Let . For each , Bessel inequality givesso the th coordinate sequence is bounded. By the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, choose a subsequence on which the first coordinate converges. From it choose a further subsequence on which the second coordinate converges, and continue.
Take the diagonal subsequence . For every fixed , its th coordinate converges, and it remains bounded by . The coordinate criterion for weak convergence in a separable Hilbert space supplies an such thatThis proves the theorem on a weak subsequence of a bounded Hilbert-space sequence.
