In the mathematical field of functional analysis, the space denoted by c is the vector space of all convergent sequences ( x n ) {\displaystyle \left(x_{n}\right)} of real numbers or complex numbers. When equipped with the uniform norm: x = sup n | x n | {\displaystyle \|x\|_{\infty }=\sup _{n}|x_{n}|} the space c {\displaystyle c} becomes a Banach space. It is a closed linear subspace of the space of bounded sequences, {\displaystyle \ell ^{\infty }} , and contains as a closed subspace the Banach space c 0 {\displaystyle c_{0}} of sequences converging to zero. The dual of c {\displaystyle c} is isometrically isomorphic to 1 , {\displaystyle \ell ^{1},} as is that of c 0 . {\displaystyle c_{0}.} In particular, neither c {\displaystyle c} nor c 0 {\displaystyle c_{0}} is reflexive.

In the first case, the isomorphism of 1 {\displaystyle \ell ^{1}} with c {\displaystyle c^{*}} is given as follows. If ( x 0 , x 1 , ) 1 , {\displaystyle \left(x_{0},x_{1},\ldots \right)\in \ell ^{1},} then the pairing with an element ( y 0 , y 1 , ) {\displaystyle \left(y_{0},y_{1},\ldots \right)} in c {\displaystyle c} is given by x 0 lim n y n + i = 0 x i + 1 y i . {\displaystyle x_{0}\lim _{n\to \infty }y_{n}+\sum _{i=0}^{\infty }x_{i+1}y_{i}.}

This is the Riesz representation theorem on the ordinal ω {\displaystyle \omega } .

For c 0 , {\displaystyle c_{0},} the pairing between ( x i ) {\displaystyle \left(x_{i}\right)} in 1 {\displaystyle \ell ^{1}} and ( y i ) {\displaystyle \left(y_{i}\right)} in c 0 {\displaystyle c_{0}} is given by i = 0 x i y i . {\displaystyle \sum _{i=0}^{\infty }x_{i}y_{i}.}
