Banach spaces, $C^1([-1,1])$












1














Denote by $C^1([a,b])$ the vector space of continuously differentiable functions with derivatives at $a,b$ defined as one-sided limits. I was wondering whether the linear subspace $C^1([-1,1])$ of $C^0([-1,1])$ closed with respect to $||cdot||_{C^0}$?



I thought it was not, and I wanted to prove that $|x|$ is a limit point of $C^1([-1,1])$ implying $C^1([-1,1])$ is not closed. However, I have troubles finding a sequence of differentiable functions which converges to $|x|$. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

          Hint: If $xin[-1,1]$, what is $displaystylelim_{ntoinfty}sqrt{x^2+frac1{n^2}}$?

          • Then one would have to show that $||sqrt{x^2+frac{1}{n^2}}-sqrt{x^2}||_{C^0}to 0$ as $ntoinfty$. Could one use uniform convergence for that?

          It's not closed, which is a result of the Weierstrass Approxmation Theorem: Given any $fin C^0[-1,1]$ and any $epsilon >0$, there is a polynomial $p$ such that $|f-p|_{C^0} < epsilon$. In fact this shows that $C^infty$ is not a closed subspace of $C^0$ since polynomials are smooth.
