Some subspaces are either closed or dense

$begingroup$


a) Let $a_{n}rightarrow 0$ and $M={xin ell^{2}:sum a_{n}x_{n}=0}$. Show
that the subspace $M$ of $ell^{2}$ is closed or dense according as $%
{a_{n}}in ell^{2}$
or ${a_{n}}notin ell^{2}$.



b) Let $g$ be any positive measurable function on $[0,1]$. Let $$N=left{fin
L^{2}([0,1]):int_{0}^{1}f(x)g(x)dx=0right}$$
Prove that $N$ is closed
or dense in $L^{2}([0,1])$ according as $gin L^{2}([0,1])$ or $gnotin
L^{2}([0,1])$
.





Several special cases of this have appeared here. I am trying to consolidate these. I have provided an answer but my answer is probably not the best. I would look forward to comments, alternate proofs and generalizations.

          For a) take $xin l^{0}$ (the space of finitely non-zero sequences).
          Consider $x-c_{n}x^{(n)}$ where $x_{j}^{(n)}=frac{a_{j}}{b_{n}}$ for $jleq
          n$
          and $0$ for $j>n,c_{n}=-frac{sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{j}x_{j}}{%
          sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{j}^{2}}$
          and $b_{n}=sqrt{sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{j}^{2}}$. Note that $leftVert x^{(n)}rightVert =1$
          for each $n$ and $c_{n}rightarrow 0$ if ${a_{n}}notin l^{2}$. Hence $M$
          is dense in this case. If ${a_{n}}in l^{2}$ then $M$ is the orthogonal
          complement of ${a_{n}}$. hence it is closed.



          For b) first observe that any $fin L^{2}([0,1])$ can be approximated by
          a $hin L^{2}([0,1])$ such that $int_{0}^{1}leftvert
          h(x)g(x)rightvert dx<infty $
          . [ Take $h=fI_{{|fg|leq n}}$ ]. Now consider $%
          h-c_{n}frac{gI_{{|g|leq n}}}{b_{n}}$
          where $b_{n}=sqrt{int
          g(x)^{2}I_{{|g|leq n}}(x)dx}$
          and $c_{n}=-b_{n}frac{int_{0}^{1}h(x)g(x)dx}{int_{0}^{1}g^{2}I_{{|g|leq n}}dx}=%
          frac{int_{0}^{1}h(x)g(x)dx}{sqrt{int_{0}^{1}g^{2}I_{%
          {|g|leq n}}dx}}$
          . Note that $c_{n}rightarrow 0$ if $gnotin L^{2}([0,1])$
          and that $frac{gI_{{|g|leq n}}}{b_{n}}$ has norm $1$ for each $n$. The
          proof is completed as in a).
