Let $1 \leq p,q \leq \infty$ and $A= (a_{ij})$ be a scalar matrix. Suppose for every $x= (x_j)\in l^p$, the series $\sum_{1}^{\infty}a_{ij}x_j$ is convergent for every $i$ and that $y=(y_i) \in {l}^q$ where $y_i = \sum_{1}^{\infty}a_{ij}x_j = (Ax)_{j}$. I need to show that the map $A : l^p \rightarrow l^q $ is a bounded linear map.

The hint given to me was to use Closed graph theorem but I absolutely don't know how to do it !

  • 2nd part. its graph is closed. how will I show it? – Dark_Knight Sep 30 '16 at 13:29

    Consider a sequence $(x^{(n)}, y^{(n)})$ in the graph. Assume it converges, say to $(x,y) \in l^p\times l^q$. Show that then $y = Ax$. – Daniel Fischer Sep 30 '16 at 13:31
  • Just want to mention: you are supposed to use the Closed Graph Thm twice. Firstly, use it to prove every $A_i: x\mapsto (a_{ij} x_j)_{j\in\mathbb{N}}$ from $\ell^p$ to $\ell^1$ is well-defined and bounded. Next, use this result, and again use the CGTh to prove the main result. – user760 Mar 08 '25 at 15:09
