Let F be the space of real-valued sequences with only finitely many nonzero terms.
(a) For any p∈[1,∞), show that F is dense in ℓp. Is F dense in ℓ∞? Justify your answer.
(b) Let p∈[1,∞), and let T:F→F be an operator that is bounded in the ∥⋅∥p-norm, i.e., there exists a C such that ∥Tx∥p⩽C∥x∥p for all x∈F. Show that there is a unique bounded operator T:ℓp→ℓp satisfying T∣∣∣∣F=T, and that ∥T∥p⩽C.
(c) For each p∈[1,∞] and for each i=1,…,5 determine if there is a bounded operator from ℓp to ℓp (in the ∥⋅∥p norm) whose restriction to F is given by Ti :
