Problem 1.
Let f be a C 3 (R) non-negative function, f (0)=f 0 (0)=0, 0 < f 00 (0).
Let

2(f 0 )2 f
where
f (x) = cx2 + O(x3 ), f 0 (x) = 2cx + O(x2 ), f 00 (x) = 2c + O(x).
Therefore (f 0 (x))2 = 4c2 x2 + O(x3 ),
2f (x)f 00 (x) = 4c2 x2 + O(x3 )

Now we have to prove that

It suffices to consider = 0.
We show that an = sin (log n) does not

f (A.B) = f (B.A)
for any A, B Mn . Prove that there exists R such that f (A) = .tr(A).
Solution.
a) If we denote by Eij the standard basis of Mn consisting of elementary
matrix (with entry 1 at the place (i, j) and zero elsewhere), then the entries
cij of C can be defined by cij = f (Eji ). b) Denote by L the n2 1-dimensional
linear subspace of Mn consisting of all matrices with zero trace. The elements
Eij with i 6= j and the elements Eii Enn , i = 1, . . . , n 1 form a linear basis
for L. Since
Eij = Eij .Ejj Ejj .Eij , i 6= j
Eii Enn = Ein .Eni Eni .Ein , i = 1, . . . , n 1,
then the property (2) shows that f is vanishing identically on L. Now, for

any A Mn we have A tr(A).E L, where E is the identity matrix, and

therefore f (A) = f (E).tr(A).

Problem 5.
Let X be an arbitrary set, let f be an one-to-one function mapping
X onto itself. Prove that there exist mappings g 1 , g2 : X X such that
f = g1 g2 and g1 g1 = id = g2 g2 , where id denotes the identity mapping
on X.
Solution.
