Schur's condition for a matrix to be a bounded operator on $l^2$ (Theorem)
Theorem 0.1   Let $B$ be a matrix defined on $T\times T$ for some countable set $T$ . If there exists a positive number $C$ such that $$ \sum_{t\in T}|b(s,t)|<C \ \text{for all\ }s\ \ \ \text{and} \ \ \ \sum_{s\in T}|b(s,t)|<C \ \text{for all\ } t, $$ then $B$ is a bounded operator on $l^2(T)$ with its operator norm $\norm{B}$ less than or equal to $C$ .
Proof. Let $x$ be a sequence in $l^2(T)$ . We have
2#2 3#3    
  4#4    
  5#5    
  6#6    
  7#7    
  8#8    

Therefore we have $\normt{Bx}\leq C\normt{x}$ for all $x \in l^2(T)$ , hence $\norm{B}\leq C$ . 1#1
