An application of complement functor

I would like to provide an approach for b) from the homological algebra perspective.

The theorem we will use was proved by Kuang-wei Yang in the paper Completion of Normed Linear Spaces.

Here N∗ is the category of normed linear space with contraction maps, and B∗ is the category of Banach space with contraction maps.

Now apply the theorem above, let T:=∫01(−)dt:C[0,1]→R, we have the following normal exact sequence

0→P→iP[0,1]→T|P[0,1]R→0

Remark. It is easy to see that it is exact, for normal, consider

|r|P[0,1]/P=inf{∥p∥∞:T(p)=r}=|r|

 

Apply the complement functor, we have the following normal exact sequence

0→A(P)→A(i)A(P[0,1])→A(T|P[0,1])A(R)→0

Here A(P[0,1])=C[0,1],A(T|P[0,1])=T,A(R)=R, hence A(P)=V.
