Homework Statement


X is a Banach space
S\in B(X) (Bounded linear transformation from X to X)
T\in K(X) (Compact bounded linear transformation from X to X)

S(I-T)=I if and only if (I-T)S=I

The question also asks to show that either of these equalities implies that I-(I-T)^{-1} is compact.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have tried using the adjoint, cause S is invertible if and only if S* is invertible. but that didn't get me anywhere.

If there happens to be a theorem that says ST = TS, then it would be easy, but i couldn't find anything like that. For the second part:
S(I-T)=I\Rightarrow S-ST=I \Rightarrow S=I+ST
I-(I-T)^{-1} = I-S = I-(I+ST) = ST
And ST is compact since T is compact

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
