<strong>Consequences</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Hahn</strong>-<strong>Banach</strong> <strong>the</strong>orems<br />

Theorem<br />

(Theorem 3.6) Let X be a locally convex topological vector space<br />

and M ⊆ X a subspace. If f : M → Φ is a continuous linear<br />

functional on M, <strong>the</strong>re is an l ∈ X ∗ such that l|M = f .<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>.<br />

We may assume that f is not identically 0.<br />

Set<br />

M0 = {x ∈ M : f (x) = 0}.<br />

and choose x0 ∈ M such that f (x0) = 1.<br />
