Reflexivity of a Banach Space with a Countable Vector Space Basis

Abstract

All most all the function spaces over real or complex domains and spaces of sequences, that arise in practice as examples of normed complete linear spaces (Banach spaces), are reflexive. These Banach spaces are dual to their respective spaces of continuous linear functionals over the corresponding Banach spaces. For each of these Banach spaces, a countable vector space basis exists, which is responsible for their reflexivity. In this paper, a specific criterion for reflexivity of a Banach space with a countable vector space basis is presented.
