Then \vspace{0.2in} \begin{tabular}{lll} (C1) $S$ bounded & $\Leftrightarrow$ & $\exists M>0$ s.t. $\parallel x \parallel \le M , \forall x \in S$ \\ (C2) $S$ compact & $\Leftrightarrow$ & Every sequence $\{ x_n \} \subset S$ contains \\ \ & \ & a convergent subsequence $\{x_{n_k}\}$ \\ & \ & which converges to $x\in S$ \\ (C3) $S$ bounded & $\not{\Rightarrow}$ & $S$ compact \\ (C4) $S$ (sequentially) compact & $\Rightarrow$ & $S$ closed and bounded \\ (C5) $S\equiv \{x\in H : \parallel x \parallel \le 1\}$ compact & $\Rightarrow$ & $dim(H) < \infty$ \end{tabular} \vspace{0.2in} \noindent {\bf Definition: Bounded Operator} An operator $L:H \rightarrow H$ is bounded if there exists some $M>0$ such that \eq \parallel L x \parallel \le M \parallel x \parallel \quad \forall x\in H \endeq \vspace{0.2in} \noindent {\bf Definition: Operator norm} For any bounded operator $L:H\rightarrow H$ we define the operator norm as \eq \parallel L \parallel_{op} \equiv \max_{\parallel x\parallel = 1} \parallel Lx \parallel = \max_{x\ne 0} \frac{\parallel Lx \parallel}{\parallel x \parallel} \endeq \vspace{0.2in} \noindent {\bf Definition: Compact Operator} An operator $K:H\rightarrow H$ is compact if it transforms bounded sets into compact sets. \vspace{0.3in} \noindent {\bf Compact and Bounded linear operators} \vspace{0.3in} \begin{tabular}{lll} (CO1) $K$ compact & $\Rightarrow$ & $K$ bounded \\ (CO2) $K$ linear, $dim(R(K))<\infty$ & $\Rightarrow$ & $K$ compact \\ (CO3) $K$ bounded, $\{\phi_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ orthonormal & $\Rightarrow$ & $\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty} K\phi_n = 0$ \\ (CO4) $K_n$ compact, $\parallel K_n -K\parallel_{op} \rightarrow 0$ & $\Rightarrow$ & $K$ compact \\ (CO5) $K$ compact & $\Leftrightarrow$ & $\{x_n\}\subset H$ bounded $\Rightarrow$ \\ \ & \ & $\{Lx_n\}$ has a convergent subsequence \\ (CO6) $K_1,K_2$ compact & $\Rightarrow$ & $K_1+K_2$ compact \end{tabular} \vspace{0.2in} \noindent Combining (CO4) and (CO6) we see the space of compact operators is a closed linear space using the operator norm. \end{document}
