Let be a subspace of , a functional space consisting of real-value continuous functions over the interval , such that
, and define the norm as .
Then, define linear operator as
I can show that is bounded by using some inequalities, but what is the operator norm ?
So far, I hypothesize that , by considering the definition , and then thinking of a continuous function that is very close to this one:
(I know this is not even continuous, but I'm thinking of an intuitive way to estimate by thinking of a function that satisfies , and would give the maximum of .)
And then I get the by calculating (assume )
and finding the maximum value of the result ( at )
Where do I go from here? How can I give a more mathematical approach to calculating ? Thank you in advance.
