If $Lambda$ is continuous at one point in $X$, then $Lambda$ is bounded on $X$.

This is taken from "Real and Complex Analysis" by Walter Rudin:




Theorem 5.4 For a linear transformation $Lambda$ of a normed linear space $X$ into a normed linear space $Y$, each of the following three conditions implies the other two:



(a) $Lambda$ is bounded



(b) $Lambda$ is continuous



(c) $Lambda$ is continuous at one point of $X$.



Proof: Since $|Lambda(x_1-x_2)| le |Lambda| |x_1-x_2|$, it is clear that (a) implies (b), and (b) implies (c) trivially. Suppose $Lambda$ is continuous at $x_0$. To each $epsilon > 0$, one can then find $delta > 0$ so that $|x-x_0|<delta$ implies $|Lambda x - Lambda x_0|<epsilon$. In other words, $|x|<delta$ implies $$|Lambda(x_0+x)-Lambda x_0|<epsilon.$$ But then the linearity of $Lambda$ shows that $|Lambda x|<epsilon$. Hence $|Lambda| le frac{epsilon}{delta}$, and (c) implies (a).




My question concerns only (c) implies (a). The supremum norm is $$|Lambda|=sup_{x not=0} frac{|Lambda x|}{|x|}.$$



However, I am not sure how $|Lambda x|<epsilon$ and $|x|<delta$ (which implies $frac 1{|x|} > frac 1{delta}$) imply $frac{|Lambda x|}{|x|} le epsilon$, since the opposing inequalities are confusing me.

          Pick $0 < r < 1$. For $x$ with $lVert xrVert = rdelta$, you know $lVert Lambda xrVert < epsilon$. Hence



          $$frac{lVertLambda xrVert}{lVert xrVert} < frac{varepsilon}{rdelta}$$



          for these $x$. For an arbitrary $y neq 0$, write



          $$y = frac{lVert yrVert}{rdelta}cdot underbrace{frac{rdelta}{lVert yrVert}y}_x,$$



          where $lVert xrVert = rdelta$. Then by the homogeneity of the norm and $Lambda$, you have



          $$frac{lVert Lambda yrVert}{lVert yrVert} = frac{lVert Lambda xrVert}{lVert xrVert} < frac{epsilon}{rdelta}.$$



          Let $r to 1$ to obtain the inequality



          $$lVertLambdarVert leqslant frac{epsilon}{delta}.$$
