Jul 5, 2012 at 16:21 comment added Bill Johnson Here is a much easier question: Does there exist a non surjective bounded linear operator from some Banach space into $\ell_\infty$ that has dense range? I see how to do this but the argument uses something that is not elementary. Is there a simple reason such an operator exists?
Jul 4, 2012 at 19:15 comment added András Bátkai Even the existence of densely defined closed unbounded operators is nontrivial, see Nagel (ed.): One parameter Semigroups of Positive Operators, page 58. (the section by Lotz on semigroups in Grothendieck spaces).
Jul 4, 2012 at 17:27 comment added András Bátkai There is a theorem of Lotz stating that there are no strongly continuous semigroups on $l^{\infty}$, meaning that if semigroup is strongly continuous, then the generator is bounded.

Added tag.
Jul 4, 2012 at 0:02 comment added Yemon Choi Just checking, Bill :-)
Jul 3, 2012 at 23:25 comment added Bill Johnson Surely, Yemon; for the weak$^*$ topology the problem is trivial.

Formatting; punctuation.
Jul 3, 2012 at 23:15 comment added Yemon Choi Just to clarify: I assume that the OP means "dense in the norm topology"?
Jul 3, 2012 at 22:48 comment added Bill Johnson I guess you mean also that $A$ should be closed and map its domain back into itself. I would have to review semigroup theory (or think more than I care to right now) to see if that is correct. Anyway, how do you get such an $A$?
Jul 3, 2012 at 22:07 comment added Matthias Ludewig If you take some unbounded densely defined operator A on l infty; does not the corresponding semigroup of operators take values in the domain of A?
Jul 3, 2012 at 21:41 comment added Bill Johnson Despite the two quick votes to close, I don't find this a trivial question. Am I missing something?
