The next result shows that is a Banach space with respect to a special norm. This result, whose proof follows ideas similar to those of [124, 220], will be largely used in. Chapters 5 and 8
Proposition 1.9: The space , equipped with the norm

Proof. Let be the linear mapping defined by

Therefore, is onto and the Claim is proved.
Once is an isometric isomorphism and is a Banach space, we conclude that is also a Banach space.
