126 <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong><br />

Define P : X → X by<br />

Px = ℓ 1 (x)v 1 +···+ℓ m (x)v m .<br />

It is clear that P is a continuous linear operator on X with range equal to V.<br />

Also we see that P 2 = P (since Pv i = v i for 1 ≤ i ≤ m). Hence V = ker(1l−P)<br />

is closed, since (1l−P) is continuous, and W = kerP is a closed complementary<br />

subspace for V. We note, in passing, that W = � m<br />

i=1 kerℓ i .<br />
