Questions tagged [functional-analysis]

Functional analysis, 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 and other topics. For basic questions about functions use more suitable tags like (functions), (functional-equations) or (elementary-set-theory).

Let $\{H_i\}_{i\in I}$ be a directed system of Hilbert spaces over a poset $I$ such that $H_i\subset H_j$ whenever $i\leq j$. We consider the direct limit $H=\cup_{i\in I} H_i$ and equip it with the ...

Let $V$ be a normed vector space, $D\subseteq V$ and $\{f_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ a sequence in $V^*$ such that for all $x\in D$, the sequence $\{f_n(x)\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is bounded. Is it true that ...

Let $f_n$ be a sequence in $L^p(\mathbb{R})$ with $1 < p < \infty$ so that $f_n$ converges uniformly to $f$ on every compact subset of the real line. Find whether or not $f_n$ converges weakly ...

I have been trying to prove for some time now the basic fact that if $A$ is a self-adjoint operator that has an empty essential spectrum then it has compact resolvent. Here I am using that \begin{...

I want to prove that if $T:E \to E$ is a bounded operator on a Banach space $E$ and $\lambda \in \sigma_c (T)$, then there exists a sequence $x_n \in E$ such that $\| x_n \|=1$ and $Tx_n -\lambda x_n \...

In Reed-Simon chapter VIII, the following theorem is stated: Let $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty, A$ be self-adjoint operators. Suppose that $\mathcal{D}$ is a common core for $A_n, A$. Then if $A_n\varphi\to A\...
