Definition

Let $T$ be a one-to-one linear operator $T:\, X\to Y$. Then the inverse operator $T^{-1}$ is defined as
$$
T^{-1} y = x \qquad {\text if} \qquad Tx=y.
$$
Note that domain $T^{-1}$ is a linear subspace of $Y$.

Theorem. (AFr 4.6.2)

Let $X$ and $Y$ be a Banach spaces and let $T$ be a one-to-one bounded linear map from $X$ onto $Y$. Then $T^{-1}$ is a bounded map.

Corollary. (AFr 4.6.3)

Let $X$ be Banach spaces equipped with either $\|\cdot\|_1$ or $\|\cdot\|_2$. Suppose that there exists a constant $K$ s.t.
$$
\|x\|_1\le K\, \|x\|_2 \qquad {\text{ for all}} \qquad x\in X.
$$
Then there exists a constant $K'$ s.t.
$$
\|x\|_2\le K'\, \|x\|_1 \qquad {\text{ for all}} \qquad x\in X.
$$

Definition.

Let $X$ and $Y$ be linear vector spaces and let $T:\, X\to Y$, where $T$ is defined on $D_T$. Then
$$
G_T = \{(x, Tx): \, x\in D_T\}
$$
is called the graph of $T$.

If $G_T$ is a closed set in $X\times Y$ then we say that $T$ is a closed operator.

Note that $T$ is closed iff
$$
x_n\in D_T \quad x_n\to x, \quad Tx_n \to y \Longrightarrow x\in D_T, \quad Tx=y.
$$

Theorem. (AFr 4.6.4) (Closed graph theorem)

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces and let $T:\, X\to Y$ be a linear operator with $D_T = X$. If $T$ is closed then $T$ is continuous.

Definition.

Let $X$ and $Y$ be linear vector spaces and let $T:\, X\to Y$ defined on $D_T$. A linear operator $S:\, X\to Y$ is called an extension of $T$ if $D_T\subset D_S$ and $Tx = Sx$ for all $x\in D_T$.

Definition.

Let $X$ be a linear vector space and $Y$ be a normed space. Let $T:\, X\to Y$ defined on $D_T$. Suppose that there exists $S$ such that (i) $S$ is a closed linear operator
(ii) $S$ is an extension of $T$
(iii) If $S'$ satisfies (i) and (ii), then $S'$ is an extension of $S$.
Then we say that $S$ is a s closure of $T$. The closure of $T$ is denoted by $\overline T$.

Theorem. (AFr 4.7.1)

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces. $T$ has a closure $\overline T$ {\it iff} $$ x_n\in D_T \quad x_n\to 0, \quad Tx_n \to y \Longrightarrow y=0. $$
