ABSTRACT

A continuous linear operator T : X → X on an infinite dimensional separable topological vector space X is said to be hypercyclic if there is a vector x in X whose orbit under T , orb(T, x) = {T nx : n ≥ 0} = {x, T x, T 2x, . . .} is dense in X. Such a vector x is said to be a hypercyclic vector for T . While the orbit of a hypercyclic vector goes everywhere in the space, there may be other vectors whose orbits are indeed finite. Such a vector is called a periodic point. More precisely, we say a vector x in X is a periodic point for T if T nx = x for some positive integer n depending on x. The operator T is said to be chaotic if T is hypercyclic and has a dense set of periodic points.
Let M be a closed subspace of a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space H with dim(H/M) = ∞. We say that T : H → H is a chaotic extension of A : M → M if T is chaotic and T |M = A.
In this dissertation, we provide a criterion for the existence of an invertible chaotic extension. Indeed, we show that a bounded linear operator A : M → M has an invertible chaotic extension T : H → H if and only if A is bounded below. Motivated by our result, we further show that A : M → M has a chaotic Fredholm extension T : H → H if and only if A is left semi-Fredholm.
Our further investigation of hypercyclic extension results is on the existence of dual hypercyclic extension. The operator T : H → H is said to be a dual hypercyclic extension of A : M → M if T extends A, and both T : H → H and T ∗ : H → H are hypercyclic. We actually give a complete characterization of the operator having dual hypercyclic extension on a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We show that a bounded linear operator A : M → M has a dual hypercyclic extension T : H → H if and only if its adjoint A∗ : M → M is hypercyclic. iii

HYPERCYCLICITY AND EXTENSION RESULTS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Hypercyclicity is the study of continuous linear operators that possess a dense orbit. Al- though the first examples of hypercyclic operators date back to the first half of the last century, a systematic study of this concept has only been undertaken since the mid-eighties. Seminal papers like the unpublished but widely disseminated thesis of Kitai [21], a highly original and broad investigation by Godefroy and Shapiro [13] and deep operator-theoretic contributions by Herrero [19, 20] were instrumental in creating a flourishing new area of analysis.
Definition 1. A continuous linear operator T : X → X on a separable Fr´echetspace X is said to be hypercyclic if if there is some x ∈ X whose orbit under T , orb(T, x):={T nx : n ≥ 0} = {x, T x, T 2x, . . .}, is dense in X. In such a case, x is called a hypercyclic vector for T . The set of hypercyclic vectors for T is denoted by HC(T ).
The origin of this terminology is easily explained. For a long time, operator theorists 2 have been studying cyclic vectors in connection with the invariant subspace problem. Here, a vector x ∈ X is said to be cyclic for T if the linear span of its orbit, span {T nx : n ≥ 0}, is dense in X. A vector x ∈ X is called supercyclic for T if its projective orbit, {λT nx : n ≥
0, λ ∈ K}, is dense in X. Operators that possess a cyclic (or supercyclic) vector are called cyclic (or supercyclic, respectively). This suggested the name of hypercyclicity for the case when the orbit itself is dense.
The invariant subspace problem, which is open to this day, asks whether every operator on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space possesses an invariant closed subspace other than the trivial ones given by {0} and the whole space. Counterexamples do exist for operators on non-reflexive spaces like `1. Enflo [11] offered a negative solution for a specific Banach space, which was later transferred by Read [27] to an operator on `1 that has every non-zero vector hypercyclic.
1.2 HYPERCYCLIC OPERATORS
The very first example of hypercyclic operator is given by Birkhoff [4]. In 1929, he proved the existence of an entire function f whose successive translates by a non-zero constant a are arbitrarily close to any function in the space of entire functions H(C). That is, there exists an entire function f and a non-zero constant a ∈ C, so that for every g ∈ H(C), the sequence f(z + nka) → g(z) locally uniformly on C, for some sequence {nk} that depends on the function g. Thus, the translation operator Ta has a dense orbit {f(z), f(z +a), f(z +2a),...} in H(C).
