L^p Norm of a Function on $\mathbb{T}$

In summary, the L^p norm for a function in L^p(\mathbb{T}) with measure \mu is defined as \left (\int _{\mathbb{T}}|f|^p\, d\mu \right )^{\frac{1}{p}}. The question about the Fourier coefficients of f and their relation to the L^p norm is still unanswered. However, it is suspected that the expression (\sum f_i^p)^{1/p} is incorrect due to missing absolute value signs.

Suppose [tex]\mathbb{T}=[-\pi,\pi][/tex] and we have a function in [tex]L^p(\mathbb{T})[/tex] with some measure. If we know the Fourier coefficients of f, what is the [tex]L^p[/tex] norm of f? Is it [tex](\sum f_i^p)^{1/p}[/tex]? where fi are the coefs.

Is this a question about the definition of the Lp norm? For f, it would be:

[tex]\left (\int _{\mathbb{T}}|f|^p\, d\mu \right )^{\frac{1}{p}}[/tex]

where [itex]\mu[/itex] is the measure. Haven't looked at Fourier coefficients yet, so I can't answer your question, but I suspect what you put is wrong because it's missing absolute value signs.
 

What is the L^p norm of a function on $\mathbb{T}$?

The L^p norm of a function on $\mathbb{T}$ is a mathematical measure used to quantify the size of a function on the unit circle. It is defined as the pth root of the integral of the absolute value of the function to the power of p over the unit circle, where p is a positive real number.

What is the difference between the L^p norm and the L^q norm?

The L^p norm and the L^q norm are two different ways of measuring the size of a function on the unit circle. While the L^p norm uses the pth root of the integral of the absolute value of the function to the power of p, the L^q norm uses the qth root. The main difference between the two is the value of p and q, which can affect the resulting measure of the function's size.

How is the L^p norm calculated?

The L^p norm of a function on $\mathbb{T}$ can be calculated using the formula ||f||_p = (1/2π)^(1/p) * ∫_0^2π|f(e^(iθ))|^p dθ, where f is the function, p is the positive real number, and θ is the angle on the unit circle.

What is the significance of the L^p norm in mathematics?

The L^p norm is a fundamental concept in mathematics, particularly in functional analysis and measure theory. It is used to study the size and convergence of functions, and it has many applications in fields such as signal processing, statistics, and physics.

Can the L^p norm be extended to other spaces?

Yes, the L^p norm can be extended to other spaces beyond the unit circle, such as n-dimensional spaces and infinite-dimensional spaces. It is a generalization of the concept of norm in vector spaces and is used to measure the size of functions in a variety of mathematical contexts.
