compute the norm of a linear operator












0












$begingroup$


good morning everyone,
I am preparing my functional analysis exam and I can't resolve this exercise:



Let $$ H = L^2([0, 3])$$ and let T : H → H be defined by



$$Tu(t) = (1 + t^2)u(t)$$



i) Prove that T is linear and continuous and compute its norm.



I find out that the norm of T is lower than 10 but I cannot show that It is greater or equal than 10 to conclude that it is actually equal to 10.
can anyone help me?



thank you in advance

    @whowho You don't need Holder. Just write down norm square of $Tu$ and pull out the maximum of $(1+t^{2})^{2}$.

Let $u_n(t)=sqrt nI_{(3-frac 1 n,3)}$. Then $|u_n|=1$ for all $n$. Now $|Tu_n|^{2}=nint _{3-1/n} ^{3} (1+t^{2})^{2} , dt to 100$ so $|T| geq 10$. As you have already noted the bound $(1+t^{2})^{2} leq 100$ gives the opposite inequality.

    Thank you very much. The exercise also ask to show that T is compact. To do so, I am trying to show that it is weak-strong continuous, since L2 is reflexive, but I don't think it will work because I can't manage to demonstrate the strong convergence in L2. Do you suggest other ways?

    @whowho $T$ is not compact. If ${e_n}$ is an orthonormal basis for $L^{2}[0,3]$ then it is easy to see (using the fact that $1+t^{2} geq 1$) that no subsequence of ${Te_n}$ is Cauchy in the norm.
