JRF Mathematics Examination RMI: K nk+1 NK

1. The document contains 11 mathematics problems related to analysis, topology, and differential equations. Students are instructed to solve any 6 problems. The problems cover topics such as continuous functions on topological spaces, sequences, complex analysis, and metric spaces. 2. Some examples of problems include showing a subsequence of a sequence of non-zero real numbers converges to 0, 1, or infinity, and proving properties of analytic functions on open sets in the complex plane. Another problem involves showing a solution to a differential equation is equal to zero for all natural numbers. 3. The problems test a variety of mathematical concepts and skills ranging from real, complex, and functional analysis to topology and differential equations. Solutions would require applying core definitions

Solve any six questions.

1. Suppose that X is a Hausdorff space and : [0, 1] X is a continuous


function. If is one-one, then prove that the image of is homeomor-
phic to [0, 1]. Give an example where is not one-one but the image
of is homeomorphic to [0, 1].

2. Prove that the following collection of subsets defines a topology on the


set of natural numbers N :
