Practice Homework No. 1 (vector spaces, normed vector spaces, inner product spaces)
Practice Homework No. 2 (best approximation and orthogonal projections, convergence in norm, orthonormal systems)
Practice Homework on Orthogonal Polynomials
Practice Homework on Fourier Series
Practice Homework on Fourier Transform
Practice Homework on Distributions
The first midterm will take place on Friday, 30.11.2012.
Material for the test: vector spaces, normed vector spaces, inner product spaces, best approximation and orthogonal projections, finite orthonormal systems, convergence in norm, infinite orthonormal systems, orthogonal polynomials.
Notice: the Haar system and Weierstrass' theorem on uniform approximation by polynomials on a finite interval are not
included.
Relevant Practice Homeworks: No. 1, No. 2 (except for Problem 10), and the Practice Homework on Orthogonal Polynomials.
In the Practice Homework on Orthogonal Polynomials, you should concentrate especially on Problems 1.3, 2.5, 2.6, 3.4,
4.1, 4.2, 4.6, and 5; for your convenience, a summary of orthogonal polynomials has been posted below.
Duration 1.5 hours (1 hour and 30 minutes).
There will be no aids (khomer ezer) for the test. You should remember the basic formulae from calculus as well
as the basic trigonometric formulae. You should also remember the basic formulae relating to orthogonal projections
and orthonormal systems. There is no need to memorize the various formulae related to specific orthogonal polynomials
(Legendre, Chebyshev, Hermite); if any of these will be required for the test, the relevant formulae will
be reminded in the questionnaire.
The second midterm will take place on Friday, 11.01.2013.
Material for the test: the Haar system, Weierstrass' theorem on uniform approximation by polynomials on a finite interval
and approximate identities,
and all of the material on Fourier series;
the material of the first midterm test is not specifically targeted, but it may appear as well.
Relevant Practice Homeworks: No. 2 (Problem 10) and the Practice Homework on Fourier Series,
as well as No. 1, (all of) No. 2, and the Practice Homework on Orthogonal Polynomials.

Notice: there is a mistake in Problem 3; the correction is as follows:
solve the equation - find the function or show that
there is no solution.

Solution of Problem 5 - correction: the solution as written breaks down for
omega = 0. Since f(x) is an odd function, it is immediate that
hat f(0) = int_{-infinity}^{+infinity} f(x) dx = 0.
(Alternatively, one can calculate hat f(0) as lim_{omega to 0} hat f(omega),
using the fact that the Fourier transform of an integrable function is
a continuous function.)

Homework Assignment No. 3, Fall 2008/2009, with
Partial Solution
(CORRECTIONS:
Problem 5:
in the definition of r_n(x) there should be x rather than t;
the definition of w_n(x) should be
r_{l+1}(x)^{epsilon_l} ... r_1(x)^{epsilon_0}.
Problem 7.2:
compute only the summation of 1/n^6 (ignore the summation of 1/n^5,
and the hint).
COMMENTS:
Problem 3.3: a CLOSED vector subspace (or in general, a closed subset) is one
which is equal to its closure;
this has nothing to do with the notion of a closed orthonormal system.
Problem 6.1: b is the IMAGINARY PART of the complex number w.
FOR THE SOLUTIONS:
Problems 9.3 and 10 are not included. In Problems 5.1 and 5.3
some details that have to be included are skipped. In Problems 6.2 and
7.2, the calculations are not carried through till the end.)
