Open Mapping Theorem (functional Analysis)
In functional analysis, the open mapping theorem, also known as the Banach–Schauder theorem or the Banach theorem (named after Stefan Banach and Juliusz Schauder), is a fundamental result which states that if a bounded or continuous linear operator between Banach spaces is surjective then it is an open map. Classical (Banach space) form This proof uses the Baire category theorem, and completeness of both X and Y is essential to the theorem. The statement of the theorem is no longer true if either space is just assumed to be a normed space, but is true if X and Y are taken to be Fréchet spaces. Suppose A : X \to Y is a surjective continuous linear operator. In order to prove that A is an open map, it is sufficient to show that A maps the open unit ball in X to a neighborhood of the origin of Y. Let U = B_1^X(0), V = B_1^Y(0). Then X = \bigcup_ k U. Since A is surjective: Y = A(X) = A\left(\bigcup_ k U\right) = \bigcup_ A(kU). But Y is Banach so by Baire's category t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Functional Analysis
Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limit-related structure (e.g. Inner product space#Definition, inner product, Norm (mathematics)#Definition, norm, Topological space#Definition, topology, etc.) and the linear transformation, linear functions defined on these spaces and respecting these structures in a suitable sense. The historical roots of functional analysis lie in the study of function space, spaces of functions and the formulation of properties of transformations of functions such as the Fourier transform as transformations defining continuous function, continuous, unitary operator, unitary etc. operators between function spaces. This point of view turned out to be particularly useful for the study of differential equations, differential and integral equations. The usage of the word ''functional (mathematics), functional'' as a noun goes back to the calculus of variati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Inverse Function
In mathematics, the inverse function of a function (also called the inverse of ) is a function that undoes the operation of . The inverse of exists if and only if is bijective, and if it exists, is denoted by f^ . For a function f\colon X\to Y, its inverse f^\colon Y\to X admits an explicit description: it sends each element y\in Y to the unique element x\in X such that . As an example, consider the real-valued function of a real variable given by . One can think of as the function which multiplies its input by 5 then subtracts 7 from the result. To undo this, one adds 7 to the input, then divides the result by 5. Therefore, the inverse of is the function f^\colon \R\to\R defined by f^(y) = \frac . Definitions Let be a function whose domain is the set , and whose codomain is the set . Then is ''invertible'' if there exists a function from to such that g(f(x))=x for all x\in X and f(g(y))=y for all y\in Y. If is invertible, then there is exactly one function sat ...

Metrizable Topological Vector Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a metrizable (resp. pseudometrizable) topological vector space (TVS) is a TVS whose topology is induced by a metric (resp. pseudometric). An LM-space is an inductive limit of a sequence of locally convex metrizable TVS. Pseudometrics and metrics A pseudometric on a set X is a map d : X \times X \rarr \R satisfying the following properties: d(x, x) = 0 \text x \in X; Symmetry: d(x, y) = d(y, x) \text x, y \in X; Subadditivity: d(x, z) \leq d(x, y) + d(y, z) \text x, y, z \in X. A pseudometric is called a metric if it satisfies: Identity of indiscernibles: for all x, y \in X, if d(x, y) = 0 then x = y. Ultrapseudometric A pseudometric d on X is called a ultrapseudometric or a strong pseudometric if it satisfies: Strong/Ultrametric triangle inequality: d(x, z) \leq \max \ \text x, y, z \in X. Pseudometric space A pseudometric space is a pair (X, d) consisting of a set X and a pseudometric d on X such that X's t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Complete Topological Vector Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a complete topological vector space is a topological vector space (TVS) with the property that whenever points get progressively closer to each other, then there exists some point x towards which they all get closer. The notion of "points that get progressively closer" is made rigorous by or , which are generalizations of , while "point x towards which they all get closer" means that this Cauchy net or filter converges to x. The notion of completeness for TVSs uses the theory of uniform spaces as a framework to generalize the notion of completeness for metric spaces. But unlike metric-completeness, TVS-completeness does not depend on any metric and is defined for TVSs, including those that are not metrizable or Hausdorff. Completeness is an extremely important property for a topological vector space to possess. The notions of completeness for normed spaces and metrizable TVSs, which are commonly defined in terms of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Linear Map
In mathematics, and more specifically in linear algebra, a linear map (also called a linear mapping, linear transformation, vector space homomorphism, or in some contexts linear function) is a Map (mathematics), mapping V \to W between two vector spaces that preserves the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication. The same names and the same definition are also used for the more general case of module (mathematics), modules over a ring (mathematics), ring; see Module homomorphism. If a linear map is a bijection then it is called a . In the case where V = W, a linear map is called a (linear) ''endomorphism''. Sometimes the term refers to this case, but the term "linear operator" can have different meanings for different conventions: for example, it can be used to emphasize that V and W are Real number, real vector spaces (not necessarily with V = W), or it can be used to emphasize that V is a function space, which is a common convention in functional analysis.

Isomorphism
In mathematics, an isomorphism is a structure-preserving mapping between two structures of the same type that can be reversed by an inverse mapping. Two mathematical structures are isomorphic if an isomorphism exists between them. The word isomorphism is derived from the Ancient Greek: ἴσος ''isos'' "equal", and μορφή ''morphe'' "form" or "shape". The interest in isomorphisms lies in the fact that two isomorphic objects have the same properties (excluding further information such as additional structure or names of objects). Thus isomorphic structures cannot be distinguished from the point of view of structure only, and may be identified. In mathematical jargon, one says that two objects are . An automorphism is an isomorphism from a structure to itself. An isomorphism between two structures is a canonical isomorphism (a canonical map that is an isomorphism) if there is only one isomorphism between the two structures (as it is the case for solutions of a univer ...