MacLane [23], in 1952, gave another example of a hypercyclic operator. He showed that there exists a universal entire function f whose successive derivatives are dense in H(C). Namely, there is an entire function f having the property that for every g ∈ H(C) there
(nk) exists a sequence {nk % ∞} so that f (z) → g(z) locally uniformly in C, and hence the differentiation operator D on H(C) is hypercyclic. 3
Another early example of hypercyclicity was given by Rolewicz [26] in 1969. This was the first example of hypercyclicity for an operator on a Banach space. The setting is the sequence space `p for 1 ≤ p < ∞, and the operator is constructed from the backward shift B defined on `p as follows:
B(x1, x2, x3,...) = (x2, x3,...),
p p p where (x1, x2, x3,...) ∈ ` . B itself is a contraction on ` (kBxk ≤ kxk for each x ∈ ` ), so it cannot be hypercyclic. However, Rolewicz proved that the operator T = λB with λ > 1 is hypercyclic.
The field of hypercyclicity was actually born in 1982 with the Ph.D. dissertation of Kitai [21] and later with the paper of Gethner and Shapiro [12] and in more than two decades since, it has become the focus of active research by numerous authors.
Hypercyclicity is a wide-spread phenomenon in analysis. Perhaps the reason one might expect otherwise lies in the simple realization that finite-dimensional spaces do not support hypercyclic operators. The following result of Kitai [21] clarifies this point.
Theorem 2 (Kitai, [21]). There are no hypercyclic operators on finite dimensional spaces.
On the other hand, Ansari [1] showed that space with some nice structure always support a hypercyclic operator.
Theorem 3 (Ansari, [1]). Every separable, infinite dimensional Fr´echetspace carries a hypercyclic operator.
Finally, we mention here a surprising result of Grivaux [14] which confirms a large supply of hypercyclic operators in spaces with nice structures.
Theorem 4 (Grivaux, [14]). (i) Every operator on a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space is the sum of two hypercyclic operators. 4
(ii) There exists a separable, infinite dimensional Banach space on which not every operator is the sum of two hypercyclic operators.
1.3 HYPERCYCLICITY CRITERION
In this section, we will discuss techniques of showing an operator to be hypercyclic. First, we mention here a theorem by Birkhoff [4] which connects the concept of hypercyclicity to the well known notion of topological transitivity.
Theorem 5 (Birkhoff Transitivity Theorem). Let X be a separable and T : X → X be a continuous linear operator. The following are equivalent:
(i) T is hypercyclic.
(ii) T is topologically transitive: that is, for each pair of non-empty open sets U and V in
X there exists n ∈ N such that T n(U) ∩ V 6= ∅.
The implication (i) =⇒ (ii) holds for an arbitrary topological vector space X, however the converse follows from a direct application of the Baire category theorem, and therefore requires that the space X be a second countable Baire space.
For an invertible operator T , Kitai [21, Corollary 2.2] showed that T is topologically transitive if and only if T −1 is. Thus, a continuous linear operator T on a Fr´echet space is hypercyclic if and only if T −1 is hypercyclic, however T and T −1 may not share the same hypercyclic vectors.
While the theorem by Birkhoff (Theorem 5) characterizes hypercyclic operators, in prac- tice, we use the following very useful Hypercyclicity Criterion to prove that an operator is hypercyclic. The Criterion was first given by Kitai [21] and then later independently by Gethner and Shapiro [12] in more generality. Later, the criterion was proved in even more generality by B`esand Peris [3] which is the following: 5
Theorem 6 (Hypercyclicity Criterion). Let X be a separable Fr´echetspace and T : X → X a continuous linear operator. If there exists a sequence nk % ∞, two dense sets D1 and D2
and a sequence of maps Snk : D2 → X such that
nk (i) T x → 0 for all x ∈ D1,
(ii) Snk y → 0 for all y ∈ D2,
nk (iii) T Snk y → y for all y ∈ D2, then T is hypercyclic and we say T satisfies the Hypercyclicity Criterion.
For a long time, it was not known whether the above condition was necessary. In 2009, De La Rosa and Read [10] answered the question in the negative by constructing an operator T that is hypercyclic but does not satisfy the Hypercyclicity Criterion. Nevertheless, one should not underestimate the importance of the above theorem, as nearly all known hypercyclic operators were shown to have this property by using this criterion.
