Exercise 8.A.21

Answers

Proof. Let W = 𝔽× 𝔽 and define T L(W) by

T((x1,x2,x3,),(y1,y2,y3,)) = ((x2,x3,),(0,y1,y2,y3,)),

that is, T applies the backward shift operator (call it B) on the first slot and forward shift operator (call it F) on the second slot. Thus, for each positive integer k, we have

null Bk = {(x 1,x2,x3, ) 𝔽 : x j = 0 for all j > k}

and

range Fk = {(x 1,x2,x3, ) 𝔽 : x 1 = x2 = = xk = 0}.

Moreover range Bk = 𝔽 and null Fk = {0}. Note that null Bk null Bk+1 and range Fk range Fk+1. Thus

null Tk = {(x,0) 𝔽× 𝔽 : x null Bk}

and

range Tk = {(x,y) 𝔽× 𝔽 : y range Tk}.

Hence null Tk null Tk+1 and range Tk range Tk+1. □
