(4)A Matrix and Its Adjugate
Consider A∈M2020(C) such that
(1){A+A×=I2020,A⋅A×=I2020,
where A× is the adjugate matrix of A, i.e., the matrix whose elements are aij=(−1)i+jdji, where dji is the determinant obtained from A, eliminating the line j and the column i.
Find the maximum number of matrices verifying (1) such that any two of them are not similar. SEEMOUS 2020 P4
Consider 0<a<T, D=R\{kT+a∣k∈Z}, and let f:D→R a T−periodic and differentiable function which satisfies f′>1 on (0,a) and
f(0)=0,x→ax<alimf(x)=+∞ and x→ax<alimf2(x)f′(x)=1.[*]Prove that for every n∈N∗, the equation f(x)=x has a unique solution in the interval (nT,nT+a) , denoted xn.[/*]
[*]Let yn=nT+a−xn and zn=∫0ynf(x)dx. Prove that limn→∞yn=0 and study the convergence of the series ∑n=1∞yn and ∑n=1nzn.
