The problem

(Exam style.) On ℓ2\ell^2, define the right shift S(x1,x2,… )=(0,x1,x2,… )S(x_1, x_2, \dots) = (0, x_1, x_2, \dots) and D(x1,x2,… )=(x1,x22,x33,… )D(x_1, x_2, \dots) = (x_1, \frac{x_2}2, \frac{x_3}3, \dots). (a) Find ∥S∥\|S\| and ∥D∥\|D\|. (b) Show SS is not compact. (c) Show DD is compact.

Why is ‖S‖ = 1?
