  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. Uniform boundedness principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_boundedness_principle

    In mathematics, the uniform boundedness principle or Banach–Steinhaus theorem is one of the fundamental results in functional analysis. Together with the HahnBanach theorem and the open mapping theorem , it is considered one of the cornerstones of the field.

  4. Amenable group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amenable_group

    By the HahnBanach theorem the latter admits a norm-one linear extension on ℓ ∞ (Z), which is by construction a shift-invariant finitely additive probability measure on Z. If every conjugacy class in a locally compact group has compact closure, then the group is amenable.

  5. Vector-valued Hahn–Banach theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector-valued_HahnBanach...

    In mathematics, specifically in functional analysis and Hilbert space theory, vector-valued HahnBanach theorems are generalizations of the HahnBanach theorems from linear functionals (which are always valued in the real numbers or the complex numbers) to linear operators valued in topological vector spaces (TVSs).

  6. Functional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_analysis

    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 fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach_fixed-point_theorem

    In mathematics, the Banach fixed-point theorem (also known as the contraction mapping theorem or contractive mapping theorem or Banach–Caccioppoli theorem) is an important tool in the theory of metric spaces; it guarantees the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of certain self-maps of metric spaces and provides a constructive method to find those fixed points.

  8. Banach space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach_space

    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.
