Finding the Spectrum of an element of $ell^infty$

$begingroup$


I have done Q.1.2.1 already and it is quite clear.But I am not sure about the next one.
enter image description here



How does the closure come into the picture. I have a feeling that it should be $f(S)$ only.



Am I missing something? Kindly Help!!!



Thanks & Regards in advance

          The spectrum of $finell^infty(S)$ definitely has to include (at least some) limit points of $f(S)$. Consider for example $S=mathbb N$, and $finell^infty(mathbb N)$ given by $f(n)=frac{1}{n}$. Then $0notin f(mathbb N)$, but $f$ is not invertible in $ell^infty(mathbb N)$, so $0$ must be in $sigma(f)$.



          As for the proof of the claim, here is a guideline for which you can fill in the details:



          Fix $finell^infty(S)$. If $lambdanotinoverline{f(S)}$, then there is some $varepsilon>0$ such that $|f(s)-lambda|geqvarepsilon$ for all $sin S$. Then show that $g:Stomathbb C$ defined by $g(s)=frac{1}{f(s)-lambda}$ is in $ell^infty(S)$, and an inverse to $f-lambda$.



          For the other direction, suppose $lambdain overline{f(S)}$. Then for each $varepsilon>0$, there is some $sin S$ such that $|f(s)-lambda|<varepsilon$. Then either $g$ as given above, is not well-defined, or has norm $>frac{1}{varepsilon}$, and since $varepsilon>0$ was arbitrary, we have $gnotinell^infty(S)$.