1.4 HYPERCYCLIC VECTORS
It is clear that the orbit of any vector under the identity operator consists only of the point itself. This means that identity operator is not hypercyclic and therefore has no hypercyclic vector. However, if an operator T : X → X has a hypercyclic vector x, then there are plenty of supply of hypercyclic vectors for the same operator T . Precisely speaking, each of the vector of the form T nx where n = 0, 1, 2,... is a hypercyclic vector for T . That is the set of hypercyclic vectors of a hypercyclic operator T is a big set in a topological sense, and the following theorem summarizes this.
Theorem 7 (Kitai, [21]). Suppose X is a separable Fr´echetspace and T : X → X a continuous linear operator. If T is hypercyclic, then its set of hypercyclic vectors HC(T ) is a dense Gδ set. 6
Since both HC(T ) and x − HC(T ) are dense Gδ sets, their intersection is nonempty by Baire Category Theorem. This immediately implies the following result which tells that the set of hypercyclic vectors is also algebraically large.
Theorem 8. [18] If X is a separable Fr´echetspace and T : X → X is a hypercyclic operator, then X = HC(T ) + HC(T ).
1.5 HYPERCYCLIC EXTENSION OF OPERATORS
In this dissertation, we investigate the hypercyclic extension of an operator on a closed sub- space of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. For this, we let H be an infinite dimensional, separable Hilbert spaces and M be a closed subspace of H with infinite codimension, that is, dim(H/M) = ∞.
In section 2.2 (Theorem 10), we show the construction of an invertible chaotic exten- sion. Later in Corollary 12, we give a characterization of restrictions of invertible chaotic extensions on their closed invariant subspaces. Our further investigation of the hypercyclic extensions results provides the complete characterization of the restriction of the dual hy- percyclic operators on closed invariant subspaces (see Theorem 19 on section 3.3). 7
CHAPTER 2
RESTRICTIONS OF AN INVERTIBLE CHAOTIC OPERATOR TO ITS INVARIANT SUBSPACES
2.1 INTRODUCTION
We recall from Definition 1 that a bounded linear operator T : H → H on a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space H is said to be hypercyclic if there is a vector h in H such that its orbit orb(T , h):= {h, T h, T 2h, . . .} is dense in H. Such a vector h is called a hypercyclic vector for T . While the orbit of a hypercyclic vector goes “everywhere” in the Hilbert space, there may be other vectors whose orbits are indeed finite. Such a vector is called a periodic point. More precisely, we say a vector h in H is a periodic point for T if T nh = h for some positive integer n depending on h. The operator T is said to be chaotic if T is hypercyclic and has a dense set of periodic points. 8
A closed subspace M of H is said to be an invariant subspace for T if TM ⊂ M. In the present chapter, we study the prescribed behavior of a chaotic or hypercyclic operator T on its invariant subspace M. To facilitate a deeper discussion, we introduce the following definition for a bounded linear operator A : M → M on a closed subpsace M of H.A bounded linear operator T : H → H is said to be a hypercyclic extension of A, if T is hypercyclic and T |M = A. If in addition, the set of periodic points of T is dense in H, then T is said to be a chaotic extension of A.
Grivaux [15, Prop 1] and Chan and Turcu [9, Theorem 2] showed that if M has infinite codimension in H, then any operator A : M → M has a chaotic extension T : H → H. They proved the result using different techniques but the extension T they obtained are the same. To be more precise, Grivaux [15] used the analytic function theory techniques to construct an extension T which satisfies the hypothesis of a hypercyclicity result of Godefroy and Shapiro
[13]: If H+(T ) = span {ker(T − λI): |λ| > 1}, and H−(T ) = span {ker(T − λI): |λ| < 1} are dense subspaces of H, then T is hypercyclic.
Chan and Turcu [9] used elementary Hilbert space techniques to show their extension T has an additional property that it satisfies the Hypercyclicity Criterion in the strongest form as stated in Theorem 9 below. However, an operator T constructed using the above result involving H+(T ) and H−(T ) is not guaranteed to have that property.
As an important part of the Hypercyclicity Criterion, Chan and Turcu’s result provides us with a chaotic extension T which is right invertible by its design but it must have a nontrivial kernel (see [9, p. 417]). Thus their extension T is never invertible regardless of what further assumption we make on the operator A. This naturally leads to a question whether we can construct an invertible chaotic extension T : H → H, particularly when A itself is invertible. In that regard, we observe that if T has a left inverse S, then SA = Id on M and hence A is bounded below. In Section 2.2, we show that the converse also holds true. That is, if A is bounded below on M, we construct an invertible chaotic extension T for A; 9 see Corollary 12 below. To show that, we first construct a right invertible chaotic extension T for an operator A having a closed range so that ker T = ker A; see Theorem 10 below. Since it is important for A and T to have the same kernel, our techniques are different from those in [9] and [15].
