A ‘short’ proof of the Riesz representation theorem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Textbook proofs of the Riesz theorem on the representation of linear functionals on C(X) by measures tend to be self-contained, but consequently are rather long, and use ad hoc methods (see, for example (2, 4, 5)). The purpose of this note is to give a short proof by appealing to standard methods of modern analysis.
