  2. Hahn–Banach theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HahnBanach_theorem

    The theorem is named for the mathematicians Hans Hahn and Stefan Banach, who proved it independently in the late 1920s.The special case of the theorem for the space [,] of continuous functions on an interval was proved earlier (in 1912) by Eduard Helly, [1] and a more general extension theorem, the M. Riesz extension theorem, from which the HahnBanach theorem can be derived, was proved in ...

  3. Zorn's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorn's_lemma

    Zorn's lemma is also equivalent to the strong completeness theorem of first-order logic. [23] Moreover, Zorn's lemma (or one of its equivalent forms) implies some major results in other mathematical areas. For example, Banach's extension theorem which is used to prove one of the most fundamental results in functional analysis, the HahnBanach ...

  4. Boolean prime ideal theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_prime_ideal_theorem

    Zorn's lemma, the axiom of choice, and Tychonoff's theorem can all be used to prove the ultrafilter lemma. The ultrafilter lemma is strictly weaker than the axiom of choice. The ultrafilter lemma has many applications in topology. The ultrafilter lemma can be used to prove the Hahn-Banach theorem and the Alexander subbase theorem.

  5. Axiom of choice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_choice

    The most important among them are Zorn's lemma and the well-ordering theorem. In fact, Zermelo initially introduced the axiom of choice in order to formalize his proof of the well-ordering theorem. Set theory. Tarski's theorem about choice: For every infinite set A, there is a bijective map between the sets A and A×A.

  6. Uniform boundedness principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_boundedness_principle

    Together with the HahnBanach theorem and the open mapping theorem, it is considered one of the cornerstones of the field. In its basic form, it asserts that for a family of continuous linear operators (and thus bounded operators) whose domain is a Banach space, pointwise boundedness is equivalent to uniform boundedness in operator norm.

  7. Banach limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach_limit

    The existence of Banach limits is usually proved using the HahnBanach theorem (analyst's approach), [1] or using ultrafilters (this approach is more frequent in set-theoretical expositions). [2] These proofs necessarily use the axiom of choice (so called non-effective proof).

  9. Robert Phelps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Phelps

    In its preface, Phelps advised readers of the prerequisite "background in functional analysis": "the main rule is the separation theorem (a.k.a. [also known as] the HahnBanach theorem): Like the standard advice given in mountaineering classes (concerning the all-important bowline for tying oneself into the end of the climbing rope), you ...
