Schwartz spaceIn mathematics, Schwartz space is the function space of all functions whose derivatives are rapidly decreasing. This space has the important property that the Fourier transform is an automorphism on this space. This property enables one, by duality, to define the Fourier transform for elements in the dual space of , that is, for tempered distributions. A function in the Schwartz space is sometimes called a Schwartz function. Schwartz space is named after French mathematician Laurent Schwartz.
Complemented subspaceIn the branch of mathematics called functional analysis, a complemented subspace of a topological vector space is a vector subspace for which there exists some other vector subspace of called its (topological) complement in , such that is the direct sum in the category of topological vector spaces. Formally, topological direct sums strengthen the algebraic direct sum by requiring certain maps be continuous; the result retains many nice properties from the operation of direct sum in finite-dimensional vector spaces.
Auxiliary normed spaceIn functional analysis, two methods of constructing normed spaces from disks were systematically employed by Alexander Grothendieck to define nuclear operators and nuclear spaces. One method is used if the disk is bounded: in this case, the auxiliary normed space is with norm The other method is used if the disk is absorbing: in this case, the auxiliary normed space is the quotient space If the disk is both bounded and absorbing then the two auxiliary normed spaces are canonically isomorphic (as topological vector spaces and as normed spaces).
Bornivorous setIn functional analysis, a subset of a real or complex vector space that has an associated vector bornology is called bornivorous and a bornivore if it absorbs every element of If is a topological vector space (TVS) then a subset of is bornivorous if it is bornivorous with respect to the von-Neumann bornology of . Bornivorous sets play an important role in the definitions of many classes of topological vector spaces, particularly bornological spaces.
Bipolar theoremIn mathematics, the bipolar theorem is a theorem in functional analysis that characterizes the bipolar (that is, the polar of the polar) of a set. In convex analysis, the bipolar theorem refers to a necessary and sufficient conditions for a cone to be equal to its bipolar. The bipolar theorem can be seen as a special case of the Fenchel–Moreau theorem.
Mackey spaceIn mathematics, particularly in functional analysis, a Mackey space is a locally convex topological vector space X such that the topology of X coincides with the Mackey topology τ(X,X′), the finest topology which still preserves the continuous dual. They are named after George Mackey. Examples of locally convex spaces that are Mackey spaces include: All barrelled spaces and more generally all infrabarreled spaces Hence in particular all bornological spaces and reflexive spaces All metrizable spaces.
Absolutely convex setIn mathematics, a subset C of a real or complex vector space is said to be absolutely convex or disked if it is convex and balanced (some people use the term "circled" instead of "balanced"), in which case it is called a disk. The disked hull or the absolute convex hull of a set is the intersection of all disks containing that set. A subset of a real or complex vector space is called a and is said to be , , and if any of the following equivalent conditions is satisfied: is a convex and balanced set.
Convex analysisConvex analysis is the branch of mathematics devoted to the study of properties of convex functions and convex sets, often with applications in convex minimization, a subdomain of optimization theory. Convex set A subset of some vector space is if it satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions: If is real and then If is real and with then Convex function Throughout, will be a map valued in the extended real numbers with a domain that is a convex subset of some vector space.
Convex coneIn linear algebra, a cone—sometimes called a linear cone for distinguishing it from other sorts of cones—is a subset of a vector space that is closed under positive scalar multiplication; that is, C is a cone if implies for every positive scalar s. When the scalars are real numbers, or belong to an ordered field, one generally calls a cone a subset of a vector space that is closed under multiplication by a positive scalar.
Uniform boundedness principleIn mathematics, the uniform boundedness principle or Banach–Steinhaus theorem is one of the fundamental results in functional analysis. Together with the Hahn–Banach 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.
