need example, intersection R(T) is not equal to {0}
Hi,
I would like some help with the following problem:
Find a vector space V and a linear transformation T: V .... V such that V = N(T) + R(T) and N(T) intersection R(T) is not equal to {0}
(V cant be finite dimensional)

Thank you.

Thank you.

What precisely do you mean by N(T) and R(T)?

Hi,
null space (kernel) N(T),
range (image) R(T).
Thank you

$V:=\left\{ \left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^\infty \slash\,\,a_n \in \mathbb{R}\,,\,\,\forall n\in\mathbb{N}\right\}\,,\,\,T:V\rightarrow V\,,\,\,T\left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^\infty =\left\{a_2,0,0...\right\}$

$\mbox{Try now to find a very simple vector that is both in }N(T)\mbox{ and in }R(T)$

@Tonio - Haven't really followed your definition of V. Would you mind giving a quick example of a vector in V. Thanks

Thank you very much.
I could not follow the definition.

Hmmm...V is the real vec. space of all real sequences, with addition defined by $\left\{a_n\right\}+\left\{b_n\right\}=\left\{a_n+b _n\right\}$ and multiplcation by scalar defined by $k\cdot \left\{a_n\right\}=\left\{ka_n\right\}\,,\,\,with\ ,\,k \in \mathbb{R}$

This is fairly well-known nice example of infinite dimensional v.s. You can also focus on the v.s. of all convergent sequences, of all convergent to zero sequences, etc.

Thank you very much! I appreciate your help!
