Find the orthogonal complement of a subset of $L^2$












2














I can't find the orthogonal of this set $C= left{ u in L^2(0,2): int_0^2 u(t)dt=1 right}$.





By applying the standard definition I have to find some conditions on $v(x)$ such that $int_0^2 u(x)v(x)dx=0$ for every $u in L^2$. I tried to write $v(x)=v(x)+1-1$ in order to use the fact that $u$ belongs to $C$, but I still can't solve the problem. For sure $v(x)=0 in C^{perp}$



Any hint or else would be really appreciated

The orthogonal is trivial.



Indeed, assume $v in C^perp$.



If $int_0^2 v(t),dt ne 0$, then $$int_0^2 frac{v(x)}{int_0^2 v(t),dt},dx = frac{int_0^2 v(x),dx}{int_0^2 v(t),dt} = 1$$
so we have $frac{v}{int_0^2 v(t),dt} in C$. Therefore $v perp frac{v}{int_0^2 v(t),dt}$ which implies $v perp v$ and hence $v = 0$.



If $int_0^2 v(t),dt = 0$, then for any $u in C$ we have $$int_0^2 (u(t) + v(t)),dt = int_0^2 u(t),dt + int_0^2 v(t),dt = 1$$
so $u+v in C$. Hence $v perp u$ and $v perp u+v$ imply $v perp v$. It follows $v = 0$.

Indeed, assume $v in C^perp$.



If $int_0^2 v(t),dt ne 0$, then $$int_0^2 frac{v(x)}{int_0^2 v(t),dt},dx = frac{int_0^2 v(x),dx}{int_0^2 v(t),dt} = 1$$
so we have $frac{v}{int_0^2 v(t),dt} in C$. Therefore $v perp frac{v}{int_0^2 v(t),dt}$ which implies $v perp v$ and hence $v = 0$.



If $int_0^2 v(t),dt = 0$, then for any $u in C$ we have $$int_0^2 (u(t) + v(t)),dt = int_0^2 u(t),dt + int_0^2 v(t),dt = 1$$
so $u+v in C$. Hence $v perp u$ and $v perp u+v$ imply $v perp v$. It follows $v = 0$.
