If $|f(x) | leq |x|$, then the sup norm $| f | = 1$

Recall $| f | = sup {|f| : x in M, | x | leq 1 }$, then if $|f(x) | leq |x|$, then the sup norm $| f | = 1$?



This was used in a proof in Rudin's Real and Complex analysis in his Hahn Banach theorem proof.



Doesn't this only show $| f | leq 1$? How do I get the other inequality?

  • Can you provide more context for how this statement is used in the proof? Perhaps the fact that $lVert frVertge 1$ is implicitly true based on some other property of $f$. (For example, if $f$ is defined so that it is an extension to a larger domain of a function with norm $1$, then the norm of $f$ would have to be at least $1$.)

As stated in the text, if $|f| = 0$, then $fequiv 0$ the desired extension is $Fequiv 0$.



Otherwise, replace $f$ with $tilde f=dfrac{f}{|f|}$ and proceed with the proof. At the end, you get an extension $tilde F$ for $tilde f$. Then the desired extension for $f$ is just $F(x) := |f|cdot tilde F(x)$, which works by linearity.
