Why isn't the theorem of approximation applicable in Banach spaces?

EDIT: since I'm not an expert on Banach spaces, I feel I shouldn't say anything more, but anyway; an essential ingredient is an exact formula in Hilbert spaces for $\|x + y\|^2$. Just an idea (perhaps …

The Frechet derivative and Lagrange multipliers on Banach spaces

NOTE: this was a comment, because I thought it wasn't detailed enough for an answer; but Jules (the OP) specifically asked me to post it as an answer. NOTE to Jules: However, maybe you should wait a …

Does this sequence span $L^2$?

Not an answer, but maybe helpful. These questions can be much harder than they look. There is a simple-looking, explicit set of functions $\{f_\alpha \} \subset L^2(0,1; dx/x)$ (see Operators, Funct …

Existence of weak limits

For functions, the answer is NO, i.e. the limit need not be a function. Let $I_h=(2h)^{-1} \chi_{[-h,h]}$, so that $I_h$ approximates the Dirac delta as $h \to 0^+$. You are considering $I_h * f_\lam …

Let a function f have all moments zero. What conditions force f to be identically zero?

Throughout, let $f$ be a Lebesgue measurable function (or continuous if you wish, but this is probably no easier). (Questions with distributions etc. are possible also but I want to keep things simple …

What, exactly, has Louis de Branges proved about the Riemann Hypothesis?

I know this is a dangerous topic which could attract many cranks and nutters, but: According to Wikipedia [and probably his own website, but I have a hard time seeing exactly what he's claiming] Louis …
