Hilbert spaces arise naturally and frequently in mathematics and physics, typically as function spaces. Formally, a Hilbert space is a vector space equipped with an inner product that induces a distance function for which the space is a complete metric space. A Hilbert space is a special case of a Banach space.
For instance, given an isolated quantum mechanical system, with Hilbert space of states H, time evolution is a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group on . The infinitesimal generator of this group is the system Hamiltonian .
where H(D) is the space of holomorphic functions in D. Then L 2, h ( D ) is a Hilbert space: it is a closed linear subspace of L 2 ( D ), and therefore complete in its own right. This follows from the fundamental estimate, that for a holomorphic square-integrable function ƒ in D
The vector space V is a 13-dimensional vector space over k consisting of all vectors (b 1,...,b 16) in k 16 orthogonal to each of the three vectors (a 1i, ...,a 16i) for i=1, 2, 3. The vector space V is a 13-dimensional commutative unipotent algebraic group under addition, and its elements act on R by fixing all elements t j and taking x j to x ...
Weak convergence of random variables of a probability distribution; Weak convergence of measures, of a sequence of probability measures; Weak convergence (Hilbert space) of a sequence in a Hilbert space more generally, convergence in weak topology in a Banach space or a topological vector space
Differentiation can also be defined to functions of several variables (for example, or even , where is an infinite-dimensional vector space). If X {\displaystyle X} is a Hilbert space then any derivative (and any other limit) can be computed componentwise: if f = ( f 1 , f 2 , f 3 , …
Kolmogorov had shown in the previous year that any function of several variables can be constructed with a finite number of three-variable functions. Arnold then expanded on this work to show that only two-variable functions were in fact required, thus answering Hilbert's question when posed for the class of continuous functions.
A rigged Hilbert space is a pair (H, Φ) with H a Hilbert space, Φ a dense subspace, such that Φ is given a topological vector space structure for which the inclusion map:, is continuous. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Identifying H with its dual space H * , the adjoint to i is the map i ∗ : H = H ∗ → Φ ∗ . {\displaystyle i^{*}:H=H^{*}\to \Phi ^{*}.}
