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.
