Homework Statement


Consider the Banach Space [tex]l^{1}[/tex]. Let S={[tex]x \in l^{1}|\left\|x\right\|<1[/tex]}. Is S a compact subset of [tex]l^{1}[/tex]? prove or Disprove.

S isn't even closed. A more interesting problem is whether the closure of S is compact, and I suspect this is what you're supposed to work on.
