Functional Analysis I, Part 1 Functional Analysis I Course Notes by Stefan Richter Transcribed and Annotated by Gregory Zitelli Bounded Linear Operators Let ' 2 L1(µ) and X = Y = Lp(µ). Then we can define a linear operator p p M' : L ! L by pointwise multiplication M'(f)(x) ! '(x)f(x). Furthermore, this operator is bounded, since Z Z p p p p p p kM'fkLp(µ) = j'fj dµ ≤ k'kL1(µ) jfj dµ = k'kL1(µ)kfkLp(µ) X X which imples that kM'k ≤ k'kL1(µ). In many situations, we actually have equality for operators defined in a similar way. Now let (X; M; µ) be a finite measure space. Then there is a natural inclusion Lp(µ) ⊆ Lq(µ) for p > q ≥ 1. This fact follows directly from Holder's inequality, by p 1 1 letting r = q > 1 and s + r = 1, Z Z 1=s Z 1=r q s qr 1=r jfj dµ ≤ 1 dµ jfj = µ(X) kfkLp(µ) X X X The inclusion i : Lp(µ) ! Lq(µ) is a bounded operator, with kik ≤ µ(X)1=sq. The differential properties of the Sobolev spaces are not preserved by a dif- ferential operator within an individual space itself, however we doe have that d k;p k−1;p dx : W [a; b] ! W [a; b] is a bounded linear operator, since k Z p X (j) p kfkW k;p = jf j dµ j=0 p k Z d X (j) p p f = jf j dµ ≤ kfkW k;p dx k−1;p W j=1 Functional Analysis I Part 1 1 Taking the derivative of functions in C [a; b] with the supremum norm kfkC1 = n jf(0)j+kfk1 is still a linear operator, but is certainly unbounded since kx kC1 = 1 d n 1 but dx x C1 = n. Note that C [a; b] is not a Banach space since it is not complete. Hamel Bases Recall that if X is a vector space, then a Hamel basis of X is a maximal linearly independent set. A Hamel basis B for a vector space always exists, such that for any y 2 X there exists unique elements b1; : : : bn 2 B and scalars α1; : : : ; αn 2 F Pn where y = i=1 αibi. If E ⊆ X is a linearly independent set, then there always exists a Hamel basis B for X such that E ⊆ B, by Zorn's lemma. This allows us to make a precise definition of finite and infinite-dimension vector spaces, where depending on the cardinality of the space's Hamel basis. Hamel basis can also be used to construct examples of unbounded functions on infinite dimensional Banach spaces. The typical construction follows. If B is a Hamel basis for X, and if we are given a specific scalar ab 2 F for each b 2 B, then we can define a linear transformation on X given by f : X ! F such that f(b) = ab. Pn Such a transformation can be extended linearly so that for y 2 X, y = i=1 αibi, Pn bi we have f(y) = i=1 αia . 1 Suppose that we have C[0; 1] under the supremum norm, and we let ffngn=1 ⊆ C[0; 1] be a countably infinite, linearly independent set of elements. By the pre- ceding remarks there is a Hamel basis B = ffng [ E for C[0; 1]. Then we can n define a function ' : B ! F by '(fn) = 2 kfnk and '(b) = 0 for b 2 E, which by the previous paragraph can be extended linearly to all of X. Now if we set PN 1 gN = j fj, where kgN k ≤ 1, then we have the interesting situation i=1 2 kfj k N X 1 j'(g )j = '(f ) = N N 2jkf k j j=1 j which demonstrates that ' is unbounded. Such a construction relies heavily on the axiom of choice due to the very existence of the Hamel basis. In the finite dimensional case (where the axiom of choice cannot be evoked), all linear operators are bounded. Proposition. Let X be a normed space, x0 2 X, ' : X ! F a linear functional with '(x0) 6= 0. Then X = ker ' + fαx0 : α 2 Fg and ' is bounded () ker ' is closed () ker ' is not dense in X. 2 Functional Analysis I Part 1 Proof. Let x 2 X, then '(x) '(x) x = x − x0 + x0 '(x0) '(x0) '(x) '(x) where x − x0 2 ker ' and x0 = αx0 for some appropriate α. '(x0) '(x0) Now suppose that ' is bounded. Let xn 2 ker ' with xn ! x, then '(xn) = 0 for all n which implies that '(x) = 0 and so x 2 ker '. Next, suppose that ker ' is closed. Since '(x0) 6= 0 we know that x0 2= ker ', and so ker ' is not dense in X. Lastly, suppose that ' is not bounded, and we want to show that ker ' is dense in X. It is enough to show that there exists zn 2 ker ' such that zn ! x0, since then we can use the decomposition of X into ker ' + fαx0 : α 2 Fg to prove denseness. Using the assumption that ' is unbounded, take xn with kxnk = 1 where j'(xn)j ! 1. Now write xn = yn + αnx0 with yn 2 ker ', so that j'(xn)j = jα jj'(x )j, which implies that jα j ! 1. Then the elements z = − 1 y approx- n 0 n n αn n imate x0. Finite-Dimensional Spaces Definition. Let k · k1 and k · k2 be two norms over a vector space X. We say that the norms are equivalent if there exist constants c; C > 0 such that ckxk1 ≤ kxk2 ≤ Ckxk1 for all x 2 X. Two norms are equivalent whenever their convergence sequences are equivalent, or similar when their Cauchy sequences are equivalent. This is also the same as saying that the two norms generate the same topologies on X. Theorem. If X is a finite dimensional normed space, then any two norms are equivalent. N Proof. Let k·k be some norm on X, and fejgj=1 a Hamel basis. Then for any x 2 X, there exist unique scalars 'j(x) 2 F (which can be thought of as linear functionals PN on X) such that x = j=1 'j(x)ej. Let kxk1 = max1≤j≤n j'j(x)j, which is easy to verify as a norm on X. Now we can simply use the triangle inequality on the original norm so that 3 Functional Analysis I Part 1 N N N X X X kxk = 'j(x)ej ≤ j'j(x)jkejk ≤ kxk1 kejk j=1 j=1 j=1 PN so that we can take C = j=1 kejk. Now suppose that the lower inequality is not true, so that there is a sequence of xn 2 X such that kxnk1 = 1 but kxnk ! 0. However, j'j(xn)j ≤ kxnk1 ≤ 1. Using PN a truncated diagonalization argument, there is a subsequence xnk = j=1 'j(xnk )ej PN which converges to j=1 αjej in the original norm. Since kxnk ! 0, we have that αj ! 0 for each j, and so 'j(xnk ) ! 0 which contradicts the fact that kxnk k = 1. Therefore, the lower inequality must hold, and so the original norm k·k is equivalent to k · k1. Since this can be done for any k · k, we can show the equivalence of any two norms on the space. Since all norms on a finite dimensional space are equivalent, there is a natural isomorphism between them and Cn under the Euclidean norm. Corollary. If X and Y are normed spaces, with X finite dimensional, then every linear operator T : X ! Y is bounded. Proof. Let T :(X; k · k1) ! Y , then N ! N N X X X kT xkY = T 'j(x)ej ≤ j'j(x)jkT ejk ≤ kxk1 kT ejk j=1 j=1 j=1 Riesz Representation Theorems Recall that the dual space X∗ to a vector space X is the collection of all bounded linear functionals from X into a field, typically either R or C. For Hilbert spaces, the two spaces X and X∗ are naturally isomorphic. Theorem (Riesz Representation). Let H be a Hilbert space. Then for every ' 2 H∗ there exists a unique element x0 2 H such that '(x) = hx; x0i. Similarly, every ∗ function '(x) = hx; x0i for x0 2 H defines an element of H with k'k∗ = kx0k. Consequently, there is a natural isomorphism between H and H∗. 4 Functional Analysis I Part 1 Proof. For the second part, clearly '(x) = hx; x0i is linear and continuous since j'(x)j = jhx; x0ij ≤ kxkkx0k. For the first part, ' is continuous means that ker ' = M is a closed subspace and M 6= H. Then there exists an element y0 2 H such that y0 6= 0 and y0 ?M. Then for x 2 H we can write '(x) '(x) x = x − y0 + y0 '(y0) '(y0) where the first difference is in M and the last term is orthogonal to M. Then '(x) '(x) 2 '(x) 2 hx; y0i = x − y0; y0 + ky0k = ky0k '(y0) '(y0) '(y0) '(y0) Therefore, '(x) = 2 hx; y0i. ky0k There are a variety of other kinds of representation theorems as well. If (X; M; µ) is a measure space, then the spaces Lp(µ) and Lq(µ) are isomorphically dual to one 1 1 another when 1 < p; q < 1 where p + q = 1. The proof follows by naturally pairing elements of g 2 Lq(µ) with the dual elements G 2 (Lp(µ))∗ by G(f) = R fg dµ.

