convergence divergence - Vector space of complex sequences of the form a2n=n²a2n1 for n=1,2,... is closed (making use of the linfty norm)



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=n2a2n1 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:c0c0 by f({ai}i=1)={k2a2ka2k1}k=1.



This map is bounded and linear, so continuous.



The kernel of f is A={{ak}k=1a2k=k2a2k1}.



Therefore A, as the pre-image of a closed set {0}, is closed.
