3 INTRODUCTION 1. Rationale

Although the development of Mathematics has ups and downs at each historical moment, the most brilliant results it achieved were in the twentieth century, which was the development of Mathematical Analysis.

With the advent of Mathematical Analysis, especially Functional Analysis, many problems in life, physics and science and technology are solved quickly and accurately. The methods and typical results of Functional Analysis have been introduced into all related branches of mathematics On the one hand, that . penetration has opened up vast horizons for the field of Functional Analysis, which has the task of synthesizing the results of separate branches of Mathematics to, to some extent, create general and abstract mathematical models. Functional analysis is a subject in the program. However, because class time is limited, it is difficult to research in depth. Through this thesis, I do not dare to have the ambition to learn deeply about Functional Analysis, but only wish to research and understand more deeply about a problem or a space of Functional Analysis. That's why I chose the topic "Bidual and Reflexivity" to have the opportunity to learn more deeply about this space with many applications.

CHAPTER 1: THEORY ABOUT BIDUAL AND REFLEXIVITY 1.1. Bidual space:

Definition 1.1.1 If 𝐸 is a normed space, then not only its dual space but 𝐸′ especially also the dual space (𝐸<small>′</small>)<small>′</small> of are of interest. We call 𝐸′

𝐸<sup>′′</sup>≔ (𝐸 )′<sup>′</sup> the bidual (or second dual) space of E. [1, p. 93]

The following considerations show that can be considered as a subspace 𝐸 of : for 𝐸′′ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸

𝐽(𝑥): 𝐸 → 𝐾, 𝐽<small>′</small> ( )[𝑦] ≔ 𝑦( ), 𝑥 𝑥 is a linear form which is also continuous since

|𝐽(𝑥)[ ]|𝑦 = 𝑦(𝑥)| ≤ ǁ ǁǁ ǁ| 𝑦 𝑥 for all 𝑦 ∈ 𝐸′.

Hence 𝐽(𝑥) ∈ 𝐸′′ for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸. The map 𝐽: 𝐸 → 𝐸′′ defined thus is also linear. From the norm formula, it follows that

ǁ𝐽(𝑥)ǁ = sup {|𝑦(𝑥)|: ǁ ǁ𝑦 ≤ 1} = ǁ𝑥ǁ for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸. [2, p. 52] Thus, we have proved the following proposition.

Proposition 1.1.2 For every normed space E, the map 𝐽: 𝐸 → 𝐸 , 𝐽<sup>′′</sup> (𝑥)∶ 𝑦 ⟼ 𝑦(𝑥), is linear and isometric. [2, p. 52]

The map 𝐽: 𝐸 → 𝐸<sup>′′</sup> is calles the canonical imbedding of in its bidual 𝐸 𝐸′′. Moreover, by virtue of the isometry we shall identify with the subspace 𝐽 𝐸 𝐽(𝐸) of ′′ and we shall write 𝐸 𝑥(𝑦) instead of 𝐽(𝑥)[𝑦]. [2, p. 52]

We have 𝐸′′ is a Banach space for every normed space 𝐸. Thereby we can obtain the completion of as the closure of 𝐸 𝐸 in 𝐸′′. [2, p. 52]

Proposition 1.1.3 For every normed space we have: 𝐸

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 6</span><div class="page_container" data-page="6">

(a) The complete 𝐸 of is a Banach space in a natural way. 𝐸

(b) For every Banach space and for each 𝐹 𝐴 ∈ 𝐿(𝐸, 𝐹) there exists a unique 𝐴 ∈ 𝐿(𝐸 , 𝐹) such that 𝐴 |<small>𝐸</small>= 𝐴 and ǁ𝐴 ǁ = ǁ𝐴ǁ. [2, p. 52]

Proof [2, pp. -52 53]

(a) The closure 𝐸 of 𝐸 in 𝐸′′ is a Banach space since 𝐸′′ is a Banach space. Since 𝐸 is dense in 𝐸 we get 𝐸 is a completion of . From addition (in 𝐸 𝐸) has a uniquely determined continuous extension to the completion. This coincides therefore with the addition induced on 𝐸 by . A similar argument can be 𝐸′′ made for scalar multiplication and the norm.

(b) If 𝐴 ∈ 𝐿(𝐸, 𝐹), then, A is uniformly continuous. Therefore, 𝐴 has a uniquely determined extension 𝐴 on 𝐸 . The linearity of 𝐴 follows easily and the linearity of 𝐴.

