Uniformly Smooth Space
In mathematics, a uniformly smooth space is a normed vector space X satisfying the property that for every \epsilon>0 there exists \delta>0 such that if x,y\in X with \, x\, =1 and \, y\, \leq\delta then :\, x+y\, +\, x-y\, \le 2 + \epsilon\, y\, . The modulus of smoothness of a normed space ''X'' is the function ρ''X'' defined for every by the formula : \rho_X(t) = \sup \Bigl\. The triangle inequality yields that . The normed space ''X'' is uniformly smooth if and only if tends to 0 as ''t'' tends to 0. Properties * Every uniformly smooth Banach space is reflexive. * A Banach space X is uniformly smooth if and only if its continuous dual X^* is uniformly convex (and vice versa, via reflexivity). The moduli of convexity and smoothness are linked by ::\rho_(t) = \sup \, \quad t \ge 0, :and the maximal convex function majorated by the modulus of convexity δ''X'' is given by ::\tilde \delta_X(\varepsilon) = \sup \. :Furthermore, ::\delta_X(\varepsilon / 2) \l ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Uniformly Convex Space
In mathematics, uniformly convex spaces (or uniformly rotund spaces) are common examples of reflexive Banach spaces. The concept of uniform convexity was first introduced by James A. Clarkson in 1936. Definition A uniformly convex space is a normed vector space such that, for every 00 such that for any two vectors with \, x\, = 1 and \, y\, = 1, the condition :\, x-y\, \geq\varepsilon implies that: :\left\, \frac\right\, \leq 1-\delta. Intuitively, the center of a line segment inside the unit ball must lie deep inside the unit ball unless the segment is short. Properties * The unit sphere can be replaced with the closed unit ball in the definition. Namely, a normed vector space X is uniformly convex if and only if for every 00 so that, for any two vectors x and y in the closed unit ball (i.e. \, x\, \le 1 and \, y\, \le 1 ) with \, x-y\, \ge \varepsilon , one has \left\, \right\, \le 1-\delta (note that, given \varepsilon , the corresponding value of ...

Modulus And Characteristic Of Convexity
In mathematics, the modulus of convexity and the characteristic of convexity are measures of "how convex" the unit ball in a Banach space is. In some sense, the modulus of convexity has the same relationship to the ''ε''-''δ'' definition of uniform convexity as the modulus of continuity does to the ''ε''-''δ'' definition of continuity. Definitions The modulus of convexity of a Banach space (''X'', , , ·, , ) is the function defined by :\delta (\varepsilon) = \inf \left\, where ''S'' denotes the unit sphere of (''X'', , , , , ). In the definition of ''δ''(''ε''), one can as well take the infimum over all vectors ''x'', ''y'' in ''X'' such that and . The characteristic of convexity of the space (''X'', , , , , ) is the number ''ε''0 defined by :\varepsilon_ = \sup \. These notions are implicit in the general study of uniform convexity by J. A. Clarkson (; this is the same paper containing the statements of Clarks ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Robert C
The name Robert is an ancient Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic "fame" and "bright" (''Hrōþiberhtaz''). Compare Old Dutch ''Robrecht'' and Old High German ''Hrodebert'' (a compound of '' Hruod'' ( non, Hróðr) "fame, glory, honour, praise, renown" and ''berht'' "bright, light, shining"). It is the second most frequently used given name of ancient Germanic origin. It is also in use as a surname. Another commonly used form of the name is Rupert. After becoming widely used in Continental Europe it entered England in its Old French form ''Robert'', where an Old English cognate form (''Hrēodbēorht'', ''Hrodberht'', ''Hrēodbēorð'', ''Hrœdbœrð'', ''Hrœdberð'', ''Hrōðberχtŕ'') had existed before the Norman Conquest. The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto. Robert is also a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Scots, Danish, and Icelandic. It can be use ...

