Disk (functional Analysis)
In mathematics, a subset ''C'' of a Real number, real or Complex number, complex vector space is said to be absolutely convex or disked if it is Convex set, convex and Balanced set, 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 (set theory), intersection of all disks containing that set. Definition A subset S of a real or complex vector space X is called a ' and is said to be ', ', and ' if any of the following equivalent conditions is satisfied: S is a Convex set, convex and balanced set. for any scalars a and b, if , a, + , b, \leq 1 then a S + b S \subseteq S. for all scalars a, b, and c, if , a, + , b, \leq , c, , then a S + b S \subseteq c S. for any scalars a_1, \ldots, a_n and c, if , a_1, + \cdots + , a_n, \leq , c, then a_1 S + \cdots + a_n S \subseteq c S. for any scalars a_1, \ldots, a_n, if , a_1, + \cdots + , a_n, \leq 1 the ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Sequence
In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters. Like a set, it contains members (also called ''elements'', or ''terms''). The number of elements (possibly infinite) is called the ''length'' of the sequence. Unlike a set, the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in a sequence, and unlike a set, the order does matter. Formally, a sequence can be defined as a function from natural numbers (the positions of elements in the sequence) to the elements at each position. The notion of a sequence can be generalized to an indexed family, defined as a function from an ''arbitrary'' index set. For example, (M, A, R, Y) is a sequence of letters with the letter "M" first and "Y" last. This sequence differs from (A, R, M, Y). Also, the sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8), which contains the number 1 at two different positions, is a valid sequence. Sequences can be '' finite'', as in these examples, or '' ...

Convex Analysis
Convex analysis is the branch of mathematics devoted to the study of properties of convex functions and convex sets, often with applications in convex optimization, convex minimization, a subdomain of optimization (mathematics), optimization theory. Convex sets A subset C \subseteq X of some vector space X is if it satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions: #If 0 \leq r \leq 1 is real and x, y \in C then r x + (1 - r) y \in C. #If 0 < r < 1 is real and with then Throughout, will be a map valued in the Extended real number line, extended real numbers with a Domain of a function, domain that is a convex subset of some vector space.