From ǁ𝐴𝑥ǁ ≤ ǁ𝐴ǁǁ𝑥ǁ for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸, we obtain by continuous extension that ǁ𝐴 𝑥ǁ ≤ ǁ𝐴ǁǁ ǁ for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸 and therefore ǁ𝐴 ǁ ≤ ǁ𝐴ǁ, from which it 𝑥 follows that ǁ𝐴 ǁ = ǁ𝐴ǁ, since trivially ǁ𝐴ǁ ≤ ǁ𝐴 ǁ.

The statements in 1.1 (b) can also be formulated as: if is a normed .3 𝐸 space, 𝐸 is its completion and is a Banach space, then the restriction map 𝐹 𝑅 : 𝐿(𝐸 , 𝐹) → 𝐿(𝐸, 𝐹), 𝑅(𝐴) ∶= 𝐴|<sub>𝐸</sub> , is an isometric isomorphism. In particular, (𝐸 )′ may be identified with by means of 𝐸′ 𝑅.

If the normed space is not complete then 𝐸 𝐸 ⊊ 𝐸′′, since is complete. 𝐸′′ A priori it is not clear whether or not 𝐸 = 𝐸′′ when is a Banach space. [2, 𝐸 p. 53]

1.2. Reflexive space:

Definition 1.2.1: A Banach space is said to be reflexive if the canonical 𝐸 imbedding 𝐽: 𝐸 → 𝐸<sup>′′</sup> is surjective, i.e., in case 𝐸 = 𝐸′′ by the canonical imbedding. [2, p. 53]

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 7</span><div class="page_container" data-page="7">

7 Remark: [2, p. 53]

(a) A Banach space is reflexive if, and only if, for each 𝐸 𝑧 ∈ 𝐸′′ there exists an 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸 such that 𝑧(𝑦) = 𝑦(𝑥) for all 𝑦 ∈ 𝐸′.

(b) If 𝐸 is reflexive, then there is an isometric isomorphism between and 𝐸 𝐸" (namely, J). The converse of this statement is not true as shown by James (1951).

We shall give examples of reflexive and non-reflexive spaces in 1.2.10. Before that we shall prove some properties which arise out of the notion of reflexivity.

Proposition 1.2.2 A Banach space is reflexive if and only if, its dual 𝐸 space is reflexive. [2, p. 53] 𝐸′

Proof [2, p. 53]

If 𝐸 is reflexive, then 𝐸 = 𝐸" and therefore 𝐸<sup>′</sup>= (𝐸 )′ = ((𝐸<small>′′′</small>)′)′ = (𝐸<small>′</small>)′′. If 𝐸′ is reflexive, then for each 𝑦 ∈ (𝐸′)′′ = (𝐸<small>′′</small>)′ with 𝑦|<sub>𝐸</sub> = 0 there exists an 𝜂 ∈ 𝐸′ such that:

𝑦(𝜉) = 𝜉(𝜂) for all 𝜉 ∈ 𝐸′′. Since 𝑦|<small>𝐸</small> = 0 we have

0 = 𝑦(𝑥) = 𝑥(𝜂) = 𝜂(𝑥) for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸,

i.e., 𝜂 = 0 . Consequently, also 𝑦 = 0 and thus 𝐸<small>𝑜</small>= {0} for the polar of 𝐸 ⊂ 𝐸′′ in ′′′. Since 𝐸 is closed in , we obtain from that 𝐸 𝐸′′ 𝐸 = 𝐸′′.

From 1.1.2 we obtain for every Banach space E the following increasing chain of Banach spaces: [2, p. 54]

𝐸 ⊂ 𝐸 ⊂ 𝐸<sup>′′</sup> <sup>(4)</sup>⊂ 𝐸<sup>(6)</sup>⊂ … 𝐸′ ⊂ 𝐸 ⊂ 𝐸′′′ <small>(5)</small>⊂ 𝐸<small>(7)</small>⊂ …

Proposition 1.2.4 If 𝐸 is a reflexive Banach space and is a closed subspace 𝐹 of then and 𝐸 𝐹 𝐸/𝐹 are likewise reflexive. [2, p. 54]

Proof [2, p. 54]

𝐹 is reflexive: The map, 𝜌: 𝐸<small>′</small>⟶ 𝐹<sup>′</sup>, 𝜌(𝑌) ∶= 𝑌|<small>𝐹</small>, is linear, continuous and surjective. For a given 𝑧 ∈ 𝐹′′ then 𝑧 ∘ 𝜌 is in 𝐸′′.

