Hello MHB,
Solve the following system of linear differential equation
$$f'=f-g$$
$$g'=f+g$$

with bounded limit $$f(0)=0$$, $$g(0)=1$$
could anyone check if My answer is correct? Just to make sure I understand correctly!
ps we get $$\lambda=1-i$$ and $$\lambda=1+i$$

Your solution is $f(t)=-\sin t,\;g(t)=\cos t.$ But the equality $f'(t)=f(t)-g(t)$ is not satisfied.

First thing to say here is that you never need to ask whether your answer to a differential equation is correct – you can check it for yourself! Your answer here (with $c_1=0$ and $c_1=1$) is $f(x) = -\sin t$ and $g(x) = \cos t$. Is that correct? To see whether it is, go back to the original equations. One of them says that $f' = f-g$. If your answer is correct then $f'(t) = -\cos t$ and $f(t) - g(t) = -\sin t - \cos t$. Those are not the same, so your answer cannot be right.

Your eigenvalues $$\lambda=1-i$$ and $$\lambda=1+i$$ are correct, but you must have gone wrong in calculating the eigenvectors.

Edit. Fernando Revilla got there first, but I'll leave my comment anyway, since it slightly amplifies what he said.
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
