Strong convergence implies weak convergence because the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality bounds the difference of inner products by the product of the norm of the difference and the norm of the test vector. If the sequence converges strongly, the norm of the difference goes to zero, forcing the inner product difference to go to zero for any fixed test vector.
Conditions: is a Hilbert space.; is a sequence in .; converges strongly to (i.e., ).; is an arbitrary element of .
