At the very least you should learn to _quote_
quoted
text properly - your post _appears_ as though it
was something _you_ wrote.

Let X be a linear space, and let A be a linearly
independent subset of X.
Suppose that |X|=|A|=c (i.e., the cardinality of
the continuum). Is it true
that there exists a norm ||.|| on X such that A
is
a dense subset of (X,||.||) ?

Yes.

First extend A to a basis A union B.

Now say Y is a normed vector space with |Y| = c,
such
that Y has a countable dense subset (y_n).
Recursively
choose z_n in Y with ||z_n - y_|| < 1/n, such
that
z_n is not in the span of z_1, ... z_{n-1}.

So {z_n} is an independent dense subset of Y.
Extend
{z_n} to a basis for Y, and write that basis as
S union T, where {z_n} subset A, |S| = c and |T|
=
|B|.

Now the union of a bijection of A onto S and a
bijection of B onto T extends to an isomorphism
of X onto Y, and now the norm on Y gives you the
norm on X that you want.

Heh-heh.

RECALL THAT A IS A SUBSET OF X, WHILE {z_n} IS A
SUBSET OF Y!

You might think about your attitude, considering that
you're asking strangers to do your homework for you.

THE LINE "where {z_n} subset A" WAS OBVIOUSLY A TYPE
FOR "where {z_n} subset S"!


This was my comment, if you couldn't read it before.

If I couldn't _read_ it before? I couldn't read it
because it wasn't there. Again, you _really_ need
to reconsider your attitude.

IMHO, I think that any stuff posted on the net
can be easily read by all interested people.
There was no homework for anybody, and your construction is
the classical one (Beauzamy, Day, Lacey, ...).
Besides the mathematics does not live from "obvious" typo's.
Now, deeply reconsideriny my attitude, I'm wondering if
your word "heh-heh" belongs to some ancient tribal culture,
since I couldn't find it into any classical English dictionary.

P.S. And, please, take a look at the Professor Anisiu's
generalisation of this question, because it is, indeed, a very deep one.

Best regards,
