Problem 1 (13 points)
a) Let A be a n × n, n ≥ 2, symmetric, invertible matrix with real positive elements Show that zn≤ n2− 2n, where zn is the number of zero elements in A−1
b) How many zero elements are there in the inverse of the n × n matrix
A =
1 1 1 1 1
1 2 2 2 2
1 2 1 1 1
1 2 1 2 2
1 2 1 2
?
Solution Denote by aij and bij the elements of A and A−1, respectively Then for k 6= m we have Pn
i=0
akibim = 0 and from the positivity of aij we conclude that at least one of {bim : i = 1, 2, , n} is positive and at least one is negative Hence we have at least two non-zero elements in every column of A−1 This proves part a) For part b) all bij are zero except
b1,1 = 2, bn,n = (−1)n, bi,i+1 = bi+1,i = (−1)i for i = 1, 2, , n − 1
Problem 2 (13 points)
Let f ∈ C1(a, b), lim
x→a+f (x) = +∞, lim
x→b−f (x) = −∞ and
f′(x) + f2(x) ≥ −1 for x ∈ (a, b) Prove that b − a ≥ π and give an example where b − a = π
Solution From the inequality we get
d
dx(arctg f (x) + x) =
f′(x)
1 + f2(x)+ 1 ≥ 0 for x ∈ (a, b) Thus arctg f(x)+x is non-decreasing in the interval and using the limits we get π
2 + a ≤ −π2 + b Hence b − a ≥ π One has equality for
f (x) = cotg x, a = 0, b = π
Problem 3 (13 points)
Trang 4Given a set S of 2n − 1, n ∈ N, different irrational numbers Prove that there are n different elements x1, x2, , xn ∈ S such that for all non-negative rational numbers a1, a2, , an with a1+ a2+ · · · + an> 0 we have that a1x1+ a2x2+ · · · + anxn is an irrational number
Solution LetIbe the set of irrational numbers,Q– the set of rational numbers,Q+ =Q∩ [0, ∞) We work by induction For n = 1 the statement
is trivial Let it be true for n − 1 We start to prove it for n From the induction argument there are n − 1 different elements x1, x2, , xn−1 ∈ S such that
(1) a1x1+ a2x2+ · · · + an−1xn−1∈I
for all a1, a2, , an∈Q+ with a1+ a2+ · · · + an−1> 0
Denote the other elements of S by xn, xn+1, , x2n−1 Assume the state-ment is not true for n Then for k = 0, 1, , n − 1 there are rk ∈Q such that

b) Consider the linear operator L(F ) = F ◦G−G◦F acting over all n×n matrices F It may have at most n2 different eigenvalues Assuming that
Fk 6= 0 for every k we get that L has infinitely many different eigenvalues
αk in view of a) – a contradiction

Let f ∈ C2[0, N ] and |f′(x)| < 1, f′′(x) > 0 for every x ∈ [0, N] Let
0 ≤ m0 < m1 < · · · < mk ≤ N be integers such that ni = f (mi) are also integers for i = 0, 1, , k Denote bi = ni− ni−1 and ai = mi− mi−1 for

c) Prove that k ≤ 3N2/3 (i.e there are no more than 3N2/3 integer points on the curve y = f (x), x ∈ [0, N])
Solution a) For i = 1, 2, , k we have
bi = f (mi) − f(mi−1) = (mi− mi−1)f′(xi) for some xi ∈ (mi−1, mi) Hence bi
ai = f
′(xi) and so −1 < abi
i
< 1 From the convexity of f we have that f′ is increasing and bi
ai = f
′(xi) < f′(xi+1) =

and hence |SA| < N/A
c) All different fractions in (−1, 1) with denominators less or equal A are