Reflexive Space
In the area of mathematics known as functional analysis, a reflexive space is a locally convex topological vector space (TVS) for which the canonical evaluation map from X into its bidual (which is the strong dual of the strong dual of X) is an isomorphism of TVSs. Since a normable TVS is reflexive if and only if it is semi-reflexive, every normed space (and so in particular, every Banach space) X is reflexive if and only if the canonical evaluation map from X into its bidual is surjective; in this case the normed space is necessarily also a Banach space. In 1951, R. C. James discovered a Banach space, now known as James' space, that is reflexive but is nevertheless isometrically isomorphic to its bidual (any such isomorphism is thus necessarily the canonical evaluation map). Reflexive spaces play an important role in the general theory of locally convex TVSs and in the theory of Banach spaces in particular. Hilbert spaces are prominent examples of reflexive Banach spaces. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Per Enflo
Per H. Enflo (; born 20 May 1944) is a Swedish mathematician working primarily in functional analysis, a field in which he solved problems that had been considered fundamental. Three of these problems had been open for more than forty years: * The basis problem and the approximation problem and later * the invariant subspace problem for Banach spaces. In solving these problems, Enflo developed new techniques which were then used by other researchers in functional analysis and operator theory for years. Some of Enflo's research has been important also in other mathematical fields, such as number theory, and in computer science, especially computer algebra and approximation algorithms. Enflo works at Kent State University, where he holds the title of University Professor. Enflo has earlier held positions at the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science at the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, École Polytechnique, (Paris) and The Royal Institute of Techn ...

Normed Vector Space
In mathematics, a normed vector space or normed space is a vector space over the real or complex numbers, on which a norm is defined. A norm is the formalization and the generalization to real vector spaces of the intuitive notion of "length" in the real (physical) world. A norm is a real-valued function defined on the vector space that is commonly denoted x\mapsto \, x\, , and has the following properties: #It is nonnegative, meaning that \, x\, \geq 0 for every vector x. #It is positive on nonzero vectors, that is, \, x\, = 0 \text x = 0. # For every vector x, and every scalar \alpha, \, \alpha x\, = , \alpha, \, \, x\, . # The triangle inequality holds; that is, for every vectors x and y, \, x+y\, \leq \, x\, + \, y\, . A norm induces a distance, called its , by the formula d(x,y) = \, y-x\, . which makes any normed vector space into a metric space and a topological vector space. If this metric space is complete then the normed space is a Banach space. Every normed vec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lp Space
In mathematics, the spaces are function spaces defined using a natural generalization of the Norm (mathematics)#p-norm, -norm for finite-dimensional vector spaces. They are sometimes called Lebesgue spaces, named after Henri Lebesgue , although according to the Nicolas Bourbaki, Bourbaki group they were first introduced by Frigyes Riesz . spaces form an important class of Banach spaces in functional analysis, and of topological vector spaces. Because of their key role in the mathematical analysis of measure and probability spaces, Lebesgue spaces are used also in the theoretical discussion of problems in physics, statistics, economics, finance, engineering, and other disciplines. Applications Statistics In statistics, measures of central tendency and statistical dispersion, such as the mean, median, and standard deviation, are defined in terms of metrics, and measures of central tendency can be characterized as Central tendency#Solutions to variational problems, solutions to ...

Unit Sphere
In mathematics, a unit sphere is simply a sphere of radius one around a given center. More generally, it is the set of points of distance 1 from a fixed central point, where different norms can be used as general notions of "distance". A unit ball is the closed set of points of distance less than or equal to 1 from a fixed central point. Usually the center is at the origin of the space, so one speaks of "the unit ball" or "the unit sphere". Special cases are the unit circle and the unit disk. The importance of the unit sphere is that any sphere can be transformed to a unit sphere by a combination of translation and scaling. In this way the properties of spheres in general can be reduced to the study of the unit sphere. Unit spheres and balls in Euclidean space In Euclidean space of ''n'' dimensions, the -dimensional unit sphere is the set of all points (x_1, \ldots, x_n) which satisfy the equation : x_1^2 + x_2^2 + \cdots + x_n ^2 = 1.
