Let $F$ be a vector subspace of a symplectic space $(E , \omega)$, with $\omega$-orthogonal $F^{\omega} = \{ x \in E \mid \forall y \in F , \omega ( x , y ) = 0 \}$. Is the subspace $F ^ { \omega }$ necessarily in direct sum with $F$?

The functions $p _ { \alpha }$ are defined by $p_\alpha : t \mapsto t^\alpha$ for $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}_+^*$, and the inner product on $E$ is $\langle f \mid g \rangle = \int _ { 0 } ^ { + \infty } f ( t ) g ( t ) \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } } { t } \mathrm {~d} t$. Is the family $\left( p _ { n } \right) _ { n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * } }$ an orthogonal family of $E$?

If $\varphi : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function, the support of $\varphi$ is defined by: $$\operatorname{Supp}(\varphi) = \overline{\{x \in \mathbb{R} : \varphi(x) \neq 0\}}$$ We say that $\varphi$ has compact support if $\operatorname{Supp}(\varphi)$ is a bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}$. We denote by $\mathcal{C}_{c}(\mathbb{R})$ the set of continuous functions with compact support on $\mathbb{R}$. If $\varphi \in \mathcal{C}_{c}(\mathbb{R})$, we set $$\|\varphi\|_{\infty} = \sup_{x \in \mathbb{R}} |\varphi(x)| \text{ and } \|\varphi\|_{1} = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} |\varphi(t)| dt$$
Are the norms $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}$ and $\|\cdot\|_{1}$ equivalent?

By setting for every integer $k \geqslant 1$, $a_k = \frac{1}{k} - \frac{1}{2^{k+1}}$ and $b_k = \frac{1}{k} + \frac{1}{2^{k+1}}$, show that we can choose an integer $k_0 \geqslant 1$ such that: $$\forall k \geqslant k_0, \quad b_{k+1} < a_k.$$ Deduce that the function $f : ]0,1[ \longrightarrow \mathbf{R}$ defined by: $$f : t \longmapsto \begin{cases} k^2 \cdot 2^{k+1} \cdot (t - a_k), & \text{if there exists an integer } k \geqslant k_0 \text{ such that } t \in \left[a_k, a_k + \frac{1}{2^{k+1}}\right] \\ k^2 \cdot 2^{k+1} \cdot (b_k - t), & \text{if there exists an integer } k \geqslant k_0 \text{ such that } t \in \left[a_k + \frac{1}{2^{k+1}}, b_k\right] \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ is a well-defined and continuous function on $]0,1[$, integrable on $]0,1[$ and that this function $f$ does not belong to the set $\mathscr{D}_{0,1}$.
