For each positive integer , let have its first coordinates equal to one and all later coordinates zero. This is an element of the l-p sequence space for every finite , and
No constant can bound by a fixed multiple of for all . Thus and are not Lipschitz equivalent.
For with , let
Then
because the defining nonnegative series converges. Thus is dense in the l-p sequence space for every finite ; this is the density of finitely supported sequences in l-p.
It is not dense in the l-infinity sequence space. For the constant sequence and any finitely supported , some tail of is zero, so
Hence does not belong to the closure of .
Schur property of l1 2026-10-03
The l-p sequence space has the Schur property. If a weakly null sequence stayed bounded below in norm, coordinatewise convergence and summability would select disjoint blocks containing almost all of successive terms. A sequence in matching their signs on those blocks would pair uniformly positively with a subsequence, contradicting weak convergence through the duality of l1 and l infinity.
