Let , the finitely supported sequences, with the norm. This normed space is not complete. Let and define
Both maps are bounded, and is injective. Moreover
because multiplication of a finitely supported sequence by preserves finite support. But
so while . Hence is not continuous, showing that completeness of is essential.
