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.
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 ]
In functional analysis, the type and cotype of a Banach space are a classification of Banach spaces through probability theory and a measure, how far a Banach space from a Hilbert space is. The starting point is the Pythagorean identity for orthogonal vectors ( e k ) k = 1 n {\displaystyle (e_{k})_{k=1}^{n}} in Hilbert spaces
Stefan Banach was born on 30 March 1892 at St. Lazarus General Hospital in Kraków, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, into a Góral Roman Catholic family, [4] and was subsequently baptised by his father. [5] [6] Banach's parents were Stefan Greczek and Katarzyna Banach, both natives of the Podhale region.
Banach lattices are extremely common in functional analysis, and "every known example [in 1948] of a Banach space [was] also a vector lattice." [1] In particular: ℝ, together with its absolute value as a norm, is a Banach lattice.
In the mathematical theory of Banach spaces, the closed range theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed densely defined operator to have closed range. The theorem was proved by Stefan Banach in his 1932 Théorie des opérations linéaires.
There is an obvious algebraic duality between the vector space of all finitely additive measures σ on Σ and the vector space of simple functions (() = ()). It is easy to check that the linear form induced by σ is continuous in the sup-norm if σ is bounded, and the result follows since a linear form on the dense subspace of simple functions ...
The construction of a Banach space without the approximation property earned Per Enflo a live goose in 1972, which had been promised by Stanisław Mazur (left) in 1936. [1] In mathematics, specifically functional analysis, a Banach space is said to have the approximation property (AP), if every compact operator is a limit of finite-rank ...
