Linear Analysis | Part II, 2017

(a) Let XX be a normed vector space and YXY \subset X a closed subspace with YXY \neq X. Show that YY is nowhere dense in XX.

(b) State any version of the Baire Category theorem.

(c) Let XX be an infinite-dimensional Banach space. Show that XX cannot have a countable algebraic basis, i.e. there is no countable subset (xk)kNX\left(x_{k}\right)_{k \in \mathbb{N}} \subset X such that every xXx \in X can be written as a finite linear combination of elements of (xk)\left(x_{k}\right).
