Let $(lambda_n) in l_infty$, and $A:l_2 rightarrow l_2$ a linear operator defined as $$A(x_n)=(lambda_n x_n), ,, (x_n) in l_2$$ How to show that $A$ is compact if and only if ($lambda_n)in c_0$?

          One way: if $lambda_n to 0$, we can approximate $A$ in norm by finite-rank operators (replacing $lambda_n$ for $n > N$ by $0$).



          Other way: if $lambda_n$ does not go to $0$, find a sequence (a subsequence of the standard unit vectors) whose image under $A$ has no convergent subsequence.
