Let us show the equivalence of (2) and (3). Let us show the equivalence of (2) and (3).
First, the proof that (3) implies (2) is a direct calculation. First, the proof that (3) implies (2) is a direct calculation.
Next, let us show that (2) implies (3): Next, let us show that (2) implies (3):
Suppose $Tu_i \to 0$ in $\sC$, and if $K$ is a compact set in $U$, and Suppose $Tu_i \to 0$ in $\sC$, and if $K$ is a compact set in $U$, and
$\{u_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ is a sequence in $\cD_K$ such that $\{u_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ is a sequence in $\cD_K$ such that
for any multi-index $\alpha$, we have for any multi-index $\alpha$, we have
$$ D^\alpha u_i \to 0$$ $$ D^\alpha u_i \to 0$$
in the supremum norm $\lVert\cdot\rVert_\infty$ as $i\to \infty$. in the supremum norm $||\cdot||_\infty$ as $i\to \infty$.
For a contradiction, suppose there is a compact set $K$ in $U$ For a contradiction, suppose there is a compact set $K$ in $U$
such that for all constants $C>0$ and $k\in\{0, 1,2,\ldots\}$ there exists such that for all constants $C>0$ and $k\in\{0, 1,2,\ldots\}$ there exists
a function $u\in \cD_K$ such that a function $u\in \cD_K$ such that
$$|T(u)|> C\sum_{|\alpha|\le k} ||D^\alpha u||_\infty.$$ $$|T(u)|> C\sum_{|\alpha|\le k} ||D^\alpha u||_\infty.$$
Then, for $C=k=1,2,\ldots$ we obtain functions $u_1,u_2,\ldots$ in $\cD(K)$ Then, for $C=k=1,2,\ldots$ we obtain functions $u_1,u_2,\ldots$ in $\cD(K)$
such that such that
$ |T(u_i)| > i\sum_{|\alpha|\le i} ||D^\alpha u_i||_\infty.$ $ |T(u_i)| > i\sum_{|\alpha|\le i} ||D^\alpha u_i||_\infty.$
Thus $|T(u_i)|>0$ for all $i$, so for $v_i=u_i/|T(u_i)|$, we have Thus $|T(u_i)|>0$ for all $i$, so for $v_i=u_i/|T(u_i)|$, we have
$$ 1> i\sum_{|\alpha|\le i} ||D^\alpha v_i||_\infty.$$ $$ 1> i\sum_{|\alpha|\le i} ||D^\alpha v_i||_\infty.$$
It follows that $||D^\alpha u_i||_\infty< 1/i$ It follows that $||D^\alpha u_i||_\infty< 1/i$
for any multi-index $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|\le i$. for any multi-index $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|\le i$.
Thus $\{v_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ satisfies our assumption, whence $T(v_i)$ should tend to $0$. Thus $\{v_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ satisfies our assumption, whence $T(v_i)$ should tend to $0$.
However, for all $i$, we have $T(v_i)= 1$. This contradiction However, for all $i$, we have $T(v_i)= 1$. This contradiction
completes the proof. completes the proof.