Closed Set
In geometry, topology, and related branches of mathematics, a closed set is a set whose complement is an open set. In a topological space, a closed set can be defined as a set which contains all its limit points. In a complete metric space, a closed set is a set which is closed under the limit operation. This should not be confused with a closed manifold. Equivalent definitions By definition, a subset A of a topological space (X, \tau) is called if its complement X \setminus A is an open subset of (X, \tau); that is, if X \setminus A \in \tau. A set is closed in X if and only if it is equal to its closure in X. Equivalently, a set is closed if and only if it contains all of its limit points. Yet another equivalent definition is that a set is closed if and only if it contains all of its boundary points. Every subset A \subseteq X is always contained in its (topological) closure in X, which is denoted by \operatorname_X A; that is, if A \subseteq X then A \subseteq \oper ...

Quotient Space (linear Algebra)
In linear algebra, the quotient of a vector space ''V'' by a subspace ''N'' is a vector space obtained by "collapsing" ''N'' to zero. The space obtained is called a quotient space and is denoted ''V''/''N'' (read "''V'' mod ''N''" or "''V'' by ''N''"). Definition Formally, the construction is as follows. Let ''V'' be a vector space over a field ''K'', and let ''N'' be a subspace of ''V''. We define an equivalence relation ~ on ''V'' by stating that ''x'' ~ ''y'' if . That is, ''x'' is related to ''y'' if one can be obtained from the other by adding an element of ''N''. From this definition, one can deduce that any element of ''N'' is related to the zero vector; more precisely, all the vectors in ''N'' get mapped into the equivalence class of the zero vector. The equivalence class – or, in this case, the coset – of ''x'' is often denoted : 'x''= ''x'' + ''N'' since it is given by : 'x''= . The quotient space ''V''/''N'' is then defined as ''V''/~, the set of all equivale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kernel (linear Algebra)
In mathematics, the kernel of a linear map, also known as the null space or nullspace, is the linear subspace of the domain of the map which is mapped to the zero vector. That is, given a linear map between two vector spaces and , the kernel of is the vector space of all elements of such that , where denotes the zero vector in , or more symbolically: :\ker(L) = \left\ . Properties The kernel of is a linear subspace of the domain .Linear algebra, as discussed in this article, is a very well established mathematical discipline for which there are many sources. Almost all of the material in this article can be found in , , and Strang's lectures. In the linear map L : V \to W, two elements of have the same image in if and only if their difference lies in the kernel of , that is, L\left(\mathbf_1\right) = L\left(\mathbf_2\right) \quad \text \quad L\left(\mathbf_1-\mathbf_2\right) = \mathbf. From this, it follows that the image of is isomorphic to the quotient of by the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Meager Set
In the mathematical field of general topology, a meagre set (also called a meager set or a set of first category) is a subset of a topological space that is small or negligible in a precise sense detailed below. A set that is not meagre is called nonmeagre, or of the second category. See below for definitions of other related terms. The meagre subsets of a fixed space form a σ-ideal of subsets; that is, any subset of a meagre set is meagre, and the union of countably many meagre sets is meagre. Meagre sets play an important role in the formulation of the notion of Baire space and of the Baire category theorem, which is used in the proof of several fundamental results of functional analysis. Definitions Throughout, X will be a topological space. A subset of X is called X, a of X, or of the in X if it is a countable union of nowhere dense subsets of X (where a nowhere dense set is a set whose closure has empty interior). The qualifier "in X" can be omitted if the ambient ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Topological Vector Space
In mathematics, a topological vector space (also called a linear topological space and commonly abbreviated TVS or t.v.s.) is one of the basic structures investigated in functional analysis. A topological vector space is a vector space that is also a topological space with the property that the vector space operations (vector addition and scalar multiplication) are also Continuous function, continuous functions. Such a topology is called a and every topological vector space has a Uniform space, uniform topological structure, allowing a notion of uniform convergence and Complete topological vector space, completeness. Some authors also require that the space is a Hausdorff space (although this article does not). One of the most widely studied categories of TVSs are locally convex topological vector spaces. This article focuses on TVSs that are not necessarily locally convex. Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces and Sobolev spaces are other well-known examples of TVSs. Many topological vec ...

F-space
In functional analysis, an F-space is a vector space X over the real or complex numbers together with a metric d : X \times X \to \R such that # Scalar multiplication in X is continuous with respect to d and the standard metric on \R or \Complex. # Addition in X is continuous with respect to d. # The metric is translation-invariant; that is, d(x + a, y + a) = d(x, y) for all x, y, a \in X. # The metric space (X, d) is complete. The operation x \mapsto \, x\, := d(0, x) is called an F-norm, although in general an F-norm is not required to be homogeneous. By translation-invariance, the metric is recoverable from the F-norm. Thus, a real or complex F-space is equivalently a real or complex vector space equipped with a complete F-norm. Some authors use the term rather than , but usually the term "Fréchet space" is reserved for locally convex F-spaces. Some other authors use the term "F-space" as a synonym of "Fréchet space", by which they mean a locally convex complete metri ...
