A significant problem in classical Fourier series asks in what sense the Fourier series converges, if at all, to the function f. Hilbert space methods provide one possible answer to this question. [46] The functions e n (θ) = e 2πinθ form an orthogonal basis of the Hilbert space L 2 ([0, 1]).
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 first three functions in the sequence () = on [,].As converges weakly to =.. The Hilbert space [,] is the space of the square-integrable functions on the interval [,] equipped with the inner product defined by
As such, quantum states form a ray in projective Hilbert space, not a vector. Many textbooks fail to make this distinction, which could be partly a result of the fact that the Schrödinger equation itself involves Hilbert-space "vectors", with the result that the imprecise use of "state vector" rather than ray is very difficult to avoid. [5]
The single point denoted in this space is represented by the set of functions () where and represents an index set. In quantum field theory , it is expected that the Hilbert space is also the L 2 {\displaystyle L^{2}} space on the configuration space of the field, which is infinite dimensional, with respect to some Borel measure naturally defined.
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 ^{*}.}
The simplest example of a direct integral are the L 2 spaces associated to a (σ-finite) countably additive measure μ on a measurable space X. Somewhat more generally one can consider a separable Hilbert space H and the space of square-integrable H-valued functions (,).
In mathematics, a function space is a set of functions between two fixed sets. Often, the domain and/or codomain will have additional structure which is inherited by the function space. For example, the set of functions from any set X into a vector space has a natural vector space structure given by pointwise addition and scalar multiplication.
