Hello,
let {a_n} be a sequence of real numbers which is not
in l_2. Is there sum element {x_n} of l_2 such that
sum_{n=0 to inf} (a_n)*(x_n} diverges?

Yes. Hint for an elementary explicit construction:

Partition the positive integers into finite sets
I_1, I_2, ... such that the sum of (a_n)^2 for n in I_j
is greater than 1. Let c_j = ___________ and then
define x_n = c_j * a_n for n in I_j.

(Hint: if you happened to get the sum of (a_n)^2 for n in
I_j exactly equal to 1 then c_j = 1/j would work.)

Thank you very much for your attention.
My Best Regards,
Maury
