Theorem
Let $I = \closedint 0 1$ be a closed real interval.
Let $A : I \times I \to \R$ be a real function such that:
- $\ds \int_0^1 \int_0^1 \paren {\map A {t, \tau} }^2 \rd t \rd \tau < \infty$

where $\times$ denotes the cartesian product.
Let $T_A : \map {L^2} I \to \map {L^2} I$ be an integral operator such that:
- $\ds \map {\paren {T_A \mathbf x} } t := \int_0^1 \map A {t, \tau} \map {\mathbf x} \tau \rd \tau$
where $\mathbf x \in \map {L^2} I$, and $\map {L^2} I$ is the Lebesgue $2$-space.
Then $T_A$ is a continuous transformation.
Proof
We have that Riemann Integral Operator is Linear Mapping.

Hence, $T_A$ is a linear transformation.
Furthermore:

\(\ds \) | \(<\) | \(\ds \infty\) |
Hence:
- $T_A \mathbf x \in \map {L^2} I$.
By continuity of linear transformations:
- $T_A \in \map {CL} {\map {L^2} I}$.
