Discuss compactness of the set of $L^2$ bounded functions

$begingroup$



Discuss weak and strong compactness of the following subsets of $L^2(0,1)$:



$A={uin L^2(0,1):||u||_{L^2}le1}.$




I know some theorems which might be helpful, but I don't know if I applied them correctly.



The set $A$ is a closed unit ball of the Banach space $L^2(0,1)$, which is an infinite dimensional normed space, so by Riesz theorem $A$ is not strongly compact. Moreover, since $L^2(0,1)$ is reflexive, by Banach-Alaoglu theorem its closed unit ball $A$ is weakly compact.



Is this correct?

    Well, in this case $n=1$. You will also need the Poincaré's inequality to control the $L^2$ norm in terms of the $L^2$ norm of the derivative.

    Riesz' lemma does the job, but for Hilbert spaces it's even simpler. Just take any orthonormal sequence $(e_n)$. Since $| e_n-e_m|=1$ for $nneq m$, it can't have a convergent subsequence.

    You can, although I don't like it that much. An orthonormal basis incuces an isomorphism $L^2(0,1)toell^2$. On bounded subsets of $ell^2$, weak convergence is equivalent to pointwise convergence (since finitely supported sequences are dense in $ell^2$). To extract a pointwise convergent subsequence is elementary, just apply the usual diagonal argument.

$begingroup$

Concerning point A, you solved it correctly via "abstract nonsense". However, I think that it is always better to use concrete examples when possible.



In this case, a concrete example of a sequence contained in $A$ that has no converging subsequences is
$$
f_n(x)=sqrt n f(nx), $$
where $f$ is any nonzero element of $A$.




Here I omitted an important piece of information.
The function $f$ is defined on $[0, 1]$, but we implicitly consider that $$f(x)=0,qquad text{if }xnotin [0,1].$$
In particular, for all $xne 0$, it holds that $nx>1$ for all sufficiently large $n$, and so $f(nx)=0$ eventually. Therefore
$$
lim_{nto infty} f_n(x)= 0,$$
and so $f_nto 0$ pointwise almost everywhere.




Now the change of variable formula for integrals yields $$tag{1}|f_n|_{L^2}=|f|_{L^2},qquad forall nge 1;$$
so $f_nin A$ for all $n$. Now suppose for a contradiction that there exists $gin L^2$ and a subsequence $f_{k_n}$ such that $$|f_{k(n)}-g|_{L^2}to 0.$$
By (1), it must be that $|g|_{L^2}=|f|_{L^2}ne 0$; thus, $$gne 0.$$ However, any sequence that converges in $L^2$ has a subsequence that converges pointwise almost everywhere, so there exists a sub-sub-sequence $f_{k(h(n))}$ such that
$$
f_{k(h(n))}to g,qquad text{almost everywhere.}$$
And this is a contradiction, for $f_{k(h(n))}to 0$ almost everywhere by the remark in the colored box, and so it would imply that $g=0$.

    I wrote it. If the argument of $f$ is outside $[0, 1]$ then $f$ vanishes.

@soundwave: That contradicts the very definition of compactness.

@soundwave: I really think you should try harder; these are questions with an immediate answer. Think about equation (1).

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Image
Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
