 | | If the convergence of a sequence to zero is meant to be "uniform convergence of all derivatives, and all supports of these functions can be included in the same compact set", then this vector space is not even metrizable, much less normable, and much less normable with a complete norm (to become a Banach space). |
 | | If you drop that restriction, the space becomes metrizable but not complete (if it were complete, it would be called Frechet space, rather than Banach space. |
 | | And a Frechet space can fail to be locally convex, and can have only a trivial dual, making many problems much harder (such as optimization).) My imagination does not go far enough to give me an idea what the completion would be. |
