Compact Operator - Completely Continuous Operators

Completely Continuous Operators

Let X and Y be Banach spaces. A bounded linear operator T : XY is called completely continuous if, for every weakly convergent sequence from X, the sequence is norm-convergent in Y (Conway 1985, §VI.3). Compact operators on a Banach space are always completely continuous. If X is a reflexive Banach space, then every completely continuous operator T : XY is compact.

Famous quotes containing the words completely and/or continuous:

    After, when they disentwine
    You from me and yours from mine,
    Neither can be certain who
    Was that I whose mine was you.
    To the act again they go
    More completely not to know.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    I describe family values as responsibility towards others, increase of tolerance, compromise, support, flexibility. And essentially the things I call the silent song of life—the continuous process of mutual accommodation without which life is impossible.
    Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