Since is reflexive, there exists an 𝐸 𝑥 ∈ 𝐸 such that: (*) 𝑧 ∘ 𝜌(𝑌) = 𝑌(𝑥) for all 𝑌 ∈ 𝐸′.

For every 𝑌 ∈ 𝐹° = 𝑁(𝜌) we have 𝑌 (𝑥) = 0, i.e., 𝑥 ∈ 𝐹°°= 𝐹 = 𝐹. Since is surjective, there exists, for each 𝜌 𝑦 ∈ 𝐹′, 𝑎 𝑌 ∈ 𝐸′ with 𝑌|<sub>𝐹</sub> = 𝜌(𝑌) = 𝑦.

Then, by (*), we have

𝑧(𝑦) = 𝑧 ∘ 𝜌(𝑌) = 𝑌(𝑥) = 𝑦(𝑥) for all 𝑦 ∈ 𝐹′. Thus is reflexive. 𝐹

𝐸/𝐹 is reflexive: By 1.2.2, is also reflexive when 𝐸 is reflexive. By what 𝐸′ has been just shown is also reflexive. 𝐹°

We have (𝐸/𝐹)′ ≅ 𝐹°. Thus, by 1.2.2 and 1.2.3, 𝐸/𝐹 is reflexive. Definition 1.2.5 (normed sequence space ): [2, p. 54]

A normed sequence space is a linear subspace of the space of all 𝜆 𝜔 sequences, which is endowed with a norm ǁ ⋅ ǁ and contains the sequence 𝑒 ∶<sub>𝑛</sub> = (𝛿<sub>𝑗</sub>, 𝑛)<sub>𝑗∈ℕ</sub> for each 𝑛 ∈ ℕ.

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 9</span><div class="page_container" data-page="9">

Clearly every normed sequence space contains the space 𝜑: = {𝑥 ∈ 𝜔 ∶ 𝑥 = (𝑥<sub>𝑗</sub>)<sub>𝑗∈ℕ</sub>, 𝑥<sub>𝑗</sub>= 0 for almost all 𝑗 ∈ ℕ}, of all finite sequences as a subspace.

The spaces 𝑙<sub>∞</sub>, 𝑐<sub>0</sub> and are normed sequence spaces. Further examples are 𝑐

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 10</span><div class="page_container" data-page="10">

If 𝑥 ∈ 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub> and 𝑦 ∈ 𝑙<sub>𝑞</sub> with 𝑥 ≠ 0, 𝑦 ≠ 0 are given, then we apply what we have shown above to 𝑥′ ∶=<sup>𝑥</sup>

<small>ǁ𝑥ǁ𝑝</small> , and 𝑦<small>′</small>∶= <sup>𝑦</sup>

<small>ǁ ǁ𝑦𝑞</small> and obtain the stated inequality after multiplying by ǁ𝑥ǁ<small>𝑝</small>ǁ𝑦ǁ<small>𝑞</small>.

Lemma 1.2.7: Let 𝑝, 𝑞 ∈ ]1, ∞[ with <sub>𝑝</sub><sup>1</sup>+<sup>1</sup>

<small>𝑞</small>= 1. Then for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝜔 the

<small>𝑗=1</small> for all 𝑦 ∈ 𝜑 with ǁ𝑦ǁ<small>𝑞</small>≤ 1. Thus the concerned supremum is at most ǁ𝑥ǁ<small>𝑝</small>.

