Convergence of $T_n^2\to T^2$

54 Views Asked by At

Given $E$ Banach space and a sequence of continuous operators $(T_n)_n$ with $T_n:E\to E$.

If $T_n\to T$, is it true that $T_n^2\to T^2$?

I think it is true because I don't find any counterexample, but I don't know how to prove it. Thank you!

If $T_n\to T$ means convergence in the operator norm, then we have

$$||T_n^2-T^2||=||T_n^2-T_nT+T_nT-T^2|| \le (||T_n||+||T||)||T_n-T||.$$

Can you proceed ?
