Proof. It obviously suffices to prove the lemma when \( {c}_{1} = 0,{c}_{2} = 1 \) and when \( {c}_{1} = 1,{c}_{2} = 0 \) . By the symmetry of the hypotheses on \( {x}_{1} \) and \( {x}_{2} \), we consider only the case \( {c}_{1} = 1,{c}_{2} = 0 \) . We begin by remarking that \( A \) contains a special function \( s ...

Theorem 3. (Stone \( {}^{8} \) ). Let \( A \) be an algebra of continuous real-valued functions defined on a compact set \( K \) . If \( A \) separates the points of \( K \) and does not vanish on \( K \), then \( A \) is an everywhere-dense subspace of \( C\left( {K,\mathbb{R}}\right) \) .

Proof. We shall verify directly that if \( {y}_{0} \in \left\lbrack {c, d}\right\rbrack \), then \( {F}^{\prime }\left( {y}_{0}\right) \) can be computed by formula (17.5):\n\n\[ \n\left| {F\left( {{y}_{0} + h}\right) - F\left( {y}_{0}\right) - \left( {{\int }_{a}^{b}\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\left( {x,{y}_{0}}\righ...

Indeed, if \( y \geq {y}_{0} > 0 \), then \[ 0 \leq {\int }_{b}^{+\infty }{\mathrm{e}}^{-{xy}}\mathrm{\;d}x = \frac{1}{y}{\mathrm{e}}^{-{by}} \leq \frac{1}{{y}_{0}}{\mathrm{e}}^{-b{y}_{0}} \rightarrow 0\text{ as }b \rightarrow + \infty . \]

Proposition 1. (Cauchy criterion). A necessary and sufficient condition for the improper integral (17.10) depending on the parameter \( y \in Y \) to converge uniformly on a set \( E \subset Y \) is that for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) there exist a neighborhood \( {U}_{\lbrack a,\omega \lbrack }\left( \omega \right) \...

since \( \left| \frac{\cos {\alpha x}}{1 + {x}^{2}}\right| \leq \frac{1}{1 + {x}^{2}} \), and the integral \( {\int }_{0}^{\infty }\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{1 + {x}^{2}} \) converges.

The role of the parameter in this last integral is played by the variable point \( y \in {\mathbb{R}}^{3} \).

We remark that for \( \alpha \neq \beta \)\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{0}^{l}\sin {\alpha x}\sin {\beta x}\mathrm{\;d}x = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{\sin \left( {\alpha - \beta }\right) l}{\alpha - \beta } - \frac{\sin \left( {\alpha + \beta }\right) l}{\alpha + \beta }}\right) =\n\]\n\n\[ \n= \cos {\alpha l}\cos {\beta l} \cdot \f...
Hence, if \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are such that \( \frac{\tan {\alpha l}}{\alpha } = \frac{\tan {\beta l}}{\beta } \), the original integral equals zero. Consequently, if \( {\xi }_{1} < {\xi }_{2} < \cdots < {\xi }_{n} < \cdots \) is a sequence of roots of the equation \( \tan {\xi l} = {c\xi } \), where \( c \) ...

The process of orthogonalizing the linearly independent system \( \left\{ {1, x,{x}^{2},\ldots }\right\} \) in \( {\mathcal{R}}_{2}\left( {\left\lbrack {-1,1}\right\rbrack ,\mathbb{R}}\right) \) leads to the system of orthogonal polynomials known as the Legendre polynomials.
One can verify by direct computation that these polynomials are orthogonal on the closed interval \( \left\lbrack {-1,1}\right\rbrack \) . Taking Rodrigues’ formula as the definition of the polynomial \( {P}_{n}\left( x\right) \), let us verify that the system of Legendre polynomials \( \left\{ {{P}_{n}\left( x\right) ...

Let us set \( f\left( x\right) = x \) . Then \( {a}_{k} = 0, k = 0,1,2,\ldots \), and \( {b}_{k} = {\left( -1\right) }^{k + 1}\frac{2}{k} \) , \( k = 1,2,\ldots \) .

let us assume that we have an arbitrary system of linearly independent vectors \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n} \) in \( X \) and are seeking the best approximation of a given vector \( x \in X \) by linear combinations \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 1}}^{n}{\alpha }_{k}{x}_{k} \) of vectors of the system.
Since we can use the orthogonalization process to construct an orthonormal system \( {e}_{1},\ldots ,{e}_{n} \) that generates the same space \( L \) that is generated by the vectors \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n} \), we can conclude from the extremal property of the Fourier coefficients that there exists a unique vector \...

Example 12.

We note that the vector \( {e}_{0} = \left( {1,0,0,\ldots }\right) \) obviously cannot be obtained as a finite linear combination of vectors in the system \( e,{e}_{1},{e}_{2},\ldots \) , and therefore it does not belong to \( X \) .

If a function is piecewise continuously differentiable on a closed interval, then it satisfies the Hölder conditions with exponent \( \alpha = 1 \) at every point of the interval.
as follows from Lagrange’s finite-increment (mean-value) theorem. Hence, by Example 1, such a function satisfies Dini's conditions at every point of the interval. At the endpoints of the interval, of course only the corresponding one-sided pair of Dini's conditions needs to be verified.
