Theorem

Let $\ell^p$ be the p-sequence space.

Let $\struct {\R, +_\R, \times_\R}$ be the field of real numbers.

Let $\paren +$ be the pointwise addition on the ring of sequences.

Let $\paren {\, \cdot \,}$ be the pointwise multiplication on the ring of sequences.


Then $\struct {\ell^p, +, \, \cdot \,}_\R$ is a vector space.


Proof

Let $\sequence {a_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}, \sequence {b_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}, \sequence {c_n}_{n \mathop \in \N} \in \ell^p$.

Let $\lambda, \mu \in \R$.

Let $\sequence 0 := \tuple {0, 0, 0, \dots}$ be a real-valued function.

Let us use real number addition and multiplication.

Define pointwise addition as:

$\sequence {a_n + b_n}_{n \mathop \in \N} := \sequence {a_n}_{n \mathop \in \N} +_\R \sequence {b_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$.

Define pointwise scalar multiplication as:

$\sequence {\lambda \cdot a_n}_{n \mathop \in \N} := \lambda \times_\R \sequence {a_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$

Let the additive inverse be $\sequence {-a_n} := - \sequence {a_n}$.


Closure Axiom

By assumption, $\sequence {a_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}, \sequence {b_n}_{n \mathop \in \N} \in \ell^p$.

By definition:

$\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \size {a_n}^p < \infty$
$\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \size {b_n}^p < \infty$

Consider the sequence $\sequence {a_n + b_n}$.

Then:

\(\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \size {a_n + b_n}^p\) \(\le\) \(\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \paren {\size {a_n} + \size {b_n} }^p\)
\(\ds \) \(\le\) \(\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \paren {\map \max {\size {a_n}, \size {b_n} } + \map \max {\size {a_n}, \size {b_n} } }^p\) Definition of Max Operation
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty 2^p \paren {\map \max {\size {a_n}, \size {b_n} } }^p\)
\(\ds \) \(\le\) \(\ds 2^p \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \paren {\size {a_n}^p + \size {b_n}^p}\)
\(\ds \) \(<\) \(\ds \infty\) $\sequence {a_n}, \sequence {b_n} \in \ell^p$

Hence:

$\sequence {a_n + b_n} \in \ell^p$
