proof of Banach-Steinhaus theorem
Let
From the hypothesis, we have that
Also, each is closed, since it can be written as
where is the closed ball centered at with radius in ,and each of the sets in the intersection is closed due to the continuity of the operators.Now since is a Banach space
, Baire’s category theorem
implies that there exists such that hasnonempty interior. So there is and suchthat . Thus if , we have
for each , and so
so if , we have
and this means that
for all .
