Operator norm of $T:l^{2}rightarrow l^{1}$ where $Tx=(x_{1},x_{2}/2,x_{3}/3,x_{4}/4,…)$

$begingroup$


As the title states, I need to compute the operator norm of a linear operator
$T:l^{2}rightarrow l^{1}$, where



$$Tx=left(x_{1},frac{x_{2}}{2},frac{x_{3}}{3},frac{x_{4}}{4},... right)$$



Using Holder's inequality for any sequence $(x_{i})_{igeq 1}in l^{2}$, we can show



begin{align}
|Tx|_{1}&=sum_{i=1}^{infty}=|x_{1}|+left|frac{x_{2}}{2}right|+left|frac{x_{3}}{3}right|+cdots\
&=|x_{1}||1|+|x_{2}|left|frac{1}{2}right|+|x_{3}|left|frac{1}{3}right|+cdots \
&leq left|x_{i}right|_{2}left|frac{1}{i}right|_{2} \
&=frac{pi}{sqrt{6}}|(x_{i})|_{2}
end{align}



Hence



$$displaystyle |Tx|_{1}leqfrac{pi}{sqrt{6}}|(x_{i})|_{2}implies||T||leqfrac{pi}{sqrt{6}}$$



However, I am unable to find a sequence in $l_{2}$ which has norm $|(x_{i})|leq 1$ so that I may use the property $||T||=text{sup}_{|(x_{i})|_{2}=1}|Tx|_{1}$.



Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    You can use |T| to get $|T|$. It's claimed that this is better than ||T||, which gives $||T||$.

Let $x_i=frac c i, i=1,2cdots$ where $c$ is such that $csumlimits_{i=1}^{infty} x_i^{2}=1$. In other words, $c=frac {sqrt 6} {pi}$. Then $|T(x_i)|=sumlimits_{i=1}^{infty} frac c {i^{2}}$ which is exactly $frac {pi} {sqrt 6}$.
