It follows easily that ktk 1 3 1 note that we may assume that kt k0 otherwise t 0 and hence is obviously continuous. When it exists, the vector corresponding to a functional is sometimes called the riesz representation of that functional. Heres another proof of the riesz representation theorem. Most of these are due in part to frigyes riesz, and many of them are named after him. Let v be the set of all real sequences with only finitely many nonzero entries, with the obvious inner product let t be the summation functional then the kernel of t is the set of all real sequences with only finitely many nonzero entries that sum to zero.
