The Banach-Steinhaus theorem: Uniform Boundedness Principle

Herein we prove the Banach-Steinhaus theorem for normed spaces: any collection of bounded linear maps from a Banach space into a normed space which is pointwise bounded is uniformly bounded.

Note that we prove the more general version about barrelled spaces in Analysis.LocallyConvex.Barrelled, and the usual version below is indeed deduced from the more general setup.

This is the standard Banach-Steinhaus theorem, or Uniform Boundedness Principle. If a family of continuous linear maps from a Banach space into a normed space is pointwise bounded, then the norms of these linear maps are uniformly bounded.

See also WithSeminorms.banach_steinhaus for the general statement in barrelled spaces.

This version of Banach-Steinhaus is stated in terms of suprema of ↑‖·‖₊ : ℝ≥0∞ for convenience.

Given a sequence of continuous linear maps which converges pointwise and for which the domain is complete, the Banach-Steinhaus theorem is used to guarantee that the limit map is a continuous linear map as well.
