Let $\psi$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, $$\psi(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{x}{\mathrm{e}^{x} - 1} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ Let furthermore $u$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$, $$u(x,t) = \psi(x)\,\mathrm{e}^{tx}.$$ Show that $u$ is of class $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2}$.
Let $\psi$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, $$\psi(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{x}{\mathrm{e}^{x} - 1} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ Let furthermore $u$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$, $$u(x,t) = \psi(x)\,\mathrm{e}^{tx}.$$ For all $(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$, calculate $\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial t}(x,t)$ then show that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$, $$\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\frac{\partial^{n} u}{\partial x^{n}}(x,t) = x\frac{\partial^{n} u}{\partial x^{n}}(x,t) + n\frac{\partial^{n-1} u}{\partial x^{n-1}}(x,t).$$
Let $\left( X _ { k } \right) _ { k \in \mathbf{N} ^ { * } }$ be independent random variables with the same distribution given by:
$$P \left( X _ { 1 } = - 1 \right) = P \left( X _ { 1 } = 1 \right) = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$
For all $n \in \mathbf { N } ^ { * }$, we denote $S _ { n } = \sum _ { k = 1 } ^ { n } X _ { k }$.
Let $a , b \in \mathbf { R }$ such that $a \neq 0$ and $| b | \leq | a |$. Show that
$$| a + b | = | a | + \operatorname { sign } ( a ) b$$
where $\operatorname { sign } ( x ) = x / | x |$ for nonzero real $x$. Deduce that:
$$\forall n \in \mathbf { N } ^ { * } , \quad E \left( \left| S _ { 2 n } \right| \right) = E \left( \left| S _ { 2 n - 1 } \right| \right)$$
Show that $$\forall x , y \in \mathbf { R } _ { + } , \quad x y \leq \frac { x ^ { p } } { p } + \frac { y ^ { q } } { q }$$ where $p , q \in ] 1 , + \infty [$ such that $\frac { 1 } { p } + \frac { 1 } { q } = 1$.
Show that the set of quasi-polynomial functions forms a $\mathbb{C}$-vector space.
Let $p , q \in ] 1 , + \infty [$ such that $\frac { 1 } { p } + \frac { 1 } { q } = 1$. Let $X , Y \in L ^ { 0 } ( \Omega )$ which we assume are both non-negative. Deduce the following inequality (Hölder's inequality): $$\mathbf { E } ( X Y ) \leq \left( \mathrm { E } \left( X ^ { p } \right) \right) ^ { 1 / p } \left( \mathrm { E } \left( Y ^ { q } \right) \right) ^ { 1 / q } .$$ You may begin by treating the case where $\mathbf { E } \left( X ^ { p } \right) = \mathbf { E } \left( Y ^ { q } \right) = 1$.
Show that $p \wedge p_0 = 1$ if and only if $p$ has no stable root.
Show that if $P, Q : \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ are two quasi-polynomial functions such that $P(n) = Q(n)$ for all $n \geq 0$, then $P = Q$.
What inequality do we recover when $p = q = 2$ ? Give a direct proof of it.
Let $Q$ be a polynomial of degree $p$. We say that $Q$ is antireciprocal if $$Q(X) = -X^p Q\left(\frac{1}{X}\right)$$ Show that if $Q$ is antireciprocal, 1 is a root of $Q$ and that there exists a polynomial $P$ that is constant or reciprocal such that $Q = (X-1)P$.

Let $n \geq 1$ be an integer. A non-empty compact subset $P \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a polytope if there exist a non-empty finite set $I$ and if for all $i \in I$ there exist a linear form $\ell_i : \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and a real number $a_i \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $P = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^n : \ell_i(x) \leq a_i\ \forall i \in I\}$.
