a complete space

86 Views Asked by At

Define a set $$X=\left\{f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}|f \mbox{ is n-times continuously differentiable}\right\}$$ equipped with the norm $$||y||=\max_{\begin{subarray}{l} 0\le i\le n \\ x\in \mathbb{R} \end{subarray}}\left|y^{(i)}(x)\right|, $$ where $n$ is a fixed positive number. Is $X$ a complete space? If it is not, please give me a counter example.

I know that the space$\left\{f:[a,b]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}|f \mbox{ is n-times continuously differentiable}\right\}$ with the above norm is complete, but it seems that if the interval is unbounded, the situation is different.