Motivated by our above results on invertibility and chaotic extension, we further study in Section 2.3 the invertibility of the operator in the Calkin algebra, on the Fredholm operators. Specifically, we show that A : M → M has a chaotic Fredholm extension T : H → H if and only if A is left semi-Fredholm. Lastly in Section 2.4, we show that the right invertible chaotic extension T : H → H in Theorem 10 can be constructed to have a hypercyclic subspace.
2.2 INVERTIBILITY OF A CHAOTIC EXTENSION
The Hypercyclicity Criterion plays a key role in the main theorem [Theorem 10] of this chapter. Kitai [21] in 1982 gave the first and simplest version of the Criterion. Later in 1987, Gethner and Shapiro [12] rediscovered the Criterion in much greater generality. Since then hypercyclicity has been attracting a lot of attention as a hot research area. We exhibit in Theorem 10 a chaotic extension that satisfies the Criterion in the strongest possible sense. We now state the version of the Criterion, which is a particular case of Theorem 6, here for the sake of completeness.
Theorem 9 (Kitai [21]; Gethner and Shapiro [12]). A bounded linear operator T : H → H is hypercyclic if there is a map (not necessarily bounded and linear) S : H → H such that TS = Identity, and if there is a dense subset D of H such that T nx → 0, and Snx → 0 for each vector x in D.
We are now ready to state and prove the main result of the present chapter. We first remark that Chan and Turcu [9, Prop 1] showed that no bounded linear operator A : M → M 10 on a nontrivial closed subspace M of H with dim(H/M) < ∞ can have a hypercyclic extension T to H. Hence, we have to assume dim(H/M) = ∞ in order to construct a hypercyclic extension T on H.
Theorem 10. Let H be a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space, and M be a closed subpace of H with dim(H/M) = ∞. Every bounded linear operator A : M → M with a closed range has a right invertible chaotic extension T : H → H with ker A = ker T that satisfies the hypothesis of Theorem 9.
Proof. First we note that ranA is a closed subspace of M and so M is an orthogonal sum M = ranA ⊕ (ranA)⊥. In the rest of the proof, we use the symbol ⊕ to denote an orthogonal sum of closed subspaces or an orthogonal sum of vectors. Since M has infinite codimension M in H, we can rename M as M0 and write H as an orthogonal sum Mj where for each j∈Z j ≥ 0, Mj is isomorphic to M, and furthermore for each j < 0, Mj is isomorphic to ranA.
0 00 0 Hence for each j ∈ Z, we can write Mj = Mj ⊕ Mj where each Mj is isomorphic to ranA,
00 ⊥ 00 and if j ≥ 0 then Mj is isomorphic to (ranA) , and if j < 0 then Mj = {0}. Thus, we can M 0 00 write H as the sum Mj ⊕ Mj . j∈Z Each vector h in H is written as
h = hj = . . . , h−2, h−1, h0, h1, h2,... , |{z}
where each hj ∈ Mj and the symbol “ ” indicates the zeroth component; that is, the |{z} 0 00 00 vector in M0. Since Mj = Mj ⊕ Mj for each j ∈ Z, and indeed Mj = {0} whenever j < 0, we can re-write h as
0 0 h = hj = . . . , h−2, h−1, h0, h1, h2,... , |{z}
0 0 where hj ∈ Mj = Mj for each j < 0.
⊥ Since A : M → M is bounded linear, the restriction map A|(ker A)⊥ : (ker A) → ranA 11 is invertible, that is, there exists a bounded linear operator B : ranA → (ker A)⊥ such that AB is the identity on ranA.
