Nature of a certian Ideal
|
|
|
consider the Ideal
I={set of all continous functions form R to R vanishing at 'a' , a fixed point }
in the ring of continous functions form R to R. with addition and multiplication being point wise.
R= set of real numbers
Is I principal?
Thank You. |

I = { f in C(R,R) | f(a) = 0 }

Some g with for all f, |
f(a) = 0 iff some h in C(R,R) with f = g*h ?
No. Notice g(a) = 0, sqr g in I.
some h with sqr g = g * h
h = (sqr g)/g is not continuous. |

One would have to have some fixed function f:R --> R with f in I so that
for every g in I, g = h*f for some h in the ring.
But for every such g, one would have to have that g/f must have a finite
limit as x --> a.
Consider g = real cube root of f,so g will be in I whenever f is in I.
What is lim_{x --> a} g(x)/f(x) like? |

No. If g is in I (and g is non-zero except at a) then there exists
f in I such that f/g -> infinity at a, hence f is not in the ideal
generated by g.
