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: H is a Hilbert space.; (xn) is a sequence in H.; (xn) converges strongly to l (i.e., ∥xn−l∥→0).; v is an arbitrary element of H.

The Riesz representation theorem allows identifying elements of the dual space with elements of the Hilbert space H itself via the inner product. This adapts the general definition of weak convergence (which uses dual space functions) to the inner product form used specifically in Hilbert spaces.
Conditions: H is a Hilbert space.; The general definition of weak convergence involves continuous linear functionals from the dual space.

No, weak convergence alone does not imply strong convergence. A sequence can converge weakly to a limit without the norm of the difference converging to zero.

The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is used to bound the absolute difference of the inner products ∣⟨xn,v⟩−⟨l,v⟩∣ by the product of the norm of the difference ∥xn−l∥ and the norm of the test vector ∥v∥. This step converts the problem of showing inner product convergence into showing that a product involving the norm goes to zero.
