b
For every h∈L2[0,1], the continuous linear functional induced by the inner product gives
⟨U,h⟩=ξ1​⟨φ1​,h⟩+ξ2​⟨φ2​,h⟩.
(1)
This is a normal random variable because it is a linear combination of independent normal random variables. Hence the law of U is a Gaussian measure. Its mean is zero, and independence together with Var(ξi​)=1/2 gives
E[⟨U,h⟩⟨U,g⟩]=21​⟨φ1​,h⟩⟨φ1​,g⟩+21​⟨φ2​,h⟩⟨φ2​,g⟩.
(2)
Thus its covariance operator of a Gaussian measure is
Ch=21​⟨φ1​,h⟩φ1​+21​⟨φ2​,h⟩φ2​​.
