Let T : V → V be a linear operator on an n-dimensional F-vector space V. For any n E N+, we
define Tn.=T•T•…•T (n times) and To.=Iv,where Iv denotes the identity operator on V. Let v E V
be any non-zero vector.
i. Prove that there is a positive ksn such that T k(v) = aoT o(v)+a1T 1(v)+ …+ak-1Tk-1(v) for
some ao,a1,...,ak-1EF.
ii. Let kv denote the smallest number satisfying part (i), i.e. kv is the smallest positive natural
number n such that T k- (v) = aoT o(v) + aiT 1(v) + … + ak-iT kr-1(v) for some ao,a1,..,ak-1EF.
Prove that a .= T 0(v),T 1(v),...,T kv-1(v) is linearly independent.
