Proof of non-strictly convexity of $l_1$ and $l_{\infty}$

Given the Banach space $l_p = \left\{f\in R^n : \|f\| \leq \infty\right\}$ for $1\leq p \leq \infty$, we define the following norms $\|f\|_p = \left(\displaystyle\sum_{j=0}^{\infty} ...

Example of two norms on same space, non-equivalent, with one dominating the other

I am looking for an example (with proof) of two norms defined on the same vector space, such that the norms on the two spaces are NOT equivalent, but such that one norm dominates the other...

On the norm of a quotient of a Banach space.

Let $E$ be a Banach space and $F$ a closed subspace. It is well known that the quotient space $E/F$ is also a Banach space with respect to the norm $$ \left\Vert x+F\right\Vert_{E/F}=\inf\{\left\Vert ...

A limit superior question in the context of the Neumann series

I'm trying to understand a step in the proof that the Neumann series converges: Let $X$ be a Banach space and $T\in L(X)$ (the space of bounded, i.e. continuous linear maps $X\to X$). It is known ...

Absolute norms and 1-unconditional sums

Absolute norm Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces. Let $Z=X\times Y$ a norm $\|\cdot\|_N$ on $Z$ is called absolute if there is a function $N\colon R^2\rightarrow R$ such that $$ \|(x,y)\|_N=N((\|x\|, ...

The Principle of Condensation of Singularities

Let $X$, $Y$ be Banach spaces and $\{T_{jk} : j,k \in\Bbb N\}$ be bounded linear maps from $X$ to $Y$. Suppose that for each $k$ there exists $x\in X$ such that $\sup\{\lVert T_{jk} x\rVert : j ...

How to show that the scalar product on a vector space extends by continuity to a scalar product on the completion of the vector space?

I'm trying to solve the following problem: Assume $H_0$ is a vector space equipped with a scalar product. Complete $H_0$ with respect to the norm $\Vert x \Vert = \langle x,x \rangle^{1/2}$. We ...

$C^1 [0,1]$ with different norm

If the space $C^1 [0,1]$ is equiped with norm $\Vert \cdot\Vert_1$,where $$ \Vert f\Vert_1=|f(0)|+\Vert f'\Vert _{C}=|f(0)|+\sup_{t\in [0,1]}|f'(t)| $$ for any $f\in C^1 [0,1]$, is this space Banach? ...

Geometric Sums in Banach Algebra

Let $E$ be a Banach algebra, and $v\in E$, so that $||v|| < 1$. So the geometric series $w = \sum_{k=0}^\infty v^k$ converges in the norm, that part I understand. I can show that $||w|| \le ...

Is a completion of an algebraically closed field with respect to a norm also algebraically closed?

Assume we have an algebraically closed field $F$ with a norm (where $F$ is considered as a vector space over itself), so that $F$ is not complete as a normed space. Let $\overline F$ be its completion ...
