Linear Analysis
Part II, 2018

(a) Let XX be a normed vector space and let YY be a Banach space. Show that the space of bounded linear operators B(X,Y)\mathcal{B}(X, Y) is a Banach space.

(b) Let XX and YY be Banach spaces, and let DXD \subset X be a dense linear subspace. Prove that a bounded linear map T:DYT: D \rightarrow Y can be extended uniquely to a bounded linear map T:XYT: X \rightarrow Y with the same operator norm. Is the claim also true if one of XX and YY is not complete?

(c) Let XX be a normed vector space. Let (xn)\left(x_{n}\right) be a sequence in XX such that

n=1f(xn)<fX\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left|f\left(x_{n}\right)\right|<\infty \quad \forall f \in X^{*}

Prove that there is a constant CC such that

n=1f(xn)CffX\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left|f\left(x_{n}\right)\right| \leqslant C\|f\| \quad \forall f \in X^{*}
