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 .
