Adjoint system associated to Schauder basis Let $X$ be reflexive Banach space or if you need one could assume that $X=H$ where $H$ is a usual separable Hilbert space and $\{e_n\}_{n = 1}^\infty$ be a Schauder basis in it which means for any x $\in X$ you have a unique representation $x = \sum_{n = 1} ^{\infty} x_ne_n$.
By saying that system $\{f_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is adjoint to $\{e_n\}_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ I mean a biorthogonal system associated with $\{e_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ i.e. $(f_i, e_j) = \delta_{ij}$ for $\forall$ i, j.
My question is would adjoint system $\{f_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ associated to arbitrary Schauder basis $\{e_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be Schauder basis in $X^*$ (or in $H$ respectively) itself or not?
I'll just add that answer is positive if you'd ask the same question for complete, minimal system or Riesz basis.
Thank you for any advices and remarks.
 A: This is a long comment rather than an answer to the question above. The purpose of this post is to familiarize the readers with what lies one step ahead about the (Schauder) bases.
Let $X$ be a Banach space (not necessarily reflexive). Let $(e_n)$ be a Schauder basis of $X$ with a dual basic sequence $(f_n)$ as above. First of all, for every $f\in X^*$ $$f= \sum_n f(e_n) f_n $$ where the sum converges in the weak$^{*}$ topology of $X^{*}$. Let $L\subseteq X^*$ be the norm-closed linear span of $\{f_n\}$. $L=X^*$ if and only if $(e_n)$ is a shrinking basis for $X$, which means $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sup_{x\in Z_n}\frac{|f(x)|}{\|x\|} = 0$$ where $Z_n =\overline{span}\{e_k:k\geq n\}$ is the norm-closure of the span of $\{e_k:k\geq n\}$.
