    MAT 216 Sample Problems

    1) Show that the there exists an injective map from the unit cube (0, 1)3 into the unit
    segment (0, 1). Is there a bijection between these two sets?

    2) Consider the norm on R2 given by kxk1 = |x1 | + |x2 |. Prove or disprove the following
    statement: there exists an inner product h·, ·i : R2 p
    × R2 → R which makes the vector space
    2
    R into an inner product space, such that kxk1 = hx, xi.

    3) Let d2 (A, B) be the Euclidean distance on the space of real-valued n × n matrices. Show
    that if the sequence of matrices {An }n≥1 ⊂ Rn×n is Cauchy, then the sequence of their
    determinants {det(An )}n≥1 is Cauchy in R.

    4) Show that if T : V → V is a linear mapping, where V is a finite-dimensional vector space,


    there exists an integer n for which im(T n ) ∩ ker(T n ) = 0.

    5) In a topological space (S, T ), what is the boundary of a set which is both open and
    closed? For S = [0, 1] with the topology induced by the absolute value metric, is there a set
    C whose boundary ∂C is uncountable?

    6) Show that if {∆ ¯ n }n≥1 are a nested sequence of closed cells in Rd , i.e. with ∆
    ¯ n+1 ⊆ ∆
    ¯ n,
    ¯
    such that their diameters en = diam(∆n ) vanish as n → ∞, then the their intersection
    ¯ n consists of a single point in Rd .
    ∩n≥1 ∆

    7) Let α > 0, and consider the power series


    X α(α − 1) . . . (α − n + 1)
    xn .
    n≥0
    n!

    Show that this power series converges absolutely for all x ∈ [−1, 1]. Is the resulting function
    continuous on [−1, 1]?

    8) Consider the space of absolutely summable real sequences


    ( )
    X
    `1 (R) = {an }n≥1 : an ∈ R, k{an }k1 := |an | < ∞ .
    n≥1

    Show that this is a complete metric space with respect to the P distance induced by the norm
    k · k1 , i.e. with respect to d1 ({an }, {bn }) = k{an − bn }k1 = n≥1 |an − bn |.
