Functional analysis is the study of infinite-dimensional vector spaces, often with additional structures (inner product, norm, topology), with typical examples given by function spaces. The subject also includes the study of linear and non-linear operators on these spaces, as well as measure, ...

norm of product of normed spaces

If $(X_1,||.||_1)$ and $(X_2,||.||_2)$ are two normed spaces and define norm on $X_1\times X_2$ as $||x||=\max(||x_1||_1,||x_2||_2)$. I want to check the triangle inequality property for this norm, ...

Inner product convention for $\ell^p$?

So I'm reading through some analysis problems and one is discussing $\ell^p$ (the space of $p$-summable sequences $x: \mathbb Z^+ \to \mathbb C$ such that $\sum_{n \in \mathbb Z^+}|x_n|^p < ...

Show existence of continuous functions $f$ with $f''=\delta_0-\delta_1$

Let $u$ be the distribution on $\mathbb{R}$ given by $$u=\delta_0-\delta_1 $$ (a) show there exists a continuous function $f$ such that $f''=u$ and indicate such one. I thought of doing this with ...

Hahn-Banach theorem (second geometric form) exercise

Let $X$ be a vector normed space and $\{F,F_1,\ldots,F_N\}$ linear functionals over $X$ such that $$\bigcap_{i=1}^N\mbox{ker}(F_i)\ \subseteq \mbox{ker}(F).$$ Apply the Hahn-Banach theorem (second ...

PDEs: subsequence converges to solution, so whole sequence does too

Suppose we want existence of a function $u$ for the PDE $$(\frac{d}{dt}u,v) = b(u,v)$$ for all $v$ in a test space. Sometimes in PDE you have use a Galerkin approximation, so say $u_n$ is a sequence ...

An other question about Theorem 3.1 from Morse theory by Milnor

In the proof of theorem 3.1 they put : $\langle X,\nabla f \rangle =X(f)$ after that they say that: for a curve $c$ on $M$ then $\left\langle\dfrac{\mathrm{d}c}{\mathrm{d}t},\nabla ...

Properties of the derivative $\frac{\delta F(\phi(x))}{\delta\phi(y)}$ , where $ \phi(x) = F(\phi(x)) $ is a fixed point problem.

Dear experts I have a fixed point problem of the type: $ \phi(x) = F(\phi(x)) $, where $x \in \mathbb R^3 $. $\phi(x)$ is differentiable non-negative function on a given domain. I am trying to find ...

Need help in showing that $F(x)/x^{1/q}$ goes to $0$ as $x$ goes to $0$ and $\infty$.

$1<p<\infty$, $f\in L^{p}(0,\infty)$, $p^{-1}+q^{-1}=1$, define $$F(x)=\int_{0}^{x}f(t)dt,$$ then I need to show that $\frac{F(x)}{x^{\frac{1}{q}}}\rightarrow 0$ as $x\rightarrow 0$ and ...