  • Fourier Spectrum Characterizations of Clifford $ H^{P} $ Spaces on $\Mathbf {R}^{N+ 1} + $ for $1\Leq P\Leq\Infty$
    p n+1 Fourier Spectrum of Clifford H Spaces on R+ for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ Pei Dang, Weixiong Mai,∗ Tao Qian Abstract This article studies the Fourier spectrum characterization of func- p n+1 tions in the Clifford algebra-valued Hardy spaces H (R+ ), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Namely, for f ∈ Lp(Rn), Clifford algebra-valued, f is further the non-tangential boundary limit of some function in p n+1 ˆ ˆ H (R+ ), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, if and only if f = χ+f, where χ+(ξ) = 1 ξ 2 (1 + i |ξ| ), the Fourier transformation and the above relation are suitably interpreted (for some cases in the distribution sense). These results further develop the relevant context of Alan McIn- tosh. As a particular case of our results, the vector-valued Clifford Hardy space functions are identical with the conjugate harmonic systems in the work of Stein and Weiss. The latter proved the cor- responding singular integral version of the vector-valued cases for 1 ≤ p < ∞. We also obtain the generalized conjugate harmonic systems for the whole Clifford algebra-valued Hardy spaces rather than only the vector-valued cases in the Stein-Weiss setting.

