Given an averaging operator $A: l_p rightarrow l_p$, why $A$ is not compact












2












$begingroup$


Let $A$ be an operator $A: l_p rightarrow l_p , 1 <p<infty$
$$A(x_1, ..., x_n, ...)=left(x_1, frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, ..., frac{x_1+...+x_n}{n}, ...right)$$
I want to show that operator $A$ is not compact. I want to prove it using one of the equivalent definitions of operator compactness: I want to show that the image of unit ball $A(B_1)=left{ left(x_1, frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, ..., frac{x_1+...+x_n}{n}right) : ||x_n||_{l_p}le 1 right} $ is not relatively compact.



I have a criterion for that: I know that the subset $K subset l_p $ is relatively compact iff $K$ is bounded and $lim_{Nrightarrowinfty}sup_ {x in K}sum_{n=N}^{infty}|x_n|^p=0$ so I want to show that my $A(B_1)$ doesn't satisfy this criterion.



I would be grateful for any help!

Let $N$ be a fixed integer and let $v=v^{(N)}$ be the vector defined by $v_i=2^{-(N+1)/p}$ for $1leqslant ileqslant 2^{N+1}$ and $0$ otherwise. Then $v$ belongs to the unit ball. Moreover, for $2^{N}+1leqslant nleqslant 2^{N+1}$, the $n$-th coordinate of $Av$, denoted $(Av)(n)$, satisfies
$$
(Av)(n)=2^{-(N+1)/p}frac 1ncdot n=2^{-(N+1)/p}
$$

hence
$$
sum_{n=2^N+1}^{2^{N+1}}leftlvert (Av)(n)rightrvert^p=2^Nleft(2^{-(N+1)/p}right)^p=2^{-1}.
$$

This proves, by the mentioned compactness criterion, that the set $left{Av^{(N)},Ngeqslant 1right}$ is not relatively compact in $ell^p$ hence that $A$ is not a compact operator.
