I am trying to show that the subspace, say A, of c0 (which I use to denote the space of all complex sequences converging to 0, equipped with the l∞ norm) which contains the sequences of the form (an) with a2n=n2a2n−1 for n=1,2,... is closed.
I think I picture the reason why by taking a sequence of elements of A and working by contradiction, but I can't get a proper proof.
After quite some work done with ϵ's all around, I get nothing neat... Could you help me by explaining how you would write this down?
Answer
Define a mapping f:c0→c0 by f({ai}∞i=1)={k−2a2k−a2k−1}∞k=1.
This map is bounded and linear, so continuous.
The kernel of f is A={{ak}∞k=1∣a2k=k2a2k−1}.
Therefore A, as the pre-image of a closed set {0}, is closed.
