Third Part
Let $\lambda$ be a strictly positive real number. For all real $x$ and $r$ such that $| x | < 1$ and $| r | < 1$, we set
$$F _ { \lambda } ( x , r ) = \left( 1 - 2 r x + r ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { - \lambda }$$

  2. Show that for $x \in ] - 1,1 \left[ \right.$, the function $r \mapsto F _ { \lambda } ( x , r )$ is expandable as a power series in a neighborhood of 0 . For $x \in ] - 1,1 \left[ \right.$, we denote $a _ { n } ^ { ( \lambda ) } ( x )$ the $n$-th coefficient of the expansion of the function $r \mapsto F _ { \lambda } ( x , r )$ so that, for $r$ in a neighborhood of 0 ,

$$F _ { \lambda } ( x , r ) = \sum _ { n \geqslant 0 } a _ { n } ^ { ( \lambda ) } ( x ) r ^ { n }$$
16a. For $x \in ] - 1,1 \left[ \right.$, show that $a _ { 1 } ^ { ( \lambda ) } ( x ) = 2 \lambda x a _ { 0 } ^ { ( \lambda ) } ( x )$ and that, for every integer $n \geqslant 1$,
$$( n + 1 ) a _ { n + 1 } ^ { ( \lambda ) } ( x ) = 2 ( n + \lambda ) x a _ { n } ^ { ( \lambda ) } ( x ) - ( n + 2 \lambda - 1 ) a _ { n - 1 } ^ { ( \lambda ) } ( x )$$
Hint: one may begin by computing $\left( 1 - 2 x r + r ^ { 2 } \right) \frac { \partial F _ { \lambda } } { \partial r } ( x , r )$. 16b. Deduce that, for all $n \geqslant 0$, the function $a _ { n } ^ { ( \lambda ) }$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ whose leading coefficient and parity will be determined. We now assume that $\lambda > \frac { 1 } { 2 }$. For $P , Q \in \mathbb { R } [ X ]$, we set
$$\langle P , Q \rangle = \int _ { - 1 } ^ { 1 } P ( x ) Q ( x ) \left( 1 - x ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { \lambda - \frac { 1 } { 2 } } d x$$

We define the Kronecker product of $A$ by $B$, and we denote $A \otimes B$, the matrix of $\mathcal{M}_{ur,vs}(\mathbb{R})$ which is defined by $uv$ blocks of size $r \times s$ in such a way that, for all $(i,j) \in \llbracket 1,u \rrbracket \times \llbracket 1,v \rrbracket$, the block with index $(i,j)$ is $a_{i,j}B$.
Besides $u,v,r$ and $s$, we are also given two non-zero natural integers, $w$ and $t$.
Show that, for all matrices $A \in \mathcal{M}_{u,v}(\mathbb{R})$, $A' \in \mathcal{M}_{v,w}(\mathbb{R})$, $B \in \mathcal{M}_{r,s}(\mathbb{R})$ and $B' \in \mathcal{M}_{s,t}(\mathbb{R})$, $$(A \otimes B)(A' \otimes B') = (AA') \otimes (BB').$$

Let the map $\psi : u \in \mathbf { R } ^ { ( \mathbf { N } ) } \mapsto \sum _ { i = 0 } ^ { + \infty } u _ { i } X _ { i }$. Show that $\psi$ takes its values in $L ^ { 0 } ( \Omega )$, then that $\psi$ preserves the inner product.
Justify that the function $\psi_n$ is differentiable on $\mathbb{R}_+$ and that $\psi_n' = m_n$.

For an integer $N \geqslant 2$, we say that a polynomial $P \in \mathbb { R } [ X ]$ is $N$-conductive if, for every absolutely monotone function $f$ from $[ - 1,1 ]$ to $\mathbb { R }$, the polynomial $H ( f , P )$ is a function of positive type in dimension $N$.
In this part, we assume that $n$ is a power of 2: we write $n = 2 ^ { k }$ with $k \in \mathbf { N } ^ { \star }$. Let $\left( a _ { 1 } , \ldots , a _ { k } \right) \in \mathbf { R } ^ { k }$. Show that $$\alpha _ { 1 } n \left\| \left( a _ { 1 } , \ldots , a _ { k } \right) \right\| _ { 2 } ^ { \mathbf { R } ^ { k } } \leq \sum _ { \left( \varepsilon _ { 1 } , \ldots , \varepsilon _ { k } \right) \in \{ - 1,1 \} ^ { k } } \left| \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { k } \varepsilon _ { i } a _ { i } \right| \leq \beta _ { 1 } n \left\| \left( a _ { 1 } , \ldots , a _ { k } \right) \right\| _ { 2 } ^ { \mathbf { R } ^ { k } } .$$ You may use questions 11 and 16.
