How to detect reflexivity of the closure

60 Views Asked by At

Consider the space of continuous bounded functions on a bounded interval.

Its closure for the Lebesgue $L_p$ norm is reflexive when $1 < p < \infty$, but it is not reflexive for $p = 1$.

How can reflexivity of the closure be detected by just looking at the original vector space and the chosen norm?

What happens for the $p = \infty$ case in the above situation?
