Prove that a normal operator on a complex inner product space is self- adjoint if and only if all its eigenvalues are real. [The exercise above strengthens the analogy (for normal operators) between self-adjoint operators and real numbers.]

Let A be an invertible linear operator on a finite-dimensional complex vector space V. Recall that we have shown in class that in this case, there exists a unique unitary operator U such that A=UA. The point of this exercise is to prove the following result: an invertible operator A is normal if and only if U|A= |AU. a) Show that if UA = |A|U, then AA* = A*A. Now, we want to show the other direction, i.e. if AA*...
3. Let V be a finite dimensional inner product space, and suppose that T is a linear operator on this space. (i) Let B be an ordered orthonormal basis for V and let U be the linear operator on V determined by [U19 = (T);. Then, for all 01,09 € V, (01, T(02)) = (U(V1), v2) (ii) Prove that the conclusion of the previous part does not hold, in general, if the basis 8 is not orthonormal.
Let V be a finite-dimensional inner product space. For an operator TEL(V), define its norm by ||T|:= max{||Tull VEV. ||0|| = 1}. (1) To explain this, note that {l|Tu ve V, || 0 || = 1} is a non-empty subset of [0,00). The expression max{||TV|| | V EV, ||0|| = 1} means the maximum, or largest, value in this set. In words, the norm of an operator describes the maximal amount that it 'stretches' (or shrinks) vectors. (a) (1 point)...
2. Work with matrix representations of linear transformations and use knowledge of matrix properties to prove that if a EC is an eigenvalue of a linear operator T:V + V on a (finite-dimensional) inner product space V over C, then ā is an eigenvalue of the adjoint operator T* :V + V. Hint: Check that det (Tij) = det (ij) and utilize this property.
