I am reading a book about functional analysis and there is one thing I really don't understand. Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space. And $U \subset \mathcal{H}$ a closed subspace. Is it possible to choose an orthonormal basis $\{e_{i}\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ such that there exists a subsequence of the $e_{i}$'s that span $U$ ?

0my question is: if there exists $B = \{e_{i_{k}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ such that $B$ is an orthonormal basis of $U$? – 2011-10-25
