Weighted summable sequence space isometry ($U(\alpha {)}_j=w_j{\alpha }_j$)

For positive weights $w_j$, the sequence space with norm $\Vert \alpha \Vert ={\sum }_j{w}_j|{\alpha }_j|$ is isometrically isomorphic to ${\ell }_1$: multiplication by $w_j$ is a linear bijection onto the absolutely summable sequence space, with inverse multiplication by $w_j^{-1}$. Thus it is a separable Banach space. Density can also be seen directly by truncating a weighted summable sequence and then approximating its finitely many coordinates by rational numbers.