On the other hand, if for 𝑥 ∈ 𝜔 , 𝑥 ≠ 0, the supremum in question equals 𝐶 ∈ ℝ<sub>+</sub>, then we choose 𝜆 ∈ 𝜔, such that |𝜆<sub>𝑗</sub>| = 1 and 𝜆<sub>𝑗</sub>𝑥<small>𝑗</small>= |𝑥<sub>𝑗</sub>|; for all 𝑗 ∈ ℕ. Then, for sufficiently large 𝑁 ∈ ℕ the quantity 𝐴 ∶=(∑<small>𝑁</small> |𝑥<sub>𝑗</sub>|<sup>𝑝</sup>

<small>𝑞</small> for 1 ≤ j ≤ N and 𝑦<sub>𝑗</sub>= 0 for 𝑗 > 𝑁. Then, by the choice of , we get 𝐴

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 11</span><div class="page_container" data-page="11">

From this it follows that 𝑥 ∈ 𝑙<small>𝑝</small> and 𝐶 ≥ ǁ𝑥ǁ<small>𝑝</small>, which implies the result. Proposition 1.2.8 For 1 < 𝑝 < ∞, 𝑙<small>𝑝</small> is a normed sequence space. [2, p. 56] Proof [2, p. 56]

For 𝑞 ∶=<sup>𝑝</sup>

<small>𝑝−1</small> we have <sub>𝑝</sub><sup>1</sup>+<sup>1</sup>

<small>𝑞</small>= 1. Then, by 1.2.7, we have for arbitrary 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub> and all 𝑧 ∈ 𝜑 with ǁ𝑧ǁ<sub>𝑞</sub>≤ 1:

Thus 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub> is a linear subspace of 𝜔 on which ǁ ⋅ ǁ<sub>𝑝</sub> is a norm. Obviously also 𝑙<small>𝑝</small> contains the vectors 𝑒<sub>𝑛</sub> for all 𝑛 ∈ ℕ.

Notation: [2, p. 56]

If 𝜆 and are normed sequence spaces, then we write 𝜇 𝜆 = 𝜇<sup>′</sup> if: (1) For every 𝑦 ∈ 𝜇 and every 𝑥 ∈ 𝜆 the series ∑<small>∞</small> 𝑥<small>𝑗</small>𝑦<small>𝑗</small>

<small>𝑗=1</small> =: 𝑦(𝑥) converges and defines an element 𝑦(⋅) of for which 𝜆′ ǁ𝑦(⋅) ǁ<small>𝜆′</small>= ǁ𝑦ǁ<small>𝜇</small> holds.

(2) For every 𝜂 ∈ 𝜆′ there exists a 𝑦 ∈ 𝜇 such that 𝑦(⋅) = 𝜂.

When we write 𝜇 ∈ 𝜆′ it also signifies that the map 𝑦 ⟼ 𝑦(⋅) is an isometric isomorphism between and . 𝜇 𝜆′

Proposition 1.2.9 𝑙′ = 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub> <sub>𝑞</sub>, for 𝑝, 𝑞 ∈ 1, ∞] [ with <sup>1</sup><sub>𝑝</sub>+<sup>1</sup>

<small>𝑗=1</small> ; as well as the inequality |𝑦(𝑥)| ≤ ǁ𝑥ǁ<sub>𝑝</sub>ǁ𝑦ǁ<small>𝑞</small>, i.e., ǁ ǁ𝑦<sub>𝑙𝑝</sub> <small>′</small> ≤ ǁ𝑦ǁ<sub>𝑞</sub> follow from Holder's inequality. Obviously 𝑦(⋅) = 𝜂, which implies ǁ𝑦(⋅) ǁ<sub>𝑙𝑝</sub><small>′</small>= ǁ𝑦ǁ<sub>𝑞</sub>.

𝑐<sub>0</sub><small>′</small> = 𝑙<sub>1</sub>: For 𝑦 ∈ 𝑙<sub>1</sub> and 𝑥 ∈ 𝑐<small>0</small> we have Thus the series 𝑦(𝑥) ∶= ∑<small>∞</small> 𝑥<small>𝑗</small>𝑦<small>𝑗</small>

<small>𝑗=1</small> converges and defines 𝑎 𝑦(⋅) ∈ 𝑐<sub>0</sub> for which ǁ𝑦(⋅) ǁ<sub>𝑐</sub>

<small>0′</small>= ǁ𝑦ǁ<small>𝑙</small><sub>1</sub>.

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 13</span><div class="page_container" data-page="13">

13

If 𝜂 ∈ 𝑐′<sub>0</sub> is given, then we define 𝑦 ∈ 𝜔 by 𝑦<sub>𝑗</sub>∶= 𝜂(𝑒<sub>𝑗</sub>), 𝑗 ∈ ℕ.

