Let $\seqi{X}$ be normed vector spaces over $K \in \RC$. For any $x \in \prod_{i \in I}X_i$, $x$ \textbf{vanishes at infinity} if for each $\eps > 0$, $\bracs{i \in I| \norm{x_i}_{X_i} \ge \eps}$ is finite. The space

\label{theorem:c0-sum-dual}
Let $\seqi{X}$ be normed vector spaces over $K \in \RC$. For each $y \in [l^1(I); X_i^*]$, let
\[
\phi_y: [c_0(I); X_i] \to K \quad x \mapsto \sum_{i \in I}\dpn{x_i, y_i}{X_i}
\]
then the mapping
\[
[l^1(I); X_i^*] \to [c_0(I); X_i]^* \quad y \mapsto \phi_y
\]
is an isometric isomorphism.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
By \hyperref[Hölder's Inequality]{proposition:lp-direct-sum-gymnastics}, for each $y \in [l^1(I); X_i^*]$, $\norm{\phi_y}_{[c_0(I); X_i]^*} \le \norm{y}_{[l^1(I); X_i]}$.
Let $\phi \in [c_0(I); X_i]^*$, then there exists $y \in [l^\infty(I); X_i^*]$ such that for each $i \in I$ and $x \in X_i$, $\dpn{x_i \cdot \one_{\bracs{i}}, \phi}{[l^p(I); X_i]} = \dpn{x_i, y_i}{X_i}$.
Let $J \subset I$ be finite and $\alpha \in (0, 1)$, then there exists $x \in [c_0(I); X_i]$ such that
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\{i \in I|x_i \ne 0\} \subset J$.
\item $\norm{x}_{[c_0(I); X_i]} \le 1$.
\item For each $j \in J$, $\dpn{x_j, y_j}{X_j} \ge \alpha\norm{y_j}_{X_j^*}$.
\end{enumerate}
Thus
\[
\alpha\sum_{j \in J}\norm{y_j}_{X_j^*} \le \sum_{j \in J}\dpn{x_j, y_j}{X_j} = \dpn{x, y}_{[c_0(I); X_i]} \le \norm{\phi}_{[c_0(I); X_i]^*}
\]
As the above holds for all $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ and $J \subset I$ finite, $y \in [l^1(I); X_i]$ with $\norm{y}_{[l^1(I); X_i^*]} \le \norm{\phi_y}_{[c_0(I); X_i]^*}$. By the \hyperref[Dominated Convergence Theorem]{theorem:dct}, $\dpn{x, \phi_y}{[c_0(I); X_i]} = \dpn{x, \phi}{[c_0(I); X_i]}$ for all $x \in [c_0(I); X_i]$. Hence the map is an isometric isomorphism.