Abstract Algebra
In mathematics, more specifically algebra, abstract algebra or modern algebra is the study of algebraic structures, which are set (mathematics), sets with specific operation (mathematics), operations acting on their elements. Algebraic structures include group (mathematics), groups, ring (mathematics), rings, field (mathematics), fields, module (mathematics), modules, vector spaces, lattice (order), lattices, and algebra over a field, algebras over a field. The term ''abstract algebra'' was coined in the early 20th century to distinguish it from older parts of algebra, and more specifically from elementary algebra, the use of variable (mathematics), variables to represent numbers in computation and reasoning. The abstract perspective on algebra has become so fundamental to advanced mathematics that it is simply called "algebra", while the term "abstract algebra" is seldom used except in mathematical education, pedagogy. Algebraic structures, with their associated homomorphisms, ... [...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 functions. Such a topology is called a and every topological vector space has a uniform topological structure, allowing a notion of uniform convergence and 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. Other well-known examples of TVSs include Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces and Sobolev spaces. Many topological vector spaces are spaces of functions, or linear operators ac ... [...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 for finite-dimensional vector spaces. They are sometimes called Lebesgue spaces, named after Henri Lebesgue , although according to the 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. Preliminaries The -norm in finite dimensions The Euclidean length of a vector x = (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n) in the n-dimensional real vector space \Reals^n is given by the Euclidean norm: \, x\, _2 = \left(^2 + ^2 + \dotsb + ^2\right)^. The Euclidean distance between two points x and y is the length \, x - y\, _2 of the straight line b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seminorm
In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis, a seminorm is like a Norm (mathematics), norm but need not be positive definite. Seminorms are intimately connected with convex sets: every seminorm is the Minkowski functional of some Absorbing set, absorbing Absolutely convex set, disk and, conversely, the Minkowski functional of any such set is a seminorm. A topological vector space is locally convex if and only if its topology is induced by a family of seminorms. Definition Let X be a vector space over either the real numbers \R or the Complex number, complex numbers \Complex. A real-valued function p : X \to \R is called a if it satisfies the following two conditions: # Subadditive function, Subadditivity/Triangle inequality: p(x + y) \leq p(x) + p(y) for all x, y \in X. # Homogeneous function, Absolute homogeneity: p(s x) =, s, p(x) for all x \in X and all scalars s. These two conditions imply that p(0) = 0If z \in X denotes the zero vector in X while 0 denote the zer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Homogeneous Function
In mathematics, a homogeneous function is a function of several variables such that the following holds: If each of the function's arguments is multiplied by the same scalar (mathematics), scalar, then the function's value is multiplied by some power of this scalar; the power is called the degree of homogeneity, or simply the ''degree''. That is, if is an integer, a function of variables is homogeneous of degree if :f(sx_1,\ldots, sx_n)=s^k f(x_1,\ldots, x_n) for every x_1, \ldots, x_n, and s\ne 0. This is also referred to a ''th-degree'' or ''th-order'' homogeneous function. For example, a homogeneous polynomial of degree defines a homogeneous function of degree . The above definition extends to functions whose domain of a function, domain and codomain are vector spaces over a Field (mathematics), field : a function f : V \to W between two -vector spaces is ''homogeneous'' of degree k if for all nonzero s \in F and v \in V. This definition is often further generalized to f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Triangle Inequality
In mathematics, the triangle inequality states that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than or equal to the length of the remaining side. This statement permits the inclusion of Degeneracy (mathematics)#Triangle, degenerate triangles, but some authors, especially those writing about elementary geometry, will exclude this possibility, thus leaving out the possibility of equality. If , , and are the lengths of the sides of a triangle then the triangle inequality states that :c \leq a + b , with equality only in the degenerate case of a triangle with zero area. In Euclidean geometry and some other geometries, the triangle inequality is a theorem about vectors and vector lengths (Norm (mathematics), norms): :\, \mathbf u + \mathbf v\, \leq \, \mathbf u\, + \, \mathbf v\, , where the length of the third side has been replaced by the length of the vector sum . When and are real numbers, they can be viewed as vectors in \R^1, and the triang ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subadditive Function
In mathematics, subadditivity is a property of a function that states, roughly, that evaluating the function for the sum of two elements of the domain always returns something less than or equal to the sum of the function's values at each element. There are numerous examples of subadditive functions in various areas of mathematics, particularly norms and square roots. Additive maps are special cases of subadditive functions. Definitions A subadditive function is a function f \colon A \to B, having a domain ''A'' and an ordered codomain ''B'' that are both closed under addition, with the following property: \forall x, y \in A, f(x+y)\leq f(x)+f(y). An example is the square root function, having the non-negative real numbers as domain and codomain: since \forall x, y \geq 0 we have: \sqrt\leq \sqrt+\sqrt. A sequence \left \_ is called subadditive if it satisfies the inequality a_\leq a_n+a_m for all ''m'' and ''n''. This is a special case of subadditive function, if a sequ ...

Isosceles Triangle
In geometry, an isosceles triangle () is a triangle that has two Edge (geometry), sides of equal length and two angles of equal measure. Sometimes it is specified as having ''exactly'' two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having ''at least'' two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a special case. Examples of isosceles triangles include the isosceles right triangle, the Golden triangle (mathematics), golden triangle, and the faces of bipyramids and certain Catalan solids. The mathematical study of isosceles triangles dates back to ancient Egyptian mathematics and Babylonian mathematics. Isosceles triangles have been used as decoration from even earlier times, and appear frequently in architecture and design, for instance in the pediments and gables of buildings. The two equal sides are called the ''legs'' and the third side is called the base (geometry), ''base'' of the triangle. The other dimensions of the triangle, such ...
