(i) Define the dual of a normed vector space . Show that the dual is always a complete normed space.
Prove that the vector space , consisting of those real sequences for which the norm
is finite, has the vector space of all bounded sequences as its dual.
(ii) State the Stone-Weierstrass approximation theorem.
Let be a compact subset of . Show that every can be uniformly approximated by a sequence of polynomials in variables.
Let be a continuous function on . Deduce that
