness principle, supm ||φm|| < ∞. However, by Exercise 34, ||φm|| = ||Dm||1 → ∞as m → ∞. This is a contradiction, and hence the set of all f ∈ C(T) such that the sequence {φm(f)}converges is meager in C(T).

(c) Enumerate the rational {rk} inside (0, 1). This yields a countable dense subset of T ≃ R/Z.Define

Tjk(f) = Sjf(rk).

Then

Tjk(f) =

T

f(y)Dj(rk − y)dy =

T

f(y)τ−rkDj(−y)dy.

Denote Dj(−y) = Dj. We can repeat the same analysis done in (a) and obtain Tjk ∈ C(T)∗ and

11

||Tjk|| = ||τ−rkDj||1 = ||Dj||1

.By the same argument of part (b), we conclude that for all rk, the set of all f ∈ C(T) such that

supj |Tjkf | < ∞ is meager in C(T).

We now apply the principle of condensation of singularities (Exercise 5.40). We have shown thatfor each k there exists a f ∈ C(T) (indeed, a residual set of f ’s) such that sup{|Tjkf | : j ∈ N} = ∞.By the principle of condensation of singularities, there is a residual set of f ’s in C(T) such thatsup{|Tjkf | : j ∈ N} = ∞ for all k. Hence we obtain we a residual set of f ∈ C(T) such that{Smf(rk)} diverges for each rk.
