In mathematics, Schur's property, named after Issai Schur, is the property of normed spaces that is satisfied precisely if weak convergence of sequences entails convergence in norm.
When we are working in a normed space X and we have a sequence that converges weakly to (see weak convergence), then a natural question arises. Does the sequence converge in perhaps a more desirable manner? That is, does the sequence converge to in norm? A canonical example of this property, and commonly used to illustrate the Schur property, is the sequence space.
