Showing the set of polynomials of degree $>n$ is open in the set of polynomials with norm...












1












$begingroup$


Let $(X,|.|)$ be the normed vector space of polynomials with $|p_0+p_1t+dots+p_nt^n|=max{|p_0|,dots,|p_n|}$ with normal addition and multiplication by a scalar.



I have proved that $U_n={P(t) :deg P>n}$ is dense in $(X,|.|)=$polynomials over $Bbb R$ with the $max|p_i|$ norm:




for any $Pin X$ and $delta>0$ if $deg P>n$ then $Pin U_ncap B(P,delta)neemptyset$



If $deg Ple n$ then $Q:=P+{deltaover2}t^{n+1}$ is in the ball $B(P,delta)$ and in $U_n$ simultaneously so $U_n$ is dense since $P$ and $delta$ were arbitrary




But for proving that $U_n$ is open for any $ninBbb N$ I'm not sure if this is ok:




Let $Pin U_n$ and $d:=deg P$. Let $r:=min{|p_i|:iin{n,dots,d}, p_ine 0}$



If $Qin B(P,r)$ then if $deg Qle n$, $|P-Q|ge|p_{n+1}t^{n+1}+p_{n+2}t^{n+2}+dots+p_dt^d|ge r$




Does that make sense?

I don't know where does the inequality $lVert P-QrVertgeqslantlVert p_nt^n+p_{n+1}t^{n+1}+dots+p_dt^drVertgeqslant r$ came from (or what it means).



Note that, by the definition $lVertcdotrVert$, if $P(x)=p_Nx^N+p_{N-1}x^{N-1}+cdots+p_0in U_n$, and $Q(x)in Bbigl(P(x),lvert p_Nrvertbigr)$, then $Q(x)in U_n$. Therefore, $U_n$ is an open set.

    $p_n$ could be zero though The inequality comes from the fact that taking the maximum over a larger set that contains another set is $ge$ than the maximum over that smaller set. But it should probably be $n+1$ instead of $n$
