Let , be Normed Spaces.
Say Linear is compact if is Compact.

Notes

  • If compact, then certainly, is bounded, so is a Linear Operator.
  • For Complete, is compact iff Totally bounded
  • is compact
    if and only if
    For any in ,
    there is a subsequence such that converges in .

Proposition

, , normed, and .
Then:

  1. If is compact is compact
  2. If is compact is compact

Proof

  1. Given in :
    There is a subsequencce with convergent so convergent ( is continuous)
  2. Given in :
    have bounded, so there is a subsequence with convergent because is compact.
