Does "shift of terms" in a Faber–Schauder series expansion of f ∈ C[0,1] produce an element of C[0,1]?

Question

Let $\{e_n : n=0, 1, \dots \}$ be a Faber–Schauder basis (See Megginson Theory of linear operations, 4.1.11 Example). Is the following function from $C[0,1] \times \mathbb{R}$ to $C[0,1]$ well-defined:

$$ (f, \beta) = (\sum \alpha_n e_n, \beta) \mapsto \beta e_0 + \sum \alpha_n e_{n+1}   $$

The problem is in the shift in $\sum \alpha_n e_{n+1}$. I don't see how we can guarantee that $\sum \alpha_n e_{n+1}$ represents some function from $C[0,1]$.

Context

I was wondering about alternative ways to set up a linear homeomorphism between $C[0,1] \times \mathbb{R}$ and $C[0,1]$. A classical way is to define the space $E$ with $C[0,1] = E \times c$. From this the required isomorphism follows. This is due to Banach (see: Theory of linear operations, Section Products of Banach spaces).

In terms of “the structure of space of scalars" I just ask whether such space is "right shift-invariant". With this wording, we can also ask a more general question:

What can we say about the structure of a sequence of scalars for a given Banach space and Shauder basis?

Trivial observation

Let $c$ be a space of converging sequences with the supremum norm. Fix the Schauder basis $\{ (0,\dots, 0,1 (n \text{-th place}),0, \dots) : n =1,2, \dots \}$. Then the corresponding space of sequences is shift invariant. That is $$ \sum \alpha_n e_n \in c \implies \sum \alpha_n e_{n+1} \in c. $$


I will be glad for thoughts, comments, and literature. Thanks!

Your references appear to be missing the actual references. Which book or paper is "Megginson"? How about "Theory of linear operations"?

Hi, thanks for pointing this out. I have clarified the reference.
