I was working on a problem when I made the following reasoning.
I know that every linear operator T:V⟶V on a Hilbert space (V,⟨.,.⟩) such that dim(V)<∞ has one (unique) adjoint operator T∗:V⟶V (that is, ⟨Tu,v⟩=⟨u,T∗v⟩ ∀u,v∈V).
So if V:=Pn is the space of all polynomials with degree less than or equal to n∈N (which gives dim(V)=n+1<∞) and ⟨f,g⟩:=∫10f(t)g(t)dt, what is the adjoint of the derivative operator T=ddt?
I've tried to solve that, but still to no avail. I wonder if that is a silly question, but I haven't had any success searching for the answer either, so I apologize in advance if that's the case.