One can then give a proof similar to the one given above to show that 𝜂(𝑥) = ∑<small>∞</small> 𝑥<small>𝑗</small>𝑦<small>𝑗</small>

<small>𝑗=1</small> = 𝑦(𝑥) for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝑐<sub>0</sub>, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑙<sub>1</sub>, as also, ǁ ǁ𝑦<small>𝑙1</small>= 𝑦(⋅) ǁ ǁ<sub>𝑐0</sub><small>′</small>. 𝑙<sub>1</sub><sup>′</sup>= 𝑙<sub>∞</sub>: The proof is analogous.

Corollary 1.2.10 For 1 < 𝑝 < ∞, 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub> is a reflexive Banach space. The Banach spaces 𝑐, 𝑙<sub>1</sub> 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙<sub>∞</sub> are not reflexive. [2, p. 57]

Proof [2, pp. 57-58]

By 1.2.9, for 1 ≤ 𝑝 ≤ ∞, the spaces are dual spaces, and therefore, 𝑙<small>𝑝</small> complete. Thus, 𝑐<sub>0</sub> and are complete 𝑐 .

If 𝑝, 𝑞 ∈ ]1, ∞[ with <sup>1</sup><sub>𝑝</sub> +<sup>1</sup>

<small>𝑞</small> = 1, then, by 1.2.9, 𝑙<small>′</small> = 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub> <sub>𝑞</sub> and 𝑙<sub>𝑞</sub><small>′</small> = 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub>. In this sense we also have 𝑙<small>′′</small>= 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub><sub>𝑝</sub>. That this actually signifies the reflexivity of can be shown by the following: 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub>

For 𝑥 ∈ 𝑙<sub>𝑝</sub> and 𝑦 ∈ 𝑙<sup>′</sup><sub>𝑝</sub>= 𝑙<sub>𝑞</sub> we have

𝑐<small>0</small> is not reflexive: If by means of 1.2.9 we identify 𝑐<sub>0</sub><small>′′</small> with , then the 𝑙<sub>∞</sub> canonical imbedding is precisely the inclusion of 𝐽 𝑐<small>0</small> in 𝑙<sub>∞</sub>,, and therefore is not surjective.

Since is a closed subspace of and of , by 1.2.4 and the previous result, 𝑐<sub>0</sub> 𝑐 𝑙<sub>∞</sub> these spaces cannot be reflexive. From 1.2.2 and 1.2.9, 𝑙 = 𝑐<sub>1</sub> <sub>0</sub><small>′</small> is also not reflexive.

CHAPTER 2: PROBLEMS ABOUT BIDUAL AND REFLEXIVITY 2.1. The James Theorem

Using a consequence of the Hahn-Banach theorem we obtain that there is 𝑥<small>∗∗</small> ∈ 𝑋<small>∗∗</small> such that ǁ𝑥<small>∗∗</small>ǁ = 1 and 𝑥<small>∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>) = ǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>ǁ.

But 𝑋 is reflexive and therefore the canonical embedding 𝐾<sub>𝑋</sub>: 𝑋 → 𝑋<small>∗∗</small>, 𝐾<sub>𝑥</sub>(𝑥) = 𝑥 is surjective, and then there is 𝑥 ∈ 𝑋 such that

16 (ii) → (i)

Assume that any linear and continuous functional on X achieves its norm on the closed unit ball of X.

Consider the canonical embedding 𝐾<sub>𝑋</sub>: 𝑋 → 𝑋<small>∗∗</small>, 𝐾<sub>𝑥</sub>(𝑥) = 𝑥 and 𝑥<small>∗</small>∈ 𝑋<small>∗</small> and consider the linear functional 𝑥<small>∗</small>: 𝑋 → 𝕂.

By the assumption, 𝑥<small>∗</small>∈ 𝑋<small>∗</small> attains its norm at on the closed unit ball; i.e., there exists 𝑥 ∈ 𝑋 with ∥ 𝑥 ∥= 1 such that 𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑥) = ǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>ǁ.

𝑥<small>∗</small>∈ 𝑋<small>∗</small>, 𝑥<small>∗</small> ≠ 0. Using a consequence of the Hahn-Banach theorem we obtain that there is 𝑥<small>∗∗</small> ∈ 𝑋<small>∗∗</small> such that ǁ𝑥<small>∗∗</small>ǁ = 1 and 𝑥<small>∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>) = ǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>ǁ. 1. Prove is not reflexive space: 𝒄<sub>𝟎</sub>

Suppose 𝑥 achieve its norm on the closed unit ball of , i.e., there is 𝑐<sub>0</sub> 𝑥 =

Thus, does not achieve its norm on the closed unit ball of 𝑥<small>∗</small> 𝑐<sub>0</sub>. Therefore, by James Theorem, 𝑐<sub>0</sub> is not reflexive.

