r) of X (b) Find all subspaces of X which contain some ball B(x0 ; ρ) of X Solution (a) Let Y be a subspace of X which is contained in some ball B(a; r) of X Note first that the ball B(a; r) must contain the vector zero of X (and so of Y ); otherwise, the question is impossible For any number A > and any x ∈ Y , we have Ax ∈ Y since Y is a linear space By hypothesis Y ⊂ B(a; r), so we have Ax ∈ B(a; r) This implies that kAxk < r + kak Finally kxk < r + kak A A > being arbitrary, it follows that kxk = 0, so x = Thus, there is only one subspace of X, namely, Y = {0}, which is contained in some ball B(a; r) of X (b) Let Z be a subspace of X which contain some ball B(x0 ; ρ) of X Take any x ∈ B(0; ρ) Then x + x0 ∈ B(x0 ; ρ) and so x + x0 ∈ Z since Z ⊃ B(x0 ; ρ) Now, since x0 ∈ Z, x + x0 ∈ Z and Z is a linear space, we must have x ∈ Z Hence B(0; ρ) ⊂ Z ρx Now for any nonzero x ∈ X, we have 2kxk ∈ B(0; ρ) ⊂ Z Hence x ∈ Z We can conclude that Z = X In other words, the only subspace of X which contains some ball B(x0 ; ρ) of X is X itself ¥ Problem Prove that any finite dimensional normed space : (a) is complete (a Banach space), (b) is reflexive Solution Let X be a finite dimensional normed space Suppose dim X = d www.MATHVN.com www.MATHVN.com - Anh Quang Le, Ph.D (a) By Problem 5, it suffices to consider the Euclidian norm in X Let {e1 , , ed } be a basis for X For x ∈ X there exist numbers c1 , , cd such that à d !1/2 d X X x= ck ek and kxk = |ck |2 k=1 k=1 P (n) Let (x(n) ) be a Cauchy sequence in X If for each n, x(n) = dk=1 ak ek then !1/2 à d X (n) (m) → as n, m → ∞ kx(n) − x(m) k = |ak − ak |2 k=1 Hence, for every k = 1, , d, (n) (m) |ak − ak | → as n, m → ∞ (n) Therefore, each sequence of numbers (ak ) is a Cauchy sequence, so (n) (0) ak → ak Let a = Pd k=1 as n → ∞ for every k = 1, 2, , d (0) ak ek then x(n) → a ∈ X (b) Let f ∈ X ] where X ] is the space of all linear functionals on X We have ! à d d d X X X ck α k , ck f (ek ) = ck ek = f (x) = f k=1 k=1 k=1 where αk = f (ek ) Let us define fk ∈ X ] by the relation fk (x) = ck , k = 1, , d For any x ∈ X and f ∈ X ] , we get f (x) = d X fk (x)αk , i.e., f = Hence, X ] ≤ d Pdim d Let α f = Then, for any x ∈ X, Pd k=1 k k ¯ k ek , we obtain fk (x) = α ¯ k , and x = k=1 α k=1 αk fk (x) = αk fk k=1 k=1 d X d X d X Pd k=1 αk fk (x) = 0, and by taking |αk |2 = k=1 Hence, αk = for all k = 1, , d and thus, dim X ] = d For the space X ∗ we have X ∗ ⊂ X ] , so dim X ∗ = n ≤ d and dim(X ∗ )] = n From the relation X ⊂ (X ∗ )∗ ⊂ (X ∗ )] we conclude that d ≤ n Thus, n = d, and so X = (X ∗ )∗ ¥ www.MATHVN.com www.MATHVN.com - Anh Quang Le, Ph.D CHAPTER NORMED AND INNER PRODUCT SPACES Problem ( Reed-Simon II.4) (a) Prove that the inner product in a normed space X can be recovered from the polarization identity: i 1h hx, yi = (kx + yk2 − kx − yk2 ) − i(kx + iyk2 − kx − iyk2 ) (b) Prove that a normed space is an inner product space if and only if the norm satisfies the parallelogram law: kx + yk2 + kx − yk2 = 2(kxk2 + kyk2 ) Solution (a) For the real field case, the polarization identity is hx, yi = (kx + yk2 − kx − yk2 ) (∗) We use the symmetry of the inner product and compute the right hand side of (): Ô 1Ê (kx + yk2 − kx − yk2 ) = hx + y, x + yi − hx − y, x − yi 4 Ô 1Ê = hx, yi + hy, xi = hx, yi For the complex field case, we again expand the right hand side, using the relation we just established: i 1h 2 2 (kx + yk − kx − yk ) − i(kx + iyk kx iyk ) Ô iÊ Ô 1Ê = hx, yi + hy, xi − hx, iyi + hiy, xi 2 1 i2 i2 = hx, yi + hy, xi − hx, yi + hy, xi 2 2 = hx, yi (b) If the norm comes from an inner product, then we have kx + yk2 + kx − yk2 = hx + y, x + yi + hx − y, x − yi = 2hx, xi + 2hy, yi + hx, yi + hy, xi − hx, yi − hy, xi = 2(kxk2 + kyk2 ) www.MATHVN.com www.MATHVN.com - Anh Quang Le, Ph.D Now suppose that the norm satisfies the parallelogram law Assume the field is C, and define the inner product via the polarization identity from part (a) If x, y.z ∈ X, we write x+y =x+ y+z y−z y+z y−z + , x+z =x+ − , 2 2 and we have hx, yi + hx, zi = + = − = − = − = ¢ 1¡ kx + yk2 + kx − yk2 − kx − yk2 − kx − zk2 ¢ i¡ kx + iyk2 + kx + izk2 − kx − iyk2 − kx − izk2 4à ° ° °2 ° ° °2 ° °! ° ° y + z °2 ° ° ° y − z °2 y + z y + z ° ° ° °x + ° +° ° ° ° ° ° − °x − ° − ° ° ° ° ð °2 ° ° ° °2 ° °! ° ° y + z °2 ° ° ° y − z °2 i ° y + z y + z °x + i ° + °i ° ° ° ° ° ° ° − °x − i ° − °i ° ° ° ð °2 ° ° ° °2 ! ° ° ° ° ° y + z °2 ° y − z °2 ° ° y + z y + z °x + ° +° ° −° ° − °x − ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ð °2 ° ° ° °2 ! ° ° ° ° ° y + z °2 ° y − z °2 ° i ° y + z y + z °x + i ° + °i ° − °i ° − °x − i ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ¢ 1¡ kx + y + zk2 + kxk2 − kx − (y + z)k2 − kxk2 ¢ i¡ kx + i(y + z)k2 + kxk2 − kx − i(y + z)k2 − kxk2 hx, y + zi This holds for all x, y, z ∈ X, so, in particular, hx, nyi = nhx, yi for n ∈ N And it also satisfies hx, ryi = rhx, yi for r ∈ Q Moreover, again by the polarization identity, we have ¢ i¡ ¢ 1¡ kx + iyk2 − kx − iyk2 − kx − yk2 − kx + yk2 4 = ihx, yi hx, iyi = Combining these results we have hx, αyi = αhx, yi for α ∈ Q + iQ www.MATHVN.com ... well-defined Indeed, if [f ] = [g], then (f − g)(0) = so f (0) = g(0) It is clearly linear If f ∈ X, then g = f − f (0) ∈ M , and so f − g = f (0) is constant, which tells us that k [f ]k = |f (0)|... ck f (ek ) = ck ek = f (x) = f k=1 k=1 k=1 where αk = f (ek ) Let us define fk ∈ X ] by the relation fk (x) = ck , k = 1, , d For any x ∈ X and f ∈ X ] , we get f (x) = d X fk (x)αk , i.e., f. .. k.k1 does not satisfy the parallelogram law Let f (x) = and g(x) = 2x Then Z Z kf k1 = while Z kf − gk1 = 1.dx = 1, kgk1 = |2x|dx = 1, |1 − 2x|dx = , kf + gk1 = Thus, kf − gk21 + kf + gk21 = Z |1
