Let be a real Hilbert space and let be a norm-bounded sequence: there is a real such that for every . Then there are a strictly increasing map and a point such that . Here weak convergence means for every . No separability or finite-dimensionality assumption is imposed on . This is weak sequential compactness for bounded sequences in a Hilbert space, used as the compactness step in quasi-Fejer/Opial convergence arguments.
