Theorem

Let $\map {\ell^\infty} \C$ be the space of bounded sequences on $\C$.

Let $\struct {\C, +_\C, \times_\C}$ be the field of complex 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 $\struct {\map {\ell^\infty} \C, +, \, \cdot \,}_\C$ is a vector space.


Proof

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

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

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

Let us use real number addition and multiplication.

Define pointwise addition as:

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

Define pointwise scalar multiplication as:

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

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


Closure Axiom

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

By definition:

$\ds \sup_{n \mathop \in \N} \size {a_n} < \infty$
$\ds \sup_{n \mathop \in \N} \size {b_n} < \infty$

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

Then:

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

Hence:

$\sequence {a_n + b_n} \in \map {\ell^\infty} \C$
