Banach Definition and 62 Threads

Dear everybody, I am having some trouble proving the implication (or the forward direction.) Here is my work: Suppose that we have an arbitrary linear functional ##l## on a Banach Space ##B## is continuous. Since ##l## is continuous linear functional on B, in other words, we want show that...

Hey Could you give me a hint how to explain this example? Need help to prove statement in red frame. Example from book (Topics In Banach Space Integration) by Ye Guoju‏، Schwabik StefanThank you

A question to Vsauce's famous video about the Banach-Tarski paradox at 10:09: Can you really construct the hyper-webster like that? If you choose the order like that, you'll never get any words containing other letters than "A". Shouldn't you choose an order like A, ... , Z, AA, ..., AZ...

Hey! :o We have the system \begin{align*}&x_1=\left (5+x_1^2+x_2^2\right )^{-1} \\ &x_2=\left (x_1+x_2\right )^{\frac{1}{4}}\end{align*} and the set $G=\{\vec{x}\in \mathbb{R}^2: \|\vec{x}-\vec{c}\|_{\infty}\leq 0.2\}$ where $\vec{c}=(0.2,1)^T$. I want to show with the Banach fixed-point...

Hey! :o Let $ T> 0 $ be fixed. We denote $ X = \{f \in C (\mathbb{R}): f (t) = f (t + T) \ \forall t \in \mathbb {R} \} $ and $ Y = \{f \in C^1 (\mathbb{R}): f (t) = f (t + T) \ \forall t \in \mathbb {R} \} $ be the spaces of the $ T $ periodic continuous and continuously differentiable...

Hi, I have the impression that the special thing about Hilbert space for Quantum Mechanics is that it is simply an infinite space, which allows for infinitively integration and derivation of its elements, f(x), g(x), their linear combination, or any other complex function, given that the main...

Does the sequence \{f_n\}=\{\cos{(2nt)}\} converge or diverge in Banach space C(-1,1) endowed with the sup-norm ||f||_{\infty} = \text{sup}_{t\in (-1,1)}|f(t)| ? At first glance my intuition is that this sequence should diverge because cosine is a period function. But how to really prove...

Homework Statement Hi everybody! I have a math problem to solve, I'd like to check if I understand well the Banach fixed-point theorem in the case of Euclidean norm and how to deal with maximum norm. Check if the following functions ƒ: ℝ2 → ℝ2 are strictly contractive in relation to the given...

Hi. Can we infer something about physics from stuff like Vitali sets or the Banach-Tarski paradox? Maybe if we assume the energy in a given space volume to be well defined and finite, that there must be fundamental particles that can't be split, or that there must be a Planck length and energy...

Hello I've got a problem : let be a normed vectorial space E, N and A an continue automorphism. I suppose E is complete. So by the banach theorem $$A^{−1}$$ is continue. So now let be f a k lipshitz application with $$k<\frac{1}{||A^{−1}||}$$. . I'd like to show that f + A is an...

Hi everyone. I was just reading Evans' book on PDE, and, at some point, it asked to prove that an holder space is a Banach space, and I tried to do that. I just want to ask you if my proof is correct (if you see dumb errors, just notice also that I study EE, so I'm not much into doing proofs...

Hi, I found the following relationship in a proof for gradient of log det x $$(I+A)^{-1}=I-A$$ When A is a "small" matrix (?? eigenvalues) I am not sure how to prove it, any ideas?

Let $\left(X,d\right)$ be a complete metric space and suppose that $f:X\to X$ satisfies $d\left(fx,fy\right)\le\beta\left(d\left(x,y\right)\right)d\left(x,y\right)$ for all x,y $\in$ X where $\beta$ is a decreasing function on ${R}^{+}$ to $[0,1)$. Then $f$ has a unique fixed point. The...

It was important in the proof of BCP that the contraction constant h be strictly less than 1. That gave us control over the rate of convergence of f^n (x0) to the fixed point since h^n goes to 0 as n goes to infinity...If we consider f is contractive mapping instead of a contraction, then we...

As far as I understand, the Hilbert space formalism can be derived using functional analysis and representation theory (not familiar with those) from the requirement that observables (their mathematical models) form a C*-algebra and the possible states of a system map the members of the algebra...

I find, in Kolmogorov-Fomin's Элементы теории функций и функционального анализа, at the end of § 5 of chapter IV, several statement on the spectral radius and the non-emptyness of the spectrum of a linear operator ina Banach space, which are left without proof. Nevertheless, in Tikhomirov's...

Edit: I originally wrote that ##\mathcal A## is a Banach algebra. The assumption that goes into the theorem is stronger. It's a C*-algebra. I am however still mainly interested in the claim that ##\mathcal A_1##, as defined below, is a Banach sub-algebra of ##\mathcal B(\mathcal A)##. Let...

Quantum Gravity: "Lie Groups" vs. "Banach Algebras & Spectral Theory" I'm interested in researching quantum gravity & non-commutative geometry. I am planning to take one math course outside of my physics classes this Fall to help, but can't decide between two: "Lie groups" or "Banach algebras &...

I'm trying to understand the spectrum and resolvent of a linear operator on a Banach space in as much generality as I possibly can. It seems that the furthest the concept can be "pulled back" is to a linear operator T: D(T) \to X, where X is a Banach space and D(T)\subseteq X. But here are a...

OK, I started reading GR for mathematicians from Wu and Sachs. And I see that from the start that they look on finite dimensional linear algebra, has there been any treatment for a general setting? MP

Homework Statement Hi all, I am struggling with getting an intuitive understanding of linear normed spaces, particularly of the infinite variety. In turn, I then am having trouble with compactness. To try and get specific I have two questions. Question 1 In a linear normed vector space, is...

Prove that if a Banach space X, has separable dual X*, then X is separable. It gives the hint that the first line of the proof should be to take a countable dense subset \{f_n\} of X* and choose x_n\in X such that for each n, we have ||x_n||=1 and |f_n(x)|\geq(1/2)||f_n||. Ok so what do I...
