(a) Let T:X→Y be a linear map between normed spaces. What does it mean to say that T is bounded? Show that T is bounded if and only if T is continuous. Define the operator norm of T and show that the set B(X,Y) of all bounded, linear maps from X to Y is a normed space in the operator norm.
(b) For each of the following linear maps T, determine if T is bounded. When T is bounded, compute its operator norm and establish whether T is compact. Justify your answers. Here ∥f∥∞=supt∈[0,1]∣f(t)∣ for f∈C[0,1] and ∥f∥=∥f∥∞+∥f′∥∞ for f∈C1[0,1].
(i) T:(C1[0,1],∥⋅∥∞)→(C1[0,1],∥⋅∥),T(f)=f.
(ii) T:(C1[0,1],∥⋅∥)→(C[0,1],∥⋅∥∞),T(f)=f.
(iii) T:(C1[0,1],∥⋅∥)→(C[0,1],∥⋅∥∞),T(f)=f′.
(iv) T:(C[0,1],∥⋅∥∞)→R,T(f)=∫01f(t)h(t)dt, where h is a given element of C[0,1]. [Hint: Consider first the case that h(x)=0 for every x∈[0,1], and apply T to a suitable function. In the general case apply T to a suitable sequence of functions.]
