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.
Express the derivatives $f^{\prime}, f^{\prime\prime}$ and $f^{(3)}$ using usual functions, where $f$ is defined on $I = ]-\pi/2, \pi/2[$ by $$\forall x \in I, \quad f(x) = \frac{\sin x + 1}{\cos x}.$$
Let $f$ be defined on $I = ]-\pi/2, \pi/2[$ by $f(x) = \frac{\sin x + 1}{\cos x}$. Show that there exists a sequence of polynomials $\left(P_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ with real coefficients such that $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \forall x \in I, \quad f^{(n)}(x) = \frac{P_n(\sin x)}{(\cos x)^{n+1}}$$ Make explicit the polynomials $P_0, P_1, P_2, P_3$ and, for every natural integer $n$, express $P_{n+1}$ as a function of $P_n$ and $P_n^{\prime}$.
Let $g : \mathbb{R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be the function defined by $g(x) = \ln\left(1 - p + pe^x\right)$ for all $x \geq 0$.
a. Show that $g$ is well defined and of class $C^2$ on $\mathbb{R}_+$. For $x \geq 0$, express $g''(x)$ in the form $\frac{\alpha\beta}{(\alpha+\beta)^2}$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive reals that may depend on $x$.
b. Show that $g''(x) \leq \frac{1}{4}$ for all $x \geq 0$.
c. Show that $$\ln\left(1 - p + pe^x\right) \leq px + \frac{x^2}{8} \text{ for all } x \geq 0$$
For every positive real $x$, we consider the function $\phi_x$ defined by $$\phi_x : \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbb{R} & \rightarrow & \mathbb{R} \\ t & \mapsto & x\exp(-x\exp(-t)) \end{array}$$ Prove that, for every positive real $x$, the function $\phi_x$ is of class $\mathcal{C}^2$ on $\mathbb{R}$ and that $$\forall t \in \mathbb{R}, \quad 0 \leqslant \phi_x'(t) \leqslant \frac{x}{\mathrm{e}}.$$
Given three real numbers $a, b$ and $c$ with $c \in D$, the Gauss hypergeometric function is defined by $$F_{a,b,c}(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \frac{[a]_n [b]_n}{[c]_n} \frac{x^n}{n!}$$ Justify that $F_{a,b,c}$ is of class $\mathcal{C}^1$ on $]-1,1[$. Calculate its derivative and express it using a Gauss hypergeometric function.
Given three real numbers $a, b$ and $c$ with $c \in D$, the Gauss hypergeometric function is defined by $$F_{a,b,c}(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \frac{[a]_n [b]_n}{[c]_n} \frac{x^n}{n!}$$ Justify that $F_{a,b,c}$ is of class $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ on $]-1,1[$ and express its $n$-th derivative using a Gauss hypergeometric function.
Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We define, for any real number $x$, $$\Phi_n(x) = \mathrm{e}^{-x} x^n \quad \text{and} \quad L_n(x) = \frac{\mathrm{e}^x}{n!} \Phi_n^{(n)}(x).$$ Determine $L_0, L_1, L_2$ and $L_3$.
Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be a non-zero natural integer. We define, for any real number $x$, $$\Phi_n(x) = \mathrm{e}^{-x} x^n \quad \text{and} \quad L_n(x) = \frac{\mathrm{e}^x}{n!} \Phi_n^{(n)}(x).$$ Using Leibniz's formula, prove that the function $L_n$ is polynomial of degree $n$. Determine the coefficients $c_{n,k}$ such that $L_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{n} c_{n,k} x^k$.
Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be a non-zero natural integer. We define, for any real number $x$, $$\Phi_n(x) = \mathrm{e}^{-x} x^n \quad \text{and} \quad L_n(x) = \frac{\mathrm{e}^x}{n!} \Phi_n^{(n)}(x).$$ For any real number $x$, express $\Phi_n^{(n)}(x)$ and $\Phi_n^{(n+1)}(x)$ in terms of $L_n(x)$ and $L_n'(x)$.
Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be a non-zero natural integer. We define, for any real number $x$, $$\Phi_n(x) = \mathrm{e}^{-x} x^n \quad \text{and} \quad L_n(x) = \frac{\mathrm{e}^x}{n!} \Phi_n^{(n)}(x).$$ Use the equality $\Phi_{n+1}^{(n+1)}(x) = \frac{\mathrm{d}^{n+1} x\Phi_n(x)}{\mathrm{d}x^{n+1}}$, which we will justify, to prove the equality $$L_{n+1}(x) = \left(1 - \frac{x}{n+1}\right) L_n(x) + \frac{x}{n+1} L_n'(x)$$ valid for any real number $x$.
For every integer $k \geqslant 2$, we set $\zeta(k) = \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} n^{-k}$. Let $h$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ defined by $$\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, \quad h(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x}{e^x - 1} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases}$$ Show that the function $h$ is of class $C^\infty$ on $\mathbb{R}$ and that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$, we have $$h^{(2n)}(0) = \frac{(-1)^{n-1}(2n)!}{\pi^{2n} 2^{2n-1}} \zeta(2n)$$
Throughout this problem, $I = ]-1, +\infty[$, and $f(x) = \int_0^{\pi/2} (\sin(t))^x \mathrm{~d}t$. If $n \in \mathbf{N}$, we denote by $D_n$ the improper integral $\int_0^{\pi/2} (\ln(\sin(t)))^n \mathrm{~d}t$.
Calculate $f'(0)$ and $f'(1)$.
Let $x > 0$. Using the study of a well-chosen function, show that $$\frac { x } { x ^ { 2 } + 1 } \varphi ( x ) \leqslant \int _ { x } ^ { + \infty } \varphi ( t ) \mathrm { d } t$$ where $\varphi ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 \pi } } \mathrm { e } ^ { - x ^ { 2 } / 2 }$.
We consider two strictly positive real numbers $a$ and $b$, and we set $\rho = \frac{b-a}{b+a}$. We call $\Psi$ the application from $\mathbf{R}$ to $\mathbf{R}$ defined by: $$\forall x \in \mathbf{R}, \Psi(x) = \ln(a^2 \cos^2 x + b^2 \sin^2 x)$$
Show that $\Psi$ is of class $\mathcal{C}^1$ on $\mathbf{R}$, then that for all $x \in \mathbf{R}$, $$\Psi'(x) = 4\sum_{k=1}^{+\infty} \rho^k \sin(2kx)$$
