We define $\hat{f}$ on $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{*} \times \mathbb{R}$ by: $\forall(t, \xi) \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*} \times \mathbb{R},\ \hat{f}(t, \xi) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(t, x) \exp(-\mathrm{i} 2\pi \xi x) \mathrm{d}x$. Show that, for any real number $\xi$, $\lim_{t \rightarrow 0^{+}} \hat{f}(t, \xi) = \widehat{g_{\sigma}}(\xi)$. One may use any sequence $\left(t_{n}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ of strictly positive reals converging to zero.
Show that, for any real $\xi$ and any real $t > 0$, $\frac{\partial \hat{f}}{\partial t}(t, \xi) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{\partial f}{\partial t}(t, x) \exp(-\mathrm{i} 2\pi \xi x) \mathrm{d}x$.
By noting that $\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{\partial f}{\partial t}(t, x) \exp(-\mathrm{i} 2\pi \xi x) \mathrm{d}x = \mathcal{F}\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}(t, \cdot)\right)(\xi)$ and using question 7, show that, for any real $\xi$ and any real $t > 0$, $\frac{\partial \hat{f}}{\partial t}(t, \xi) = -4\pi^{2} \xi^{2} \hat{f}(t, \xi)$.
In this subsection II.C, we consider two functions of class $\mathcal{C}^2$, $u : \mathbb{R}^{*+} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and $v : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and we set $$\forall (r,\theta) \in \mathbb{R}^{*+} \times \mathbb{R} \quad f(r\cos(\theta), r\sin(\theta)) = u(r)v(\theta)$$ We assume here that $\lambda = 0$. Deduce from this, in the case $\lambda = 0$, the harmonic functions with separable polar variables.
Show that, for all $\xi \in \mathbb{R}$, there exists a real $K(\xi)$ such that for all $t \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}$, $\hat{f}(t, \xi) = K(\xi) \exp\left(-4\pi^{2} \xi^{2} t\right)$.
Using question 15, determine, for any real $\xi$, the value of $K(\xi)$.
Let $t$ be a strictly positive real number. Using questions 20 and 12, and the result that if $u$ and $v$ are functions from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$, continuous and integrable on $\mathbb{R}$ and satisfying $\mathcal{F}(u) = \mathcal{F}(v)$, then $u = v$, deduce the existence of a real $\lambda_{t,\sigma}$ such that $$f(t, \cdot) = \lambda_{t,\sigma} g_{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}+2t}}$$
Show that the function $I : \left\lvert\, \begin{aligned} & \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \\ & t \mapsto \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(t, x) \mathrm{d}x \end{aligned}\right.$ is constant. One may use the result of question 17.
Let $t \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}$ and $x \in\ ]0,1[$. Give the limit, as $\theta$ tends to zero, of $\frac{f(t+\theta, x) - f(t, x)}{\theta}$.
Let $t \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}$ and $x \in\ ]0,1[$. Show that $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(t, x+h) - 2f(t, x) + f(t, x-h)}{h^{2}} = \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}}(x, t)$.
Let $\tau$ be a strictly positive real and $q$ a natural integer greater than or equal to 2. We set $\delta = \frac{1}{q+1}$ and $r = \frac{\tau}{\delta^{2}}$. The numerical scheme imposes, for any natural integer $n$ and any $k \in \llbracket 1, q \rrbracket$: $$\frac{f_{n+1}(k) - f_{n}(k)}{\tau} = \frac{f_{n}(k+1) - 2f_{n}(k) + f_{n}(k-1)}{\delta^{2}}$$ as well as $f_{n}(0) = f_{n}(q+1) = 0$. We set $F_{n} = \left(\begin{array}{c} f_{n}(1) \\ \vdots \\ f_{n}(q) \end{array}\right)$, $I_{q}$ is the identity matrix of order $q$, $B$ is the square matrix of order $q$ with coefficient $(i,j)$ equal to 1 if $|i-j|=1$ and 0 otherwise, and $A = (1-2r)I_{q} + rB$. Show that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $F_{n+1} = A F_{n}$.
We define a sequence $(a_n)_{n \geqslant 1}$ by setting $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^*, \quad a_n = \frac{(-n)^{n-1}}{n!}.$$ We define, when possible, $S(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} a_n x^n$, with radius of convergence $R$. We consider the function $$h : \begin{array}{ccc} ]-R,R[ & \rightarrow & \mathbb{R} \\ x & \mapsto & S(x)\mathrm{e}^{S(x)} \end{array}$$ Prove that $h$ is a solution on $]-R, R[$ of the differential equation $xy' - y = 0$.
Solve the differential equation $xy' - y = 0$ on each of the intervals $]0, R[$ and $]-R, 0[$ then on the interval $]-R, R[$.
For every positive real $x$, we consider the function $\phi_x$ defined by $$\phi_x : \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbb{R} & \rightarrow & \mathbb{R} \\ t & \mapsto & x\exp(-x\exp(-t)) \end{array}$$ and a sequence of functions $(w_n)_{n \geqslant 0}$ on $\mathbb{R}^+$ defined by $$\forall x \in \mathbb{R}^+, \quad \begin{cases} w_0(x) = 1 \\ w_{n+1}(x) = \phi_x(w_n(x)) \end{cases}$$ Let $W$ be the Lambert function defined in Part I. Prove that, for every positive real $x$, $W(x)$ is a fixed point of $\phi_x$, that is, a solution of the equation $\phi_x(t) = t$.

Using the fact that $0 \leqslant \phi_x'(t) \leqslant \frac{x}{\mathrm{e}}$ for all $t \in \mathbb{R}$, deduce that $$\forall x \in [0, \mathrm{e}], \quad \forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \quad |w_n(x) - W(x)| \leqslant \left(\frac{x}{\mathrm{e}}\right)^n |1 - W(x)|.$$
