Bounded inverse theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the bounded inverse theorem (or inverse mapping theorem) is a result in the theory of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces. It states that a bijective bounded linear operator T from one Banach space to another has bounded inverse T−1. It is equivalent to both the open mapping theorem and the closed graph theorem.

Generalization[]

Theorem[1] — If A : XY is a continuous linear bijection from a complete pseudometrizable topological vector space (TVS) onto a Hausdorff TVS that is a Baire space, then A : XY is a homeomorphism (and thus an isomorphism of TVSs).

Counterexample[]

This theorem may not hold for normed spaces that are not complete. For example, consider the space X of sequences x : N → R with only finitely many non-zero terms equipped with the supremum norm. The map T : X → X defined by

is bounded, linear and invertible, but T−1 is unbounded. This does not contradict the bounded inverse theorem since X is not complete, and thus is not a Banach space. To see that it's not complete, consider the sequence of sequences x(n) ∈ X given by

converges as n → ∞ to the sequence x(∞) given by

which has all its terms non-zero, and so does not lie in X.

The completion of X is the space of all sequences that converge to zero, which is a (closed) subspace of the p space(N), which is the space of all bounded sequences. However, in this case, the map T is not onto, and thus not a bijection. To see this, one need simply note that the sequence

is an element of , but is not in the range of .