Second day — July 30, 1994
Problem 1 (14 points)
Let f ∈ C1[a, b], f (a) = 0 and suppose that λ ∈R, λ > 0, is such that
|f′(x)| ≤ λ|f(x)|
for all x ∈ [a, b] Is it true that f(x) = 0 for all x ∈ [a, b]?
Solution Assume that there is y ∈ (a, b] such that f(y) 6= 0 Without loss of generality we have f (y) > 0 In view of the continuity of f there exists
c ∈ [a, y) such that f(c) = 0 and f(x) > 0 for x ∈ (c, y] For x ∈ (c, y] we have |f′(x)| ≤ λf(x) This implies that the function g(x) = ln f(x) − λx is not increasing in (c, y] because of g′(x) = f
′(x)
f (x)−λ ≤ 0 Thus ln f(x)−λx ≥
ln f (y) − λy and f(x) ≥ eλx−λyf (y) for x ∈ (c, y] Thus
0 = f (c) = f (c + 0) ≥ eλc−λyf (y) > 0
— a contradiction Hence one has f (x) = 0 for all x ∈ [a, b]
Problem 2 (14 points)
Let f :R2 →Rbe given by f (x, y) = (x2− y2)e−x 2
−y 2
a) Prove that f attains its minimum and its maximum
b) Determine all points (x, y) such that ∂f
∂x(x, y) =
∂f
∂y(x, y) = 0 and determine for which of them f has global or local minimum or maximum Solution We have f (1, 0) = e−1, f (0, 1) = −e−1 and te−t ≤ 2e−2 for
t ≥ 2 Therefore |f(x, y)| ≤ (x2 + y2)e−x 2
−y 2
≤ 2e−2 < e−1 for (x, y) /∈
M = {(u, v) : u2 + v2 ≤ 2} and f cannot attain its minimum and its
Trang 8maximum outside M Part a) follows from the compactness of M and the continuity of f Let (x, y) be a point from part b) From ∂f
∂x(x, y) = 2x(1 − x2+ y2)e−x2−y2 we get
(1) x(1 − x2+ y2) = 0
Similarly
(2) y(1 + x2− y2) = 0
All solutions (x, y) of the system (1), (2) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, −1), (1, 0) and (−1, 0) One has f(1, 0) = f(−1, 0) = e−1 and f has global maximum
at the points (1, 0) and (−1, 0) One has f(0, 1) = f(0, −1) = −e−1 and
f has global minimum at the points (0, 1) and (0, −1) The point (0, 0)
is not an extrema point because of f (x, 0) = x2e−x2 > 0 if x 6= 0 and
f (y, 0) = −y2e−y2 < 0 if y 6= 0
Problem 3 (14 points)
Let f be a real-valued function with n + 1 derivatives at each point of
R Show that for each pair of real numbers a, b, a < b, such that
ln f (b) + f
′(b) + · · · + f(n)(b)
f (a) + f′(a) + · · · + f(n)(a)
!
= b − a
there is a number c in the open interval (a, b) for which
f(n+1)(c) = f (c)
Note that ln denotes the natural logarithm
Solution Set g(x) =
f (x) + f′(x) + · · · + f(n)(x)
e−x From the assumption one get g(a) = g(b) Then there exists c ∈ (a, b) such that
g′(c) = 0 Replacing in the last equality g′(x) =
f(n+1)(x) − f(x)e−x we finish the proof
Problem 4 (18 points)
Let A be a n × n diagonal matrix with characteristic polynomial
(x − c1)d1
(x − c2)d2
(x − ck)dk
, where c1, c2, , ckare distinct (which means that c1appears d1times on the diagonal, c2appears d2times on the diagonal, etc and d1+d2+· · ·+dk = n)
Trang 9Let V be the space of all n × n matrices B such that AB = BA Prove that the dimension of V is
d21+ d22+ · · · + d2k Solution Set A = (aij)ni,j=1, B = (bij)ni,j=1, AB = (xij)ni,j=1 and
BA = (yij)n
i,j=1 Then xij = aiibij and yij = ajjbij Thus AB = BA is equivalent to (aii− ajj)bij = 0 for i, j = 1, 2, , n Therefore bij = 0 if
aii6= ajj and bij may be arbitrary if aii= ajj The number of indices (i, j) for which aii = ajj = cm for some m = 1, 2, , k is d2
m This gives the desired result

Let X be a nonsingular matrix with columns X1, X2, , Xn Let Y be a matrix with columns X2, X3, , Xn, 0 Show that the matrices A = Y X−1
and B = X−1Y have rank n − 1 and have only 0’s for eigenvalues
Solution Let J = (aij) be the n × n matrix where aij = 1 if i = j + 1 and aij = 0 otherwise The rank of J is n − 1 and its only eigenvalues are
0′s Moreover Y = XJ and A = Y X−1 = XJX−1, B = X−1Y = J It follows that both A and B have rank n − 1 with only 0′s for eigenvalues

Let f be twice continuously differentiable on (0, +∞) such that
lim
x→0+f′(x) = −∞ and limx→0+f′′(x) = +∞ Show that
lim
x→0+
f (x)
f′(x) = 0.
Trang 13Solution Since f′ tends to −∞ and f′′ tends to +∞ as x tends to 0+, there exists an interval (0, r) such that f′(x) < 0 and f′′(x) > 0 for all
x ∈ (0, r) Hence f is decreasing and f′ is increasing on (0, r) By the mean value theorem for every 0 < x < x0< r we obtain
f (x) − f(x0) = f′(ξ)(x − x0) > 0, for some ξ ∈ (x, x0) Taking into account that f′ is increasing, f′(x) <
f′(ξ) < 0, we get
x − x0 < f
′(ξ)
f′(x)(x − x0) = f (x) − f(x0)
f′(x) < 0.
Taking limits as x tends to 0+ we obtain
−x0 ≤ lim infx→0+ ff (x)′(x) ≤ lim sup
x→0+
f (x)
f′(x) ≤ 0
Since this happens for all x0 ∈ (0, r) we deduce that lim

f′(x) exists and lim

f (x)
f′(x) = 0.

Solution From the definition we have
F′(x) = x − 1
ln x , x > 1.
Therefore F′(x) > 0 for x ∈ (1, ∞) Thus F is strictly increasing and hence one-to-one Since
F (x) ≥ (x2− x) min
ln t : x ≤ t ≤ x2
= x
2− x
ln x2 → ∞
Trang 14as x → ∞, it follows that the range of F is (F (1+), ∞) In order to determine
F (1+) we substitute t = ev in the definition of F and we get
F (x) =

Hence

Assume that a, p1, p2, , pn−1, b are the (i, j)-th entries of the corre-sponding matrices An, P1, P2, , Pn−1, Bn Then the polynomial
