If $X$ is a normed linear space and $X^*$ be its completion, consider a linear functional $f$ belonging to X' which is a closed map. By Hahn-Banach extension there exists a linear functional $f_1 \colon X^*\to\mathbb R$, s.t. $f_1$ restricted to $X$ is $f$ and $||f_1||=||f||$. Question: is $f_1$ also closed?

    And so $f$ would be bounded too. So this cannot happen, unless $f$ was already bounded.2012-02-14
