In mathematics, more specifically in functional analysis, a Banach space (pronounced ) is a complete normed vector space.Thus, a Banach space is a vector space with a metric that allows the computation of vector length and distance between vectors and is complete in the sense that a Cauchy sequence of vectors always converges to a well-defined limit that is within the space.
In mathematics, an inner product space (or, rarely, a Hausdorff pre-Hilbert space [1] [2]) is a real vector space or a complex vector space with an operation called an inner product. The inner product of two vectors in the space is a scalar , often denoted with angle brackets such as in a , b {\displaystyle \langle a,b\rangle } .
The normed vector space ((,), ‖ ‖) is called space or the Lebesgue space of -th power integrable functions and it is a Banach space for every (meaning that it is a complete metric space, a result that is sometimes called the Riesz–Fischer theorem).
Tsirelson space, a reflexive Banach space in which neither nor can be embedded. W.T. Gowers construction of a space X {\displaystyle X} that is isomorphic to X ⊕ X ⊕ X {\displaystyle X\oplus X\oplus X} but not X ⊕ X {\displaystyle X\oplus X} serves as a counterexample for weakening the premises of the Schroeder–Bernstein theorem [ 1 ]
An important early example was the Banach algebra of essentially bounded measurable functions on a measure space X. This set of functions is a Banach space under pointwise addition and scalar multiplication. With the operation of pointwise multiplication, it becomes a special type of Banach space, one now called a commutative von Neumann algebra.
Therefore, the space of square integrable functions is a Banach space, under the metric induced by the norm, which in turn is induced by the inner product. As we have the additional property of the inner product, this is specifically a Hilbert space , because the space is complete under the metric induced by the inner product.
In mathematics, the modulus of convexity and the characteristic of convexity are measures of "how convex" the unit ball in a Banach space is. In some sense, the modulus of convexity has the same relationship to the ε-δ definition of uniform convexity as the modulus of continuity does to the ε-δ definition of continuity.
In mathematics, a Sobolev space is a vector space of functions equipped with a norm that is a combination of L p-norms of the function together with its derivatives up to a given order. The derivatives are understood in a suitable weak sense to make the space complete , i.e. a Banach space .
