We assume that $\sum _ { n \geqslant 0 } \left\| f _ { n } \right\| _ { r }$ converges. Show that $\sum _ { n \geqslant 0 } f _ { n }$ converges normally on $U _ { r }$ to a function $f \in \mathscr { D } _ { r } ( \mathbb { R } )$. Show that $\sum _ { n \geqslant 0 } f _ { n }$ also converges to $f$ for the norm $\| \cdot \| _ { r }$.
In this part, $a$ denotes an endomorphism of $\mathbf { C } ^ { n }$. We use the decomposition $\mathbf { C } ^ { n } = \bigoplus _ { i = 1 } ^ { r } E _ { i }$ where $E _ { i } = \operatorname { Ker } \left( a - \lambda _ { i } id _ { \mathbf { C } ^ { n } } \right) ^ { m _ { i } }$.
Show that, for $i \in \llbracket 1 ; r \rrbracket$, $E _ { i }$ is stable under $a$.

Let $M \in S _ { n } ^ { + } ( \mathbf { R } )$ be a non-zero matrix. Express $\| M \| _ { 2 }$ in terms of the eigenvalues of $M$.
We consider the matrix $K \in \mathscr{M}_N(\mathbf{R})$ defined by $$\forall (i,j) \in \llbracket 1;N \rrbracket^2, K[i,j] = p_{ij}$$ where $p_{ij}$ is the probability of moving from state $i$ to state $j$ at each impulse. Justify that $K$ is a Markov kernel.
Let $\varphi_{0}$ be the function defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by
$$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \varphi_{0}(x) = e^{-1/x^{2}} \text{ if } x \neq 0 \\ \varphi_{0}(0) = 0 \end{array} \right.$$
Using $\varphi_{0}$, show that there exists a function $\varphi_{1}$ of class $C^{\infty}$ on $\mathbb{R}$, whose support is $[0, \infty[$. Deduce that there exists a function $\varphi_{2}$ of class $C^{\infty}$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $\operatorname{Supp}(\varphi_{2}) = [-1, 1]$.

(b) Deduce that $E(|c(X)|) \geq \frac{H(p)}{\ln(2)}$. (Hint: One may try to express $\ln(2) E(|c(X)|)$ in terms of $H(p)$ and $\mathrm{KL}(p, q)$)
Let $f \in \mathscr { D } _ { \rho } ( \mathbb { R } )$ such that $f ( 0 ) \neq 0$. The purpose of this question is to show that there exists $r \in \mathbb { R } _ { + } ^ { * } , r \leqslant \rho$ such that $\frac { 1 } { f } \in \mathscr { D } _ { r } ( \mathbb { R } )$.
6a. Show that we can assume without loss of generality that $f ( 0 ) = 1$.
We now write $f ( t ) = \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { \infty } a _ { i } t ^ { i }$ and we assume that $a _ { 0 } = 1$.
6b. Only in this sub-question, we assume that there exists $r \in \mathbb { R } _ { + } ^ { * }$ such that $r \leqslant \rho$ and $g \in \mathscr { D } _ { r } ( \mathbb { R } )$ such that $f ( t ) g ( t ) = 1$ for all $t \in U _ { r }$. We write $g ( t ) = \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { \infty } b _ { i } t ^ { i }$. Show that: $$\left\{ \begin{aligned} & b _ { 0 } = 1 \\ & \text { for } n \geqslant 1 , b _ { n } = - \left( b _ { 0 } a _ { n } + \ldots + b _ { n - 1 } a _ { 1 } \right) \end{aligned} \right.$$
We now define the sequence $\left( b _ { n } \right) _ { n \geqslant 0 }$ by the above recurrence formula.
