Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(F\): \(\in \{\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}\}\), with the canonical field structure
\(V_1\): \(\in \{\text{ the } F \text{ normed vectors spaces }\}\), with the metric induced by the norm
\(V_2\): \(\in \{\text{ the } F \text{ normed vectors spaces }\}\), with the metric induced by the norm
\(f\): \(: V_1 \to V_2\), \(\in \{\text{ the 'normed vectors spaces - linear isometries' isomorphisms }\}\)
//

Statements:
\(V_1 \in \{\text{ the complete metric spaces }\}\)
\(\implies\)
\(V_2 \in \{\text{ the complete metric spaces }\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take any Cauchy sequence on \(V_2\), \(s\), and see that \(f^{-1} \circ s\) is a Cauchy sequence on \(V_1\) and take the convergence of \(f^{-1} \circ s\), \(v\); Step 2: see that \(f (v)\) is the convergence of \(s\).

Step 1:

Let \(s: \mathbb{N} \to V_2\) be any Cauchy sequence.

\(f^{-1} \circ s\) is a Cauchy sequence on \(V_1\), by the proposition that any linear 'normed vectors space' isometry maps any Cauchy sequence to a Cauchy sequence.

As \(V_1\) is complete, \(f^{-1} \circ s\) converges to a \(v \in V_1\), which is in fact the unique convergence, by the proposition that the topological space induced by any metric is Hausdorff and the proposition that for any Hausdorff topological space, any net with directed index set can have only 1 convergence at most.

Step 2:

Let us see that \(f (v)\) is the convergence of \(s\).

Let \(\epsilon \in \mathbb{R}\) be any such that \(0 \lt \epsilon\).

There is an \(N \in \mathbb{N}\) such that for each \(n \in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(N \lt n\), \(dist (f^{-1} \circ s (n), v) = \Vert f^{-1} \circ s (n) - v \Vert \lt \epsilon\).

But \(\Vert s (n) - f (v) \Vert = \Vert f (f^{-1} \circ s (n)) - f (v) \Vert = \Vert f (f^{-1} \circ s (n) - v) \Vert\), because \(f\) is linear, \(= \Vert f^{-1} \circ s (n) - v \Vert\), because \(f\) is isometric, so, \(\Vert s (n) - f (v) \Vert \lt \epsilon\).

That means that \(s\) converges to \(f (v)\).

So, \(V_2\) is complete.
