I am reading this paper. In the proof of theorem 1, it is stated




By the Hahn-Banach theorem, there is a bounded linear functional on $C(I_n)$, call it $L$, with the property that $Lne 0$ but $L(R) = L(S) = 0$.




$C(I_n)$ is space of continuous functions on $[0,1]^n$. $S$ is a linear subspace in it. $R$ is the closure of $S$.



Can you explain to me why this statement is true?

Let $M=f+af_0:ain mathbb R$ where $f_0$ is any fixed element not in $R$. Define $T(f+af_0)=a$. If we show that this is continuous on the space spanned by $R cup f_0$ we can use Hahn Banach Theorem to get a continuous linear functional which is $0$ on $R$ and has the value $1$ at $f_0$. I will let you verify that $T$ is well defined. Suppose $f_n+a_nf_0 to g$. If $(a_n)$ is unbounded it has a subsequence $a_n'$ converging to $pm infty$. Dividing by this we get $frac f_n' a_n' +f_0=0$ which shows that $-f_0$ is the limit of sequence from $R$ which is a contardiction. Hence $(a_n)$ is bounded and it has subsequence converging to some $a$. we then get $f_n+a_nf_0 to g=f+af_0$ for some $f in R$ and $a=T(g)=lim a_n' =lim T(f_n'+a_n'f_0)$. By arguing with subsequences we see that $T$ is continuous.
