Part II, 2004
(i) Let be an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Show that has a (countable) orthonormal basis if and only if has a countable dense subset. [You may assume familiarity with the Gram-Schmidt process.]
State and prove Bessel's inequality.
(ii) State Parseval's equation. Using this, prove that if has a countable dense subset then there is a surjective isometry from to .
Explain carefully why the functions , form an orthonormal basis for
