Lemma 3.9 Rudin's functional analysis












1












$begingroup$


I need help in understanding the proof of the following




Suppose $Lambda_1,ldots,Lambda_n$ and $Lambda$ are linear
functionals on a vector space $X$. Let
$$ N = left{x : Lambda_1x =
ldots = Lambda_n = 0 right} $$
The following three are equivalent



a) There are scalars $alpha_1,ldots,alpha_n$ such that
$$ Lambda =
alpha_1 Lambda_1 + ldots + alpha_n Lambda_n $$



b) There's $gamma < infty$ such that $$ |Lambda x | leq gamma
> max_{1leq i leq n} |Lambda_i x| ;;,(xin X) $$



c) $Lambda x = 0$ for every $x in N$.




Proof: It is clear that (a) implies (b) and that (b) implies (c)...etc.



That's the bit I don't get. How does (a) implies (b)? I believe I get why (b) implies (c). Since if $x in N$ then for each $i$ we have $Lambda_i x = 0$, but then by (b) we have $|Lambda x = 0|$ and this implies $Lambda x = 0$. (correct?)



So again



Why (a) implies (b)? Is my proof of (b) implies (c) correct?

          Your proof of (b) implies (c) is correct.



          As for (a) implies (b):



          We have
          $$
          | Lambda x |
          = | alpha_1Lambda_1 x +dots + alpha_nLambda_n x |
          \
          leq | alpha_1|cdot |Lambda_1 x | +dots + |alpha_n|cdot |Lambda_n x|
          \
          leq (|alpha_1|+dots + |alpha_n|) max_{1leq i leq n} |Lambda_i x|.
          $$

          This means we can choose
          $gamma=|alpha_1|+dots + |alpha_n|$.

            a) implies b): $|Lambda x| leq sum |alpha_i| | Lambda_i x|leq max{|Lambda_i(x)|} sum |alpha_i|$ so you can take $gamma =sum |alpha_i|$ Your argument for b) implies c) is correct.
