Question:
Show that the real vector space consisting of all real-valued continuous function on the interval
[
0
,
1
]
[0, 1]
[0,1] is infinite-dimensional.
证明区间
[
0
,
1
]
[0, 1]
[0,1]上的所有实值连续函数构成的实向量空间是无限维的。
Solution:
Since we know the subspace of finite-dimensional vector space is a finite-dimensional vector space, if a space’s subspace is infinite-dimensional, this space will be infinite-dimensional.
Now think about
P
(
F
)
P(\mathbb{F})
P(F) on the interval [0, 1]. Take a list of polynomials of the
P
(
F
)
P(\mathbb{F})
P(F). Let m be the maximum power of this list of polynomials. Then the highest power of polynomials in the span of this polynomial list is
m
m
m. Therefor the polynomials whose highest power is
m
+
1
m + 1
m+1 are not belong to this span. Thus there not exist any list can span
P
(
F
)
P(\mathbb{F})
P(F). Hence
P
(
F
)
P(\mathbb{F})
P(F) is infinite-dimensional.
Since
p
(
F
)
p(\mathbb{F})
p(F) is a subspace of the vector space V (which is consists of all real-valued continuous functions on the interval
[
0
,
1
]
[0, 1]
[0,1]), V is infinite-dimensional.
