(a) The vector space of all square-integrable functions is Hilbert space,

given the function:

f (x) = xν

apply the normalization to get:

1 ∣ 1
1 1
⟨f ∣f ⟩ = ∫ x2ν dx = x2ν+1 = (1 − 02ν+1 )
2ν + 1 2ν + 1
​ ​ ​ ​ ​

0 ∣0
now ⟨f ∣f ⟩ is finite only if 02ν+1 is finite, the value of 02ν+1 is zero,
excepts if 2ν + 1 is less than zero, the function become infinite. Provided,

(2ν + 1) > 0

the function f (x) = xv in Hilbert space, thus:

(b) From part (a), for ν = 12 > − 12 , f (x) is in Hilbert space, and xf (x)
​ ​

is Hilbert space also, but f ′ (x) is not. For xf (x) = xν+1 , we have:

1 ∣ 1
⟨f ∣f ⟩ = ∫ x2ν+2 dx = x2ν+3 = (1 − 02ν+3 )
2ν + 3 2ν + 1

0 ∣0
which is in Hilbert space for ν = 12 . Now for f ′ (x) = vxν−1 , we have:
​

⟨f ∣f ⟩ = v ∫ 2

dx = x2ν−1

for ν = 2 the lower limit of the integration gives us

therefore f (x) is not in the Hilbert space.
