State the closed graph theorem.

(i) Let XX be a Banach space and YY a vector space. Suppose that YY is endowed with two norms 1\|\cdot\|_{1} and 2\|\cdot\|_{2} and that there is a constant c>0c>0 such that y2cy1\|y\|_{2} \geqslant c\|y\|_{1} for all yYy \in Y. Suppose that YY is a Banach space with respect to both norms. Suppose that T:XYT: X \rightarrow Y is a linear operator, and that it is bounded when YY is endowed with the 1\|\cdot\|_{1} norm. Show that it is also bounded when YY is endowed with the 2\|\cdot\|_{2} norm.

(ii) Suppose that XX is a normed space and that (xn)n=1X\left(x_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty} \subseteq X is a sequence with n=1f(xn)<\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left|f\left(x_{n}\right)\right|<\infty for all ff in the dual space XX^{*}. Show that there is an MM such that

n=1f(xn)Mf\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left|f\left(x_{n}\right)\right| \leqslant M\|f\|

for all fXf \in X^{*}.

(iii) Suppose that XX is the space of bounded continuous functions f:RRf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} with the sup norm, and that YXY \subseteq X is the subspace of continuously differentiable functions with bounded derivative. Let T:YXT: Y \rightarrow X be defined by Tf=fT f=f^{\prime}. Show that the graph of TT is closed, but that TT is not bounded.
