Question 21

Can a Banach Space be reflexive?

Answer 21

Yes, if it is isomorphic to its double dual, meaning each element of the space corresponds uniquely to an element of its double dual. Such a space has the property that every bounded sequence contains a weakly convergent subsequence.

Answer 22

A function f is Lebesgue Integrable if its Lebesgue Measure is finite.
