The question asks the student to prove or verify that a specific equation, identity, or equality holds (e.g., showing two expressions are equal, verifying a functional equation, or establishing an algebraic identity).
We consider a power series $f = \lambda z + F, F \in O_2, \lambda = (f)_1 \neq 0$, with $h$ the unique series in $O_1$ such that $h \circ f = I$ and $g$ the unique series in $O_1$ such that $f \circ g = I$. Show that $g = h$.
We fix two orthonormal families $u = (u_1, \ldots, u_p)$ of vectors of $V$ and $u^{\prime} = (u_1^{\prime}, \ldots, u_p^{\prime})$ of vectors of $V^{\prime}$ satisfying the conditions of question (1). (a) Show that there exist $0 \leqslant \theta_1 \leqslant \cdots \leqslant \theta_p \leqslant \pi/2$ such that $\cos(\theta_k) = \langle u_k, u_k^{\prime}\rangle$ for all $k \in \llbracket 1, p \rrbracket$. (b) Calculate the value of $\det(\operatorname{Gram}(u, u^{\prime}))$ as a function of the $\cos(\theta_k)$. (c) Deduce that $\det(\operatorname{Gram}(u, u^{\prime})) \leqslant 1$. What can be said about $V$ and $V^{\prime}$ in the case of equality?
Let $C$ be a non-empty closed convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $\sigma_C : \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \cup \{+\infty\}$ be defined by: $$\sigma_C(p) := \sup\{p \cdot x, x \in C\}$$ show that $$C = \left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^d : p \cdot x \leqslant \sigma_C(p), \forall p \in \mathbb{R}^d\right\}$$ (so that $C$ is an intersection of closed half-spaces).

We recall that we denote by $(p_i)_{i \in \mathbb{N}^*}$ the sequence of prime numbers, ordered in increasing order. Show that for all $r \in \mathbb{N}^*$ and all integer $n \geqslant 1$: $$\bigcup_{i=1}^{n+1} \mathbb{N}^* r p_i = \left(\bigcup_{i=1}^{n} \mathbb{N}^* r p_i\right) \cup \left(\mathbb{N}^* r p_{n+1} \backslash \bigcup_{i=1}^{n} \mathbb{N}^* r p_{n+1} p_i\right).$$

In this part we consider a map $\varphi$ from $\mathbf { R } ^ { n }$ to $\mathbf { R } ^ { n }$ of class $\mathcal { C } ^ { 1 }$ such that $\varphi ( 0 ) = 0$, and denoting $a = d \varphi ( 0 )$, such that all eigenvalues of $a$ have strictly negative real part. Let $b(x,y) = \int_0^{+\infty} \langle e^{ta}(x) \mid e^{ta}(y) \rangle\, dt$ be the inner product on $\mathbf{R}^n$, and $q$ the associated quadratic form, i.e., $q(x) = b(x,x)$ for all $x \in \mathbf{R}^n$. Prove then that: $$\forall x \in \mathbf { R } ^ { n } , \quad d q ( x ) ( a ( x ) ) = 2 b ( x , a ( x ) ) = - \| x \| ^ { 2 }$$

We denote $G_* = \sup\{G(f,g) \mid (f,g) \in \mathbb{R}^I \times \mathbb{R}^J\}$. (a) Show that $G(f^\infty, g^\infty) = G_*$. (b) Show that $G(f(\epsilon), g(\epsilon)) = G_*$. (c) Show that there exists a constant $a \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(\epsilon)_i = f_i^\infty + a$ and $g(\epsilon)_j = g_j^\infty - a$ for all $(i,j) \in I \times J$. (d) Deduce that $q(f^k, g^k) \rightarrow q(\epsilon)$.
For all $n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$ and all $k \in \llbracket 0 , n \rrbracket$, we set $x _ { n , k } = - \sqrt { n } + \frac { 2 k } { \sqrt { n } }$. Compare the real numbers $- x _ { n , k }$ and $x _ { n , n - k }$.