Let α > max{1, kAk, kBk}. By additively decomposing each vector hj in Mj as the vector
0 00 0 00 0 hj ⊕ hj in Mj ⊕ Mj , and by suppressing the symbols for the isomorphisms between Mi and
0 00 00 Mj for all integers i, j, and also the isomorphisms between Mi and Mj for all non-negative integers i, j, we can define T : H → H by
0 0 h−2 h−1 0 T h = T h = ..., , , αh1, Ah0 + αh1, αh2, αh3, αh4 ... . j α α | {z }
Equivalently, 1 h0 if j ≤ −2 α j+1 0 αh1 if j = −1 T h j = Ah + αh if j = 0 0 1 αhj+1 if j ≥ 1.
Hence by our identification of the given subspace M with M0, and the above formula for T ,
we see that T |M = A. One can easily verify that T is bounded linear.
We now prove that T is bounded linear. For linearity, we observe that if h, k are in H, and β is a scalar, then
0 0 0 0 βh + k = . . . , βh−2 + k−2, βh−1 + k−1, βh0 + k0, βh1 + k1, βh2 + k2,... | {z }
so that
βT h + T k 0 0 h−1 0 k−1 0 = β ..., , αh1, Ah0 + αh1, αh2, αh3,... + ..., , αk1, Ak0 + αk1, αk2, αk3,... α | {z } α | {z } 0 0 βh−1 + k−1 0 0 = ..., , α(βh1 + k1),A(βh0 + k0) + α(βh1 + k1), α(βh2 + k2), α(βh3 + k3),... α | {z } = T (βh + k). 12
To show T is bounded we observe that
∞ 0 2 ∞ 2 2 0 2 X h−j X 2 kT hk = kAh0 + αh1k + kαh k + + kαhjk 1 α j=1 j=2 ∞ ∞ 2 2 0 2 1 X 0 2 2 X 2 ≤ 2 kAh0k + 2 kαh1k + kαh k + h + α khjk 1 α2 −j j=1 j=2 ∞ ∞ 2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 X 0 2 2 X 2 ≤ 2 kAk kh0k + 2α kh1k + 2α kh1k + 2α h−j + 2α khjk j=1 j=2
2 2 0 2 ≤ 2α khk + kh1k
≤ 2α2 khk2 + khk2
≤ 4α2khk2.
We now show that ker A = ker T . If x0 ∈ M0 with Ax0 = 0, then T x0 = Ax0 = 0 and so ker A ⊂ ker T . On the other hand, if h = hj ∈ H with T h = 0, then
0 h1 = 0
0 hj = 0 for j = −1, −2, −3 ...
hj = 0 for j = 2, 3,...
Ah0 + αh1 = 0.
0 00 Since Ah0 + αh1 is in M0, and h1 = 0, we see that Ah0 + αh1 = 0. Observe that Ah0 ∈
00 ⊥ 00 ranA ⊂ M0, and αh1 ∈ (ranA) ⊂ M0, and so we get Ah0 = 0 and αh1 = 0. Therefore, if
h ∈ ker T , then h = h0 ∈ ker A.
We now turn our attention to showing that T is right invertible and satisfies the hypoth- esis of the Theorem 9. Define S : H → H using the operator B : ranA → (ker A)⊥ with AB = I on ranA as follows:
0 0 0 0 0 1 0 00 1 1 Sh = Sh j = . . . , αh−4, αh−3, αh−2,B h0 − h−1 , h−1 ⊕ h0 , h1, h2,... . | {z } α α α 13
Equivalently, α h0 if j ≤ −1 j−1 0 0 B h0 − h−1 if j = 0 Sh j = 1 h0 ⊕ h00 if j = 1 α −1 0 1 α hj−1 if j ≥ 2. It is easy to check that T Sh = h for any h ∈ H. Indeed,
T Sh 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 00 1 1 = T . . . , αh−4, αh−3, αh−2,B h0 − h−1 , α h−1 ⊕ h0 , αh1, αh2,... | {z } αh0 αh0 αh0 h0 ⊕ h00 α α α = ..., −3 , −2 , −1 , AB h0 − h0 + α −1 0 , h , h , h ,... α α α 0 −1 α α 1 α 2 α 3 | {z } = h.
