The question asks to verify properties of sequences defined by recurrence relations, determine minimal polynomials, or prove statements about terms of recursively defined sequences.
For $i \in \mathbf{Z}$, we define $v_i$ in $\mathbf{C}^{\mathbf{Z}}$ by $$v_i(k) = \left\{\begin{array}{l}
1 \text{ if } k = i \\
0 \text{ if } k \neq i
\end{array}\right.$$ 3a. Show that the family $\{v_i\}_{i \in \mathbf{Z}}$ is a basis of $V$. 3b. Calculate $E(v_i)$.
Let $\lambda, \mu \in \mathbf{C}^{\mathbf{Z}}$. We define the linear maps $F, H \in \mathcal{L}(V)$ respectively by $$H(v_i) = \lambda(i) v_i \quad \text{and} \quad F(v_i) = \mu(i) v_{i+1}, \quad i \in \mathbf{Z}.$$ Show that $H \circ E = E \circ H + 2E$ if and only if for all $i \in \mathbf{Z}, \lambda(i) = \lambda(0) - 2i$.
We assume that the conditions of question 4 are satisfied (i.e., $\lambda(i) = \lambda(0) - 2i$ for all $i \in \mathbf{Z}$). Let $\lambda, \mu \in \mathbf{C}^{\mathbf{Z}}$ and $F, H \in \mathcal{L}(V)$ defined by $H(v_i) = \lambda(i) v_i$ and $F(v_i) = \mu(i) v_{i+1}$. Show that $E \circ F = F \circ E + H$ if and only if for all $i \in \mathbf{Z}$, $$\mu(i) = \mu(0) + i(\lambda(0) - 1) - i^2.$$
We have $D_n = \left\{\sum_{j=1}^{n} \frac{x_j}{2^j}, (x_j)_{j \in \llbracket 1,n \rrbracket} \in \{0,1\}^n\right\}$ and $D = \bigcup_{n \in \mathbb{N}^{\star}} D_n$. Establish the monotonicity in the sense of inclusion of the sequence $(D_n)_{n \geqslant 1}$ and then verify $D \subset [0,1[$.
Let $k$ be a non-negative integer. We define the function $f _ { k }$ from the interval $[ - 1,1 ]$ to itself by $f _ { k } ( x ) = \cos ( k \arccos x )$. a) Expand the expression $f _ { k + 1 } ( x ) + f _ { k - 1 } ( x )$, and deduce the relation $$\forall x \in [ - 1,1 ] \quad f _ { k + 1 } ( x ) = 2 x f _ { k } ( x ) - f _ { k - 1 } ( x )$$ b) Deduce that $f _ { k }$ identifies on $[ - 1,1 ]$ with a polynomial $T _ { k }$, of degree $k$, with the same parity as $k$.
We consider a natural integer $n$ and a complex number $a$. We define a family of polynomials $(A_0, A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ by setting $$A_0 = 1 \quad \text{and, for all } k \in \llbracket 1, n \rrbracket, \quad A_k = \frac{1}{k!} X(X - ka)^{k-1}.$$ Using the result $A_k'(X) = A_{k-1}(X-a)$, deduce, for $j$ and $k$ elements of $\llbracket 0, n \rrbracket$, the value of $A_k^{(j)}(ja)$. Distinguish according to whether $j < k$, $j = k$ or $j > k$.
For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, calculate $\left\|T_n\right\|_{L^\infty([-1,1])}$. The sequence of polynomials $\left(T_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is defined by $T_0 = 1, T_1 = X$ and $\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, T_{n+2} = 2X T_{n+1} - T_n$.
Prove that the set of sequences satisfying relation $$P(n) u_n = Q(n) u_{n+1}$$ with $$P(X) = X(X-1)(X-2) \quad \text{and} \quad Q(X) = X(X-2)$$ is a vector space for which we will specify a basis and the dimension.
The Pochhammer symbol is defined, for any real number $a$ and any natural integer $n$, by $$[a]_n = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } n = 0 \\ a(a+1)\cdots(a+n-1) = \prod_{k=0}^{n-1}(a+k) & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ If $a$ is a negative or zero integer, justify that the sequence $\left([a]_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is zero from a certain rank onwards.
The Pochhammer symbol is defined, for any real number $a$ and any natural integer $n$, by $$[a]_n = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } n = 0 \\ a(a+1)\cdots(a+n-1) = \prod_{k=0}^{n-1}(a+k) & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ Let $a \in \mathbb{R}$. Verify that, for any natural integer $n$, $[a]_{n+1} = a[a+1]_n$.
Given three real numbers $a, b$ and $c$, the Gauss hypergeometric function associated with the triplet $(a, b, c)$ 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, if $c \in D$, then $\frac{[a]_n [b]_n}{[c]_n}$ is well defined for any natural integer $n$.
Let $\left( U _ { n } \right) _ { n \in \mathbb { N } }$ be the sequence of polynomials defined by $U _ { 0 } = 1 , U _ { 1 } = X - 1$ and $\forall n \in \mathbb { N } , U _ { n + 2 } = ( X - 2 ) U _ { n + 1 } - U _ { n }$. For all $n \in \mathbb { N }$, show that $U _ { n }$ is monic of degree $n$, and determine the value of $U _ { n } ( 0 )$.
Let $\left( U _ { n } \right) _ { n \in \mathbb { N } }$ be the sequence of polynomials defined by $U _ { 0 } = 1 , U _ { 1 } = X - 1$ and $\forall n \in \mathbb { N } , U _ { n + 2 } = ( X - 2 ) U _ { n + 1 } - U _ { n }$. Let $\theta \in \mathbb { R }$. Show that $\forall n \in \mathbb { N } , U _ { n } \left( 4 \cos ^ { 2 } \theta \right) \sin \theta = \sin ( ( 2 n + 1 ) \theta )$.
In this subsection, $I = ]{-1,1}[$ and $w(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$. For every integer $n \in \mathbb{N}$, consider the function $Q_n : \left|\,\begin{array}{ccl} [-1,1] & \rightarrow & \mathbb{R} \\ x & \mapsto & \cos(n \arccos(x)) \end{array}\right.$. Calculate $Q_0$, $Q_1$ and, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, express simply $Q_{n+2}$ in terms of $Q_{n+1}$ and $Q_n$.
In this subsection, $I = ]{-1,1}[$ and $w(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$. For every integer $n \in \mathbb{N}$, consider the function $Q_n(x) = \cos(n \arccos(x))$ on $[-1,1]$. Deduce that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $Q_n$ is polynomial and determine its degree and leading coefficient.
For $( n , N ) \in \mathbf { N } \times \mathbf { N } ^ { * }$, we denote by $P _ { n , N }$ the set of lists $\left( a _ { 1 } , \ldots , a _ { N } \right) \in \mathbf { N } ^ { N }$ such that $\sum _ { k = 1 } ^ { N } k a _ { k } = n$. If this set is finite, we denote by $p _ { n , N }$ its cardinality. Let $n \in \mathbf { N }$. Show that $P _ { n , N }$ is finite for all $N \in \mathbf { N } ^ { * }$, that the sequence $\left( p _ { n , N } \right) _ { N \geq 1 }$ is increasing, and that it is constant from rank $\max ( n , 1 )$ onward.
