Manipulating Inner Products

Problem 1

Show that if u, v, and w are energy-limited complex signals, then

hu + v, 3u + v + iwi = 3 kuk22 + kvk22 + hu, vi + 3 hu, vi i hu, wi i hv, wi .

Orthogonality to All Signals

Problem 2
Let u be an energy-limited signal. Show that



u 0 hu, vi = 0,


v L2 .

Finite-Energy Signals

Problem 3
Let x be an energy-limited signal.

(i) Show that, for every t0 R, the signal t 7 x(t t0 ) must also be energy-limited.
(ii) Show that the reflection of x is also energy-limited. I.e., show that the signal ~x that maps t
to x(t) is energy-limited.
(iii) How are the energies in t 7 x(t), t 7 x(t t0 ), and t 7 x(t) related?

Truncated Polynomials

Problem 5

Consider the signals u : t 7 (t + 2) I{0 t 1} and v : t 7 (t2 2t 3) I{0 t 1}. Compute

the energies kuk22 & kvk22 and the inner product hu, vi.
