In Luenberger's Optimization book pg. 34 an example says "Let $X$ be the space of continuous functions on $[0,1]$ with norm defined as $\|x\| = \int_{0}^{1} |x(t)|dt$". In order to prove $X$ is incomplete, he defines a sequence of elements in $X$ by
$ x_n(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0 & 0 \le t \le \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{n} \\ \\ nt-\frac{n}{2} + 1 & \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{n} \le t \le \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ 1 & t \ge \frac{1}{2} \end{array} \right. $
Each member of the sequence is a continuous function and thus member of space $X$. Then he says:
the sequence is Cauchy since, as it is easily verified, $\|x_n - x_m\| = \frac{1}{2}\left|\dfrac1n - \dfrac1m\right| \to 0$.
as $n,m \to \infty$. I tried to verify the norm $\|x_n - x_m\|$ by computing the integral for the norm. The piecewise function is not dependent on $n,m$ on the last piece (for $t \ge 1/2$), so norm $\|x_n - x_m\|$ is 0. For the middle piece I calculated the integral, it comes up zero. That leaves the first piece, and I did not receive the result Luenberger has. Is there something wrong in my approach?
