Equivalent family of norms on the Schwartz space

1k Views Asked by At

We consider the following two families of seminorms on the Schwartz space and want to show that they induce the same topology.

First family: $(\| \cdot \|_N) $ for $N \in \mathbb{N}$ defined by $$ \| f \|_N=\sup_{\vert \alpha \vert \leq N} \sup_{x\in \mathbb{R}^n} (1+\vert x \vert ^2)^N \vert (\partial^\alpha f)(x) \vert. $$

Second family: $(\| \cdot \|_{(K,\alpha)})$ for $K \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\alpha$ a multi-index defined by $$ \| f \|_{(K,\alpha)}=\sup_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} (1+\vert x \vert)^K \vert (\partial^\alpha f)(x)\vert. $$

I am not very familiar with Frechet spaces but from my topological knowledge I suspect that it is sufficient to show $$ \| f \|_N \leq C \sum_{i=1}^l \| f \|_{(K_i,\alpha_i)} $$ for some for each $N \in \mathbb{N}$, $C>0$ and $l,K_i\in \mathbb{N}$ and some multi-indices $\alpha_i$ where $C,l,K_i,\alpha_i$ may depend on $N$ and

$$ \| f \|_{(K,\alpha)} \leq C \sum_{i=1}^l \| f \|_{N_i} $$

for each $K \in \mathbb{N}$ and each multi-index $\alpha$ for some $C>0$, some $l \in \mathbb{N}$ and $N_i \in \mathbb{N}$ where $C,l,N_i$ may depend on $K$ and $\alpha$.

Is this approach correct or do I need to change something?
