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 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 } .
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
Note the special case where both Hilbert spaces are identical and is an operator on that Hilbert space. When one trades the inner product for the dual pairing, one can define the adjoint, also called the transpose, of an operator :, where , are Banach spaces with corresponding norms ‖ ‖, ‖ ‖.
In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a Banach algebra, named after Stefan Banach, is an associative algebra over the real or complex numbers (or over a non-Archimedean complete normed field) that at the same time is also a Banach space, that is, a normed space that is complete in the metric induced by the norm.
The Hahn–Banach theorem is a central tool in functional analysis.It allows the extension of bounded linear functionals defined on a vector subspace of some vector space to the whole space, and it also shows that there are "enough" continuous linear functionals defined on every normed vector space to make the study of the dual space "interesting".
In mathematics — specifically, in measure theory and functional analysis — the cylindrical σ-algebra [1] or product σ-algebra [2] [3] is a type of σ-algebra which is often used when studying product measures or probability measures of random variables on Banach spaces. For a product space, the cylinder σ-algebra is the one that is ...
