Theorem 4. A normed linear space that is the image of a Banach space by a bounded, linear, interior map is also a Banach space.
Proof. Let \( L : X \rightarrow Y \) be the bounded, linear, interior map. Assume that \( X \) is a Banach space.

Theorem 7 Let \( L \) be a continuous, linear, injective map from one Banach space into another. The range of \( L \) is closed if and only if \( L \) is bounded below: \( \mathop{\inf }\limits_{{\parallel x\parallel = 1}}\parallel {Lx}\parallel > 0 \) .
Proof. Assume first that \( \parallel {Lx}\parallel \geq c > 0 \) when \( \parallel x\parallel = 1 \) . By homogeneity, \( \parallel {Lx}\parallel \geq c\parallel x\parallel \) for all \( x \) . To prove that the range, \( \mathcal{R}\left( L\right) \), is closed, let \( {y}_{n} \in \mathcal{R}\left( L\right) \) and \(...

Theorem 8. A subspace of a normed linear space is closed if and only if it is weakly sequentially closed.
Proof. Let \( Y \) be a weakly sequentially closed subspace in the normed space \( X \) . If \( {y}_{n} \in Y \) and \( {y}_{n} \rightarrow y \), then \( {y}_{n} \rightharpoonup y \) and \( y \in Y \) .

Theorem 9. A linear continuous mapping between normed spaces is weakly sequentially continuous.
Proof. Let \( A : X \rightarrow Y \) be linear and norm-continuous. In order to prove that \( A \) is weakly continuous, let \( {x}_{n} \rightharpoonup x \) . For all \( \phi \in {Y}^{ * },\phi \circ A \in {X}^{ * } \) . Hence \( \phi \left( {A{x}_{n} - {Ax}}\right) \rightarrow 0 \) for all \( \phi \in {Y}^{ * } \) .

Theorem 10. Let \( X \) be a separable normed linear space, and \( \left\lbrack {\phi }_{n}\right\rbrack \) a bounded sequence in \( {X}^{ * } \) . Then there is a subsequence \( \left\lbrack {\phi }_{{n}_{i}}\right\rbrack \) that converges in the weak* sense to an element of \( {X}^{ * } \) .
Proof. Since \( X \) is separable, it contains a countable dense set, \( \left\{ {{x}_{1},{x}_{2},\ldots }\right\} \) . Since \( \left\lbrack {\phi }_{n}\right\rbrack \) is bounded, so is the sequence \( \left\lbrack {{\phi }_{n}\left( {x}_{1}\right) }\right\rbrack \) . We can therefore find an increasing sequence \( {...