2. The space 𝒍<sub>𝟏</sub> is not reflexive.

Consider the linear functional 𝑥<small>∗</small>: 𝑙<sub>1</sub>→ ℝ, 𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑥) = ∑ (1 −<sup>1</sup>

iii) Give a counterexample to prove that the assertion from (ii) is no longer true if 𝑋 is not supposed to be reflexive.

Solution [3, pp. 79-80]

i) We know that if 𝐴 ⊆ 𝑋 is a convex set then 𝐴 <small>𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘</small> = 𝐴 <small>ǁ⋅ǁ</small> (the Mazur theorem ).

Suppose that 𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub>→ 𝑥<sub>0</sub> weak. For any 𝑚 ∈ ℕ, (𝑥<small>𝑛</small>)<sub>𝑛≥𝑚</sub> converges weak to 𝑥<small>0</small>. Since 𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub>∈ 𝐾<small>𝑚</small> ∀𝑛 ≥ 𝑚, we obtain that 𝑥<sub>0</sub> ∈ 𝐾<sub>𝑚</sub><sup>𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘</sup> = 𝐾<sub>𝑚</sub><sup>ǁ⋅ǁ</sup>= 𝐾<sub>𝑚</sub>.

⇒ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐾<sub>0</sub> <sub>𝑚</sub> ∀𝑚 ∈ ℕ i.e., {𝑥<sub>0</sub>} ⊆ ⋂<sup>∞</sup> 𝐾<sub>𝑛</sub>

Let 𝑦 ∈ ⋂<sup>∞</sup><sub>𝑛=1</sub> 𝐾, and consider <sub>𝑛</sub> 𝜀 > 0 and an element 𝑥<small>∗</small> ∈ 𝑋<small>∗</small>.

Since 𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub> → 𝑥<sub>0</sub> weak there is an 𝑚 ∈ ℕ such that |𝑥<small>∗</small> (𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub> − 𝑥<sub>0</sub>)| ≤ 𝜀, for any 𝑛 ≥ 𝑚.

Let then 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∈ 𝑋 | |𝑥 (𝑥 − 𝑥 )| ≤ 𝜀}<small>∗</small> . We obtain that is a closed

convex set, 𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub> ∈ 𝐴 ∀𝑛 ≥ 𝑚, and therefore 𝐾<sub>𝑚</sub>⊆ 𝐴. Since 𝑦 ∈ 𝐾<sub>𝑚</sub> we obtain that 𝑦 ∈ 𝐴,

⇒ |𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑦 − 𝑥 )| ≤ 𝜀<sub>0</sub> .

Since 𝜀 > 0 was arbitrary, passing to the limit for 𝜀 → 0 we obtain that 𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑦 − 𝑥 ) = 0<sub>0</sub> ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑋<small>∗∗</small>, and therefore 𝑦 = 𝑥<sub>0</sub>.

ii) We have the general remark: If 𝑋 is a linear topological space and (𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub>⊆ 𝑋, 𝑥 ∈ 𝑋<sub>0</sub> are such that for any subsequence (𝑘<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub>of , we can find a 𝑁 subsequence (𝑝<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub> such that 𝑥<sub>𝑘</sub><sub>𝑝𝑛</sub>→ 𝑥<sub>0</sub>, then 𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub>→ 𝑥<sub>0</sub>.

Indeed, if we suppose that does not converge towards then there is a 𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub> 𝑥<sub>0</sub> neighborhood 𝑉 of 0 such that ∀𝑛 ∈ ℕ ∃𝑘 ≥ 𝑛 such that 𝑥<small>𝑘</small>− 𝑥 ∉ 𝑉<sub>0</sub> . Then in a standard way we can construct a subsequence (𝑘<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub> of such 𝑁 that for any 𝑛, 𝑥<sub>𝑘𝑛</sub>− 𝑥<sub>𝑜</sub>∉ 𝑉.

