Question regarding weak convergence












0












$begingroup$


I'm doing my bachelor's thesis and I have stumbled upon a certain reoccurring thing in some of the proofs I have to make. The book that I use keeps on arguing that it is possible to assume weak convergence, but I can't quite see how they can argue that. I can give an example: In a proof, it has been shown that



$$||varphi^{delta}||leq ||varphi||$$



here $varphi^{delta}$ is a perturbed solution and $varphi$ is the true solution. In the book, they then proceed to say that because of this inequality, weak convergence $varphi_nrightharpoonupvarphi_0in X$ can be assumed ($X$ is a Hilbert space). Furthermore, in the proof ${varphi_{n}}$ is a sequence where $varphi_{n}:=varphi^{delta_n}$, where ${delta_n}$ is a null sequence.



If anyone can help me realize how weak convergence can be assumed that would be highly appreciated. Also, if more information about the statement of weak convergence is needed, then please let me know.



Thanks in advance!

          Any Hilbert space is a reflexive Banach space. In a reflexive Banach space, any closed ball is weakly sequentially compact by Eberlein-Smulian theorem. Hence, if you pick $${varphi^{delta_n}}_{ngeq 1},$$ such that $delta_n to 0$, you can find a subsequence $n(k)$ such that ${varphi_{n(k)}}_{kgeq 1}$ is weakly convergent.

            Any Hilbert space is a reflexive Banach space. In a reflexive Banach space, any closed ball is weakly sequentially compact by Eberlein-Smulian theorem. Hence, if you pick $${varphi^{delta_n}}_{ngeq 1},$$ such that $delta_n to 0$, you can find a subsequence $n(k)$ such that ${varphi_{n(k)}}_{kgeq 1}$ is weakly convergent.
