$\ell^p$ = $\{${$\{a_n\}_1^n$:$\sum\limits_{i=1}^\infty$ $|a_n|$ $\textless$ $\infty$$\}$
And \[||\ell^p||=(\sum\limits_{i=1}^\infty|a_n|^p)^{\frac{1}{P}}\]
 $(\ell^p)^*$$\cong$$\ell^q$ s.t $\frac{1}{q}$+$\frac{1}{p}$=1
$(\ell^p)^{**}$=$(\ell^q)^*=(\ell^p)$=$(\ell^p)\oplus\emptyset$ 

Note that for $\ell^2$, ${\ell^2}^*$$\cong$${\ell^2}$ this is because $\ell^2$ is a Hilbert space.
A Hilbert Space ,$\mathcal{H}$, is a vector space over $\mathbb{C}$ with an inner product such that $\mathcal{H}$ is complete in the metric d(x,y)=$||x-y||$=${\langle x-y,x-y\rangle}^{\frac{1}{2}}$

And for $\ell^\infty=\{\{a_n\}: \sup |a_n| \lt \infty\}$

$$ (\ell^\infty)^* \cong \ell^1\oplus {\rm Null}C_0 (\ell^\infty)^{**}=({\ell}^1)^*\oplus\operatorname{Null}C_0)^*$$

but $(\ell^1)^\ast=\ell^\infty$ hence
$$ (\ell^\infty)^{**} = \ell^\infty \oplus({\rm Null} C_0)^* $$

Seeing this pattern is the double dual of any space X can be written in the form of $X\oplus Y s.t Y is any other space?