Thus, T is right invertible. To create a dense set D stated in Theorem 9, we first let ∆0 be a countable dense subset of ranA, and ∆00 be a countable dense set of (ranA)⊥. Then,
0 00 0 ∆ = ∆ + ∆ is a countable dense set in M = M0. Via the isomorphism between Mj and
0 0 0 0 ran A, the isomorphic copy ∆j in Mj of ∆ is dense in Mj for each j ∈ Z. Similarly, the
00 00 00 00 00 isomorphic copy ∆j in Mj of ∆ is dense in Mj for each j ≥ 0. By letting ∆j = {0} if
0 00 j < 0, and letting ∆j = ∆j + ∆j for each j ∈ Z, we define
0 0 C = ..., 0, 0, 0, d−k, . . . , d−1, d0, d1, . . . , dk, 0, 0, 0,... : dj ∈ ∆j and k ≥ 1 . |{z}
By the density of ∆j in Mj and the fact that the norm of h = (hj) in H is given by ∞ 2 X 2 khk = khjk , one can easily show that C is dense in H. To prove this, let h = j=−∞ 0 0 . . . , h−2, h−1, h0, h1, h2,... be a vector in H. Let ε > 0 be given. There exists a k ∈ N |{z} such that ∞ 2 X 0 2 2 ε h + khjk < −j 2 j=k+1 14
Since ∆ = ∆0 + ∆00 is dense in M = ranA ⊕ (ranA)⊥, so by the isomorphism, there is a dense
0 00 0 00 subset ∆j = ∆j + ∆j of Mj = Mj ⊕ Mj for each j ∈ Z. So, for −k ≤ j ≤ −1 there is a
0 0 dj ∈ ∆j such that 2 0 0 2 ε h − d < j j 4k
and for 0 ≤ j ≤ k we can find a dj ∈ ∆j such that
ε2 kh − d k2 < j j 4 (k + 1)
So, if we write 0 0 w = ..., 0, d−k, . . . , d−1, d0, d1, . . . , dk, 0,... , |{z} then w is in C, and it satisfies
−1 k ∞ 2 X 0 0 2 X 2 X 0 2 2 kw − hk = hj − dj + khj − djk + h−j + khjk j=−k j=0 j=k+1 ε2 ε2 ε2 < k + (k + 1) + 4k 4 (k + 1) 2 = ε2,
which proves the density of C in H.
Let k ∈ N. Consider the following vector x in C given by
0 0 x = ..., 0, 0, 0, d−k, . . . , d−1, d0, d1, . . . , dk, 0, 0, 0,... . |{z}
Observe that for the same integer k, we can write
k k k k k k k T x = T x j = ..., T x −2 , T x −1 , T x 0, T x 1 , T x 2 ,... , | {z } 15 where 0 if j ≤ −2k − 1 α−k d0 if −2k ≤ j ≤ −k − 1 j+k 2j+k+2 0 k α dj+k+1 if −k ≤ j ≤ −1 T x j = k X i k−i α A di if j = 0 i=0 0 if j ≥ 1.
Now, for any m > k, by applying the operator T repeatedly on the vector x we see that the
m m−k k m components of the vector T x = T T x = (T x)j is given by
0 if j ≤ −m − k − 1 α−m d0 if −m − k ≤ j ≤ −m − 1 j+m 2j+m+2 0 α dj+m+1 if −m ≤ j ≤ −m + k − 1 m (2.1) (T x)j = 0 if −m + k ≤ j ≤ −1 k X i m−i α A di if j = 0 i=0 0 if j ≥ 1.
Now, we let P : M → M denote the orthogonal projections onto ran A. Then we use the operator S on the vector x successively k times to get the vector Skx, which is of the form (2.2) k k S x = S x j k k k k = ..., 0, 0, 0, S x 0 , S x 1 , S x 2 ,..., 0, S x 2k , 0, 0, 0,... . | {z } 16
Here we claim that for 1 ≤ j ≤ k, we have

1 We prove this claim by induction. Indeed, for j = 1, the above formula provides (S x)0 = 0 0 B d0 − d−1 , which is true. Assume that (2.3) holds for some integer j = q < k, that is, assume that " q−1 # q q−1 0 X i q−1−i 0 (S x)0 = B (PB) d0 − α (PB) d−i−1 i=0 holds. Then for j = q + 1, we verify that
q+1 q (S x)0 = S (S x) 0 q q = B P (S x)0 − (S x)−1
" q−1 # q 0 X i q−i 0 q 0 = B (PB) d0 − α (PB) d−i−1 − α d−q−1 i=0 " q # q 0 X i q−i 0 = B (PB) d0 − α (PB) d−i−1 , i=0
proving the claim.
