A possible characterization of WSC spaces

A Banach space $X$ is weakly sequentially complete (WSC) if every weakly Cauchy sequence in $X$ is weakly convergent. I will use the following classical result: Rosenthal's $\ell_1$ theorem: Every ...

What is the motivation behind the weak limit?

We defined the weak limit as: Let $X$ be a Banach space. $x_n \in X$ converges weakly to $x_0 \in X$, if $\: \:\forall _{\phi \in X^{*}}\:\phi \left(x_n\right)\rightarrow \phi \left(x_0\right)$ But ...

Weakly unconditionally Cauchy series in $X^*$

Let $X$ be a Banach space. A series $\sum x_n$ in $X$ is weakly unconditionally Cauchy (or weakly uncontionally convergent) if $\sum |x^*(x_n)| < +\infty$ for every $x^* \in X^*$. Exercise 3, page ...

The difference between 'weak limit point' and 'converge weakly'

For the following theorem. Let $S$ be a nonempty subset of $H$ and let $x:[0,+ \infty) \rightarrow H$. Assume that $\quad$ (i) for every $z\in S$, $\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty} \left\|x(t)-z\right\|$ ...

bounded $c_0$ sequence has weakly cauchy subsequence

I'm solving Conway's Functional Analysis. (Weakly Compact Operator) The problem is Show that every bounded sequence in $c_0$ has a weakly Cauchy subsequence, but not every weakly Cauchy seqence in $...

About weakly Cauchy sequences in complete metric spaces

Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space. Call a sequence $(x_n)\subseteq X$ a weakly Cauchy sequence in $X$ if there is some $y\in X$ such that $(d(y,x_n))_n$ is a Cauchy sequence in $\mathbb{R}$. It ...

weakly cauchy sequence is norm compact

A sequence $(x_n)$ is weakly cauchy if for every $x^*\in X^*$, $(x^*(x_n))$ converges. Let $c$ denote the space of convergent functions. Theorem: A weakly cauchy sequence is norm-bounded. Proof: Let ...

Space of weakly Cauchy sequences

Let $X$ be a Banach space and let us consider the linear subspace of $\ell_\infty(X)$ comprising all weakly Cauchy sequences. Is this subspace closed? It is not as immediate as in the case of ...

Weakly Cauchy sequences need not be weakly convergent

A sequence $(x_n)$ in a Banach space $X$ is called weakly Cauchy if for every $\ell \in X'$ the sequence $(\ell(x_n))$ is Cauchy in the scalar field. I want to show that weakly Cauchy sequences ...
