On linear operators

#1

Post by Riemann »

Let $\alpha \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\} $ and suppose that $F ,G$ are linear operators from $\mathbb{R}^n$ into $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying

\begin{equation*}F\circ G - G \circ F =\alpha F \end{equation*}
  1. Show that for all k \in \mathbb{N} one has

    \[F^k \circ G - G \circ F ^k= \alpha k F^k\]
  2. Show that there exists k \geq 1 such that F^k =0
    .
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}= \prod_{p \; \text{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$