By hypothesis there is a subsequence (𝑝<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub> such that 𝑥<sub>𝑘</sub>

<small>𝑝𝑛</small> → 𝑥<small>0</small>, hence there is an 𝑚 ∈ ℕ such that 𝑥<small>𝑘𝑝𝑚</small>− 𝑥<sub>0</sub>∈ 𝑉.

This contradicts our choice for the subsequence (𝑘<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub>.

In order to prove that 𝑥<sub>𝑛</sub> → 𝑥<sub>0</sub> weak we will use the above remark. Consider a subsequence (𝑘<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub> of 𝑁.

Since the sequence (𝑥<sub>𝑘𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub>⊆ 𝑋 is bounded and 𝑋 is a reflexive space, using the Eberlein-Smulian theorem we obtain that: weak. Now we apply the above remark.

iii) Let (𝑒<small>𝑛</small>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub>⊆ 𝑙<small>1</small> be the standard basis.

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 22</span><div class="page_container" data-page="22">

22

Then the set 𝑐𝑜{𝑒<sub>𝑛</sub>, 𝑒<sub>𝑛+1</sub>, … } is included in the set of elements from 𝑙<sub>1</sub>, which have 0 at the first 𝑛 − 1 positions, and therefore 𝐾<sub>𝑛</sub> is included in the set of elements from 𝑙<sub>1</sub> , which have 0 at the first 𝑛 − 1 positions.

Then then ⋂<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub>𝐾<sub>𝑛</sub>= {0} and but if 𝑥<small>∗</small>: 𝑙

<small>1</small>→ 𝕂, 𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑥<small>1</small>, 𝑥<sub>2</sub>, …) = ∑<small>∞</small> 𝑥<small>𝑛</small>

i.e.,𝑥<small>∗</small>= (1,1, … ∈ 𝑙) <sub>1</sub><small>∗</small>= 𝑙<sub>∞</sub>, ⇒ 𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑒<sub>𝑛</sub>) = 1 ∀𝑛 ∈ ℕ.

Therefore (𝑒<sub>𝑛</sub>)<sub>𝑛∈ℕ</sub> does not converge weak towards 0. 2.4. A hereditary property for reflexive spaces

Problem 2.4.1. [3, p. 70]

Let be a reflexive Banach space and 𝑋 𝑌 ⊆ 𝑋 a closed linear subspace. Prove that 𝑌 is a reflexive Banach space.

Solution [3, p. 80]

Let 𝑦<small>∗∗</small>∶ 𝑌<small>∗</small>→ 𝕂 be a linear and continuous functional.

For any 𝑥<small>∗</small>: 𝑋 → 𝕂 linear and continuous, we consider its restriction on 𝑌, 𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub>: 𝑌 → 𝕂. Then 𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub> is linear and

ǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>|<small>𝑌 𝑌</small>ǁ<small>∗</small> = sup

<small>𝑦∈𝑌,ǁ𝑦ǁ≤1</small>|𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑦)| ≤ sup

<small>𝑥∈𝑋,ǁ𝑥ǁ≤1</small>|𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑥)| = ǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>ǁ, i.e., 𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub>∈ 𝑌<small>∗</small>, ǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub>ǁ<sub>𝑌</sub><small>∗</small> ≤ ǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>ǁ.

We define 𝑦<small>∗∗</small>∶ 𝑋<small>∗</small>→ 𝕂 , 𝑦<small>∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>) = 𝑦<small>∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub>) ∀𝑥<small>∗</small>∈ 𝑋<small>∗</small>. Then 𝑦<small>∗∗</small> is well defined and linear. We have

|𝑦<small>∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>)| = |𝑦<small>∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub>)| ≤ ǁ𝑦<small>∗∗</small>ǁǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub>ǁ<sub>𝑌</sub><small>∗</small>≤ ǁ𝑦<small>∗∗</small>ǁǁ𝑥<small>∗</small>ǁ, i.e., 𝑦<small>∗∗</small> ∈ 𝑋<small>∗∗</small>. Since is a reflexive space, there is 𝑋 𝑥 ∈ 𝑋 such that 𝑥 = 𝑦, i.e., 𝑦<small>∗∗∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>) = 𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑥) ∀𝑥<small>∗</small>∈ 𝑋<small>∗</small>, and therefore 𝑦<small>∗∗</small>(𝑥<small>∗</small>|<sub>𝑌</sub>) = 𝑥<small>∗</small>(𝑥)∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑋<small>∗∗</small>.
