The bounded inverse theorem states that a bounded bijective linear map between Banach spaces has a bounded inverse.
The closed graph theorem states that if and are Banach spaces and is linear, then is continuous if and only if its graph
is closed in the Banach space .
If is continuous and , then , so uniqueness of limits gives . Hence the graph is closed.
Conversely, suppose is closed. It is then a Banach space. The coordinate projection
is bounded and bijective. By the bounded inverse theorem, is bounded. Composing it with the bounded second-coordinate projection gives
so is continuous.
