Definition:Compact Linear Transformation/Normed Vector Space/Definition 2

Definition
Let $\struct {X, \norm \cdot_X}$ and $\struct {Y, \norm \cdot_Y}$ be normed vector spaces.

Let $T : X \to Y$ be a linear transformation.

We say that $T$ is a compact linear transformation :


 * for each bounded sequence $\sequence {x_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ in $X$:


 * the sequence $\sequence {T x_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ has a subsequence convergent in $\struct {Y, \norm \cdot_Y}$.
