Indicate whether each of the statements below are true or false. Let l > 0. The orthogonal set: {sin(n pi x/t)}^infinity_n=1 is complete in L^2([0, l]). Let l > 0. The orthogonal set: {sin(n pi x/l)}^infinity_n=1 is complete in L^2([-l, l]).

Solution

Both d) and e) are FALSE.

Let S denote the given set of vectors (in either case).

If S were complete, there does not exist any non-zero vector (function) which is orthogonal to all the vectos in S.

But the function 1(constant function 1) , and all the cosine functions are orthogonal to S.

Hence S is not complete
