The differentiation operator sends a differentiable function to its derivative; its domain and the norms must be specified. On C1([−1,1]) with values in C([−1,1]), using the supremum norm on both, it is an unbounded linear operator: fn​(x)=sin(nx) satisfies ∥fn​∥∞​≤1 and ∥Dfn​∥∞​=n. Its graph norm is ∥f∥∞​+∥f′∥∞​, which is complete. Indeed, the kernel consists of constants and is complete, while Sg(x)=∫0x​g(t)dt is a bounded right inverse by the fundamental theorem of calculus; apply completeness of a graph norm from a bounded right inverse.
