AnLM-spaceis aninductive limitof a sequence oflocally convexmetrizable TVS. Apseudometricon a setX{\displaystyle X}is a mapd:X×X→R{\d...

Inpsychology,number senseis the term used for the hypothesis that some animals, particularly humans, have a biologically determined ability that allows them to represent and manipulate large numerical quantities. The term was popularized byStanislas Dehaenein his 1997 book "The Number Sense," but originally named by t...

Inmathematics, thecardinalityof asetis the number of its elements. The cardinality of a set may also be called itssize, when no confusion with other notions of size is possible.[a]Beginning in the late 19th century, this concept of size was generalized toinfinite sets, allowing one to distinguish between different type...

Infunctional analysis, thedual normis a measure of size for acontinuouslinear functiondefined on anormed vector space. LetX{\displaystyle X}be anormed vector spacewith norm‖⋅‖{\displaystyle \|\cdot \|}and letX∗{\displaystyle X^{*}}denote itscontinuous dual space. Thedual normof a continuouslinear functionalf{\displays...

In mathematics, thelogarithmic normis a real-valuedfunctionalonoperators, and is derived from either aninner product, a vector norm, or its inducedoperator norm. The logarithmic norm was independently introduced byGermund Dahlquist[1]and Sergei Lozinskiĭ in 1958, for squarematrices. It has since been extended to nonlin...

Infunctional analysis, a branch of mathematics, two methods of constructingnormed spacesfromdiskswere systematically employed byAlexander Grothendieckto definenuclear operatorsandnuclear spaces.[1]One method is used if the diskD{\displaystyle D}is bounded: in this case, theauxiliary normed spaceisspan⁡D{\displaystyle \...

Cauchy's functional equationis thefunctional equation:f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y).{\displaystyle f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y).\ } A functionf{\displaystyle f}that solves this equation is called anadditive function. Over therational numbers, it can be shown usingelementary algebrathat there is a single family of solutions, namelyf:x↦cx{\dis...
