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