We denote by $K$ the function defined from $[0,1]^2$ to $\mathbb{R}$ by the following relation: $K(s,t) = (1-s)t$ if $0 \leq t \leq s \leq 1$ and $K(s,t) = (1-t)s$ otherwise. We denote by $T$ the application defined on $E = C([0,1], \mathbb{R})$, equipped with the norm $\|.\|_2 = \sqrt{\int_0^1 |f(x)|^2 \, dx}$, by the relation: $$\forall f \in E, \quad \forall s \in [0,1], \quad T(f)(s) = \int_0^1 K(s,t) f(t) \, dt$$ Show that if $\lambda \in \sigma_p(T)$ and $f \in \operatorname{Ker}(T - \lambda Id)$, then $f \in C^2([0,1], \mathbb{R})$ and satisfies the equation $$\lambda f'' + f = 0$$ with the conditions $f(0) = f(1) = 0$.

Let $T > 0$ be a real number and $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$ be a natural integer. Let $A : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathscr{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ be an application continuous on $\mathbb{R}$ and $T$-periodic. Let $B \in \mathscr{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ be the matrix such that $M(t+T) = M(t)\exp(TB)$ for all $t$. Consider the differential system $$X'(t) = A(t) X(t) + b(t) \tag{3}$$ where $b : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}^n$ is a continuous function on $\mathbb{R}$ and $T$-periodic. We assume that $1$ is not an eigenvalue of $\exp(TB)$. Show that (3) possesses a unique $T$-periodic solution.

Consider that complex-valued functions $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ satisfy the simultaneous ordinary differential equations below: $$\frac{\mathrm{d}p(x)}{\mathrm{d}x} = -ib\, q(x)\exp(-2iax),$$ $$\frac{\mathrm{d}q(x)}{\mathrm{d}x} = -ib\, p(x)\exp(2iax).$$ Here, $i$ is the imaginary unit, and $a$ and $b$ are real constants. Let $f(x) = p(x)\exp(iax)$ and $g(x) = q(x)\exp(-iax)$.
Let $a = 0.8$ and $b = 0.6$. Solve the simultaneous ordinary differential equations derived in Question II.1 using the initial values $f(0) = 1$ and $g(0) = 0$, and obtain $f(x)$ and $g(x)$.
