Let X be a quasi-Banach space whose dual X* separates the points of X. Then X* is a Banach space under the norm
From X we can construct the Banach envelope Xc of X by defining for x ∊ X, the norm
Then Xc is the completion of (X, ‖ ‖c). Alternatively ‖ ‖c is the Minkowski functional of the convex hull of the unit ball. Xc has the property that any bounded linear operator L:X → Z into a Banach space extends with preservation of norm to an operator .