A normed space is a pair (X, k · k), where X is a linear space over K and k · k : X → [0, ∞) is a function, called a norm, such that (1) kx + yk ≤ kxk + kyk for all x, y ∈ X; (2) kαxk = |α|kxk for all x ∈ X and α ∈ K; (3) kxk = 0 if and only if x = 0.

In what follows normed paces will always be regarded as metric spaces with respect to the metric d. A normed space is called a Banach space if it is complete with respect to the metric d. Definition.

  • On the Origin and Early History of Functional Analysis
    U.U.D.M. Project Report 2008:1 On the origin and early history of functional analysis Jens Lindström Examensarbete i matematik, 30 hp Handledare och examinator: Sten Kaijser Januari 2008 Department of Mathematics Uppsala University Abstract In this report we will study the origins and history of functional analysis up until 1918. We begin by studying ordinary and partial differential equations in the 18th and 19th century to see why there was a need to develop the concepts of functions and limits. We will see how a general theory of infinite systems of equations and determinants by Helge von Koch were used in Ivar Fredholm’s 1900 paper on the integral equation b Z ϕ(s) = f(s) + λ K(s, t)f(t)dt (1) a which resulted in a vast study of integral equations. One of the most enthusiastic followers of Fredholm and integral equation theory was David Hilbert, and we will see how he further developed the theory of integral equations and spectral theory. The concept introduced by Fredholm to study sets of transformations, or operators, made Maurice Fr´echet realize that the focus should be shifted from particular objects to sets of objects and the algebraic properties of these sets. This led him to introduce abstract spaces and we will see how he introduced the axioms that defines them. Finally, we will investigate how the Lebesgue theory of integration were used by Frigyes Riesz who was able to connect all theory of Fredholm, Fr´echet and Lebesgue to form a general theory, and a new discipline of mathematics, now known as functional analysis.

  • A Appendix: Linear Algebra and Functional Analysis
    A Appendix: Linear Algebra and Functional Analysis In this appendix, we have collected some results of functional analysis and matrix algebra. Since the computational aspects are in the foreground in this book, we give separate proofs for the linear algebraic and functional analyses, although finite-dimensional spaces are special cases of Hilbert spaces. A.1 Linear Algebra A general reference concerning the results in this section is [47]. The following theorem gives the singular value decomposition of an arbitrary real matrix. Theorem A.1. Every matrix A ∈ Rm×n allows a decomposition A = UΛV T, where U ∈ Rm×m and V ∈ Rn×n are orthogonal matrices and Λ ∈ Rm×n is diagonal with nonnegative diagonal elements λj such that λ1 ≥ λ2 ≥ ··· ≥ λmin(m,n) ≥ 0. Proof: Before going to the proof, we recall that a diagonal matrix is of the form ⎡ ⎤ λ1 0 ... 00... 0 ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ ⎢ 0 λ2 . ⎥ Λ = = [diag(λ ,...,λm), 0] , ⎢ . ⎥ 1 ⎣ . .. ⎦ 0 ... λm 0 ... 0 if m ≤ n, and 0 denotes a zero matrix of size m×(n−m). Similarly, if m>n, Λ is of the form 312 A Appendix: Linear Algebra and Functional Analysis ⎡ ⎤ λ1 0 ... 0 ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ ⎢ 0 λ2 . ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ . .. ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ diag(λ ,...,λn) Λ = ⎢ ⎥ = 1 , ⎢ λn ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ 0 ⎢ 0 ... 0 ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ ⎣ . ⎦ 0 ... 0 where 0 is a zero matrix of the size (m − n) × n. Briefly, we write Λ = diag(λ1,...,λmin(m,n)). n Let A = λ1, and we assume that λ1 =0.Let x ∈ R be a unit vector m with Ax = A ,andy =(1/λ1)Ax ∈ R , i.e., y is also a unit vector. We n m pick vectors v2,...,vn ∈ R and u2,...,um ∈ R such that {x, v2,...,vn} n is an orthonormal basis in R and {y,u2,...,um} is an orthonormal basis in Rm, respectively.

