We define the function $\theta : \mathbb { R } \rightarrow \mathbb { C }$ by $$\begin{cases} \theta ( x ) = 0 & \text { if } x \leqslant 0 \\ \theta ( x ) = \exp \left( - \frac { \ln ^ { 2 } x } { 4 \pi ^ { 2 } } + \mathrm { i } \frac { \ln x } { 2 \pi } \right) & \text { if } x > 0 \end{cases}$$ The purpose of Part III is to construct a function of class $C ^ { \infty }$ on $\mathbb { R }$, non-zero, whose all moments of order $p$ ($p \in \mathbb { N }$) are zero. Using the results of questions 36 and 37, conclude.

3. For a function $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ of class $C^\infty$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote by $f^{(n)}$ the derivative of order $n$ of $f$, with the convention $f^{(0)} = f$. We denote by $D : \mathbb{R}[X] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}[X]$ the unique linear map such that $$D(X^0) = 0, \quad D(X^k) = k(X^{k-1} + X^{k+1}), \quad \forall k \in \mathbb{N}^*$$ For $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$, we denote by $D^n$ the composition of order $n$ of $D$, with the convention $D^0 = \mathrm{Id}$. a. Let $P_n = D^n(X)$. Prove that for $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $\tan^{(n)}(x) = P_n(\tan x)$ for $x \in ]-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}[$. b. For $m \in \mathbb{N}^*$, let $V_m$ be the subspace of $\mathbb{R}[X]$ generated by $\{X, \ldots, X^m\}$. Let $\iota_m$ be the canonical injection of $V_m$ into $\mathbb{R}[X]$ and let $\tau_m : \mathbb{R}[X] \rightarrow V_m$ be the linear projection defined by $\tau_m(X^k) = X^k$ if $k \in \{1, \ldots, m\}$ and $\tau_m(X^k) = 0$ otherwise. Finally, we set $\delta_m = \tau_m \circ D \circ \iota_m$. Verify that $\delta_m$ is a linear map from $V_m$ to $V_m$ and write its matrix $M_m$ in the basis $(X, \ldots, X^m)$.
