If is a bounded linear operator, linearity gives . It is therefore Lipschitz and continuous everywhere.
Conversely, suppose is continuous at zero. There is such that implies . For , apply this to and use homogeneity:
The value at is zero by linearity. Consequently
Thus boundedness and continuity are equivalent for linear maps between normed spaces. No finite dimensionality or completeness is needed for this equivalence.
