A Banach algebra with an unbounded A Banach algebra with an unbounded approximate identity.

******************************

Consider lp as a Banach algebra with coordinatewise operations. Let en = (

(1,1,1,¼,1)


n ,0,0,¼). Then supn||en|| = sup{Ö[p]n ; n Î N} = ¥, and for every x = (an) Î l2, limn||xen-x|| = limn(åk = n+1¥ |ak|p)[ 1/ p] = 0. Thus (en) is required approximate identity.
