Triangle inequality for linear operators












1












$begingroup$


For a linear operator $R in B(X,Y)$ and some $k in mathbb{R}_{>0}$, do we have
$$(forall x in X:lVert R(x) rVert leq k lVert x rVert) Rightarrow lVert R rVert leq k
$$
?



I'd like to use this fact to prove the triangle inequality for norms of linear operators $S, T in B(X,Y)$, of which I know that



$$forall x in X:lVert (S+T)(x)rVert leq (lVert S rVert + rVert T lVert) lVert xrVert
$$

          Note that
          $$|R|=sup{|R(x)|:xin X,|x|=1}.$$
          Indeed, write $p(R)=sup{|R(x)|:xin X,|x|=1}$. Since
          $${|R(x)|:xin X,|x|=1}subset{|R(x)|:xin X,|x|leq1},$$
          we have $p(R)leq|R|$. On the other hand, if $0<|x|leq1$, then
          $$|R(x)|leqfrac{1}{|x|}|R(x)|=left|Rleft(frac{x}{|x|}right)right|leq p(R).$$
          Taking the supremum over all such $x$ yields $|R|leq p(R)$, and thus $|R|=p(R)$.



          If now $xin X$ and $|x|=1$, then by assumption $|R(x)|leq k|x|=k$. Thus $k$ is an upper bound of ${|R(x)|:xin X,|x|=1}$, whence $|R|leq k$.
