Lp sum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, and specifically in functional analysis, the Lp sum of a family of Banach spaces is a way of turning a subset of the product set of the members of the family into a Banach space in its own right. The construction is motivated by the classical Lp spaces.[1]

Definition

[edit]

Let be a family of Banach spaces, where may have arbitrarily large cardinality. Set the product vector space.

The index set becomes a measure space when endowed with its counting measure (which we shall denote by ), and each element induces a function

Thus, we may define a function and we then set together with the norm

The result is a normed Banach space, and this is precisely the Lp sum of

Properties

[edit]
  • Whenever infinitely many of the contain a nonzero element, the topology induced by the above norm is strictly in between product and box topology.
  • Whenever infinitely many of the contain a nonzero element, the Lp sum is neither a product nor a coproduct.
