Problem 1: calculation of an integral
For $x \geqslant 0$ we define $$f ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { e ^ { - t x } } { 1 + t ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} t \quad \text { and } \quad g ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { \sin t } { t + x } \mathrm {~d} t$$
Study of $f$. a. Show that $f ( x )$ is well defined for all $x \geqslant 0$. b. Show with precision that the function $f$ is of class $C ^ { 2 }$ on $] 0 , \infty [$, and also continuous at 0. c. Calculate $f + f ^ { \prime \prime }$ and deduce that $f$ is a solution of a linear second-order differential equation.

Problem 1: calculation of an integral
For $x \geqslant 0$ we define $$f ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { e ^ { - t x } } { 1 + t ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} t \quad \text { and } \quad g ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { \sin t } { t + x } \mathrm {~d} t$$
Study of $g$. a. Show that $g ( x )$ is well defined for all $x \geqslant 0$. b. Show that $g$ is of class $C ^ { 2 }$ on $] 0 , \infty [$.
For this you may use the change of variable $u = t + x$ and express $g$ in terms of the functions $C : x \mapsto \int _ { x } ^ { \infty } \frac { \cos u } { u } \mathrm {~d} u$ and $S : x \mapsto \int _ { x } ^ { \infty } \frac { \sin u } { u } \mathrm {~d} u$. c. Determine a linear second-order differential equation satisfied by $f$.

Problem 1: calculation of an integral
For $x \geqslant 0$ we define $$f ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { e ^ { - t x } } { 1 + t ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} t \quad \text { and } \quad g ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { \sin t } { t + x } \mathrm {~d} t$$
Show that on $] 0 , \infty [$ we have $f = g$. For this you may use a differential equation satisfied by $( f - g )$ and use the behavior of $f$ and $g$ at $+ \infty$.

For $x \geqslant 0$ we define $$f ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { e ^ { - t x } } { 1 + t ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} t \quad \text { and } \quad g ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { \sin t } { t + x } \mathrm {~d} t$$
Using the expression of $g$ obtained in question 2.b., show that $g$ is continuous at 0.

For $x \geqslant 0$ we define $$f ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { e ^ { - t x } } { 1 + t ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} t \quad \text { and } \quad g ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { \sin t } { t + x } \mathrm {~d} t$$
Deduce the value of $\int _ { 0 } ^ { \infty } \frac { \sin t } { t } \mathrm {~d} t$.

Problem 2, Part 2: Linear recurrence sequences with constant coefficients
We consider a sequence $\left( u _ { n } \right) _ { n \geqslant 0 }$ of complex numbers defined by the data of $u _ { 0 } , \ldots , u _ { d }$ and the linear recurrence relation $$u _ { n + d } = \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { d - 1 } a _ { i } u _ { n + i } + b ,$$ where the $a _ { i }$ and $b$ are complex numbers. We define $P \in \mathbb { C } [ X ]$ by $P ( X ) = X ^ { d } - \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { d - 1 } a _ { i } X ^ { i }$ and we assume that all complex roots of $P$ have modulus strictly less than 1.
Suppose in this question that $b = 0$. Show that $(u _ { n })$ tends to 0.

Problem 2, Part 2: Linear recurrence sequences with constant coefficients
We consider a sequence $\left( u _ { n } \right) _ { n \geqslant 0 }$ of complex numbers defined by the data of $u _ { 0 } , \ldots , u _ { d }$ and the linear recurrence relation $$u _ { n + d } = \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { d - 1 } a _ { i } u _ { n + i } + b ,$$ where the $a _ { i }$ and $b$ are complex numbers. We define $P \in \mathbb { C } [ X ]$ by $P ( X ) = X ^ { d } - \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { d - 1 } a _ { i } X ^ { i }$ and we assume that all complex roots of $P$ have modulus strictly less than 1.
In the general case, show that $(u _ { n })$ converges and specify its limit.

Problem 2, Part 3: Linear recurrence sequences with variable coefficients
We consider a sequence $\left( v _ { n } \right) _ { n \geqslant 0 }$ satisfying a recurrence of the form $$v _ { n + d } = \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { d - 1 } b _ { i } ( n ) v _ { n + i }$$ where $v _ { 0 } , \ldots , v _ { d - 1 }$ are given and for all $i \in \{ 0 , \ldots , d - 1 \} , \left( b _ { i } ( n ) \right) _ { n \geqslant 0 }$ is a sequence with complex values converging to $a _ { i }$. We also define for all $n \geqslant 0 , V _ { n } = \left( v _ { n } , \ldots , v _ { n + d - 1 } \right)$. We always assume hypothesis (*) is satisfied (all complex roots of $P(X) = X^d - \sum_{i=0}^{d-1} a_i X^i$ have modulus strictly less than 1), and $A$ is the matrix from question 7.
Let $\varepsilon > 0$ be fixed. Show that there exists an integer $q \geqslant 1$ and an integer $n _ { 0 }$ such that for all $n \geqslant n _ { 0 }$, $$\left\| V _ { n + q } \right\| _ { \infty } \leqslant ( \sigma ( A ) + \varepsilon ) ^ { q } \left\| V _ { n } \right\| _ { \infty }$$ where $A$ is the matrix from question 7.

We also define for all $n \geqslant 0 , V _ { n } = \left( v _ { n } , \ldots , v _ { n + d - 1 } \right)$. We always assume hypothesis (*) is satisfied.