  • Anisotropic Hardy Spaces and Wavelets
    Anisotropic Hardy Spaces and Wavelets Marcin Bownik Author address: Department of Mathematics, University of Michigan, 525 East Uni- versity Ave., Ann Arbor, MI 48109 E-mail address: [email protected] 1 viii ANISOTROPIC HARDY SPACES AND WAVELETS Abstract In this paper, motivated in part by the role of discrete groups of dilations in wavelet theory, we introduce and investigate the anisotropic Hardy spaces associ- ated with very general discrete groups of dilations. This formulation includes the classical isotropic Hardy space theory of Fefferman and Stein and parabolic Hardy space theory of Calder´on and Torchinsky. Given a dilation A, that is an n n matrix all of whose eigenvalues λ satisfy λ > 1, define the radial maximal function× | | 0 −k −k Mϕf(x) := sup (f ϕk)(x) , where ϕk(x)= det A ϕ(A x). k∈Z | ∗ | | | Here ϕ is any test function in the Schwartz class with ϕ =0. For 0 <p< we p 6 ∞ introduce the corresponding anisotropic Hardy space HA as a space of tempered 0 p n R distributions f such that Mϕf belongs to L (R ). Anisotropic Hardy spaces enjoy the basic properties of the classical Hardy spaces. For example, it turns out that this definition does not depend on the choice of the test function ϕ as long as ϕ = 0. These spaces can be equivalently introduced in terms of grand, tangential, or6 nontangential maximal functions. We prove the Calder´on-Zygmund decompositionR which enables us to show the atomic p decomposition of HA. As a consequence of atomic decomposition we obtain the p description of the dual to HA in terms of Campanato spaces.

From elementary partial differential equations class, we know if Ω = R, we can solve Poisson's equation using the fundamental solution to Laplace's equation. However, if we just take Ω to be an open and connected set, the above method is no longer useful. In addition, for arbitrary Ω and f, a C2 solution does not always exist. Therefore, instead of finding a strong solution, i.e., a C2 function which satisfies (1), we integrate (1) against a test function φ (a test function is a Date: September 28, 2016. 1 2 YI WANG smooth function compactly supported in Ω), integrate by parts, and arrive at the equation Z Z 1 (2) rurφ = fφ, 8φ 2 Cc (Ω): Ω Ω So intuitively we want to find a function which satisfies (2) for all test functions and this is the place where Hilbert spaces come into play.

Pisier Abstract In recent years various advances have been made with respect to the Nevanlinna–Pick kernels, especially on the symmetric Fock space, while the development on the Hardy space over the polydisc is relatively slow. In this paper, several results known on the symmetric Fock space are proved for the Hardy space over the polydisc. The known proofs on the symmetric Fock space make essential use of the Nevanlinna–Pick properties. Specifically, we study several integer-valued numerical invariants which are defined on an arbitrary in- variant subspace of the vector-valued Hardy spaces over the polydisc. These invariants include the Samuel multiplicity, curvature, fiber dimension, and a few others. A tool used to overcome the difficulty associated with non-Nevanlinna–Pick kernels is Tauberian theory. Published by Elsevier Inc. Keywords: Hardy space, polydisc; Samuel multiplicity; Curvature; Fiber dimension; Defect operator 0. Introduction and the main results The purpose of this paper is to prove several theorems on the Hardy space H 2(Dn) over the polydisc, whose symmetric Fock space versions are known, but the proofs rely on the properties of Nevanlinna–Pick kernels. In particular, our results allow one to formulate a theory of curvature invariant on H 2(Dn) in parallel to that on the symmetric Fock space [4].

  • Hilbert Space Methods for Partial Differential Equations
    Hilbert Space Methods for Partial Differential Equations R. E. Showalter Electronic Journal of Differential Equations Monograph 01, 1994. i Preface This book is an outgrowth of a course which we have given almost pe- riodically over the last eight years. It is addressed to beginning graduate students of mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. Thus, we have attempted to present it while presupposing a minimal background: the reader is assumed to have some prior acquaintance with the concepts of “lin- ear” and “continuous” and also to believe L2 is complete. An undergraduate mathematics training through Lebesgue integration is an ideal background but we dare not assume it without turning away many of our best students. The formal prerequisite consists of a good advanced calculus course and a motivation to study partial differential equations. A problem is called well-posed if for each set of data there exists exactly one solution and this dependence of the solution on the data is continuous. To make this precise we must indicate the space from which the solution is obtained, the space from which the data may come, and the correspond- ing notion of continuity. Our goal in this book is to show that various types of problems are well-posed. These include boundary value problems for (stationary) elliptic partial differential equations and initial-boundary value problems for (time-dependent) equations of parabolic, hyperbolic, and pseudo-parabolic types. Also, we consider some nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems, variational or uni-lateral problems, and some methods of numerical approximation of solutions. We briefly describe the contents of the various chapters.
