Category:Definitions/Norm on Bounded Linear Functional

This category contains definitions related to Norm on Bounded Linear Functional.

Let $\GF$ be a subfield of $\C$.

Let $\struct {V, \norm {\, \cdot \,} }$ be a normed vector space over $\GF$.

Let $L : V \to \GF$ be a bounded linear functional.

Definition 1

The norm of $L$ is defined as the supremum:

$\norm L = \sup \set {\size {L v}: \norm v \le 1}$

Definition 2

The norm of $L$ is defined as the supremum:

$\norm L = \sup \set {\size {L v}: \norm v = 1}$

where the supremum is taken in $\struct {\closedint 0 \infty, \le}$ where $\le$ is the restriction of the standard ordering of the extended real numbers.

Definition 3

The norm of $L$ is defined as the supremum:

$\norm L = \sup \set {\dfrac {\size {L v} } {\norm v}: v \in V, v \ne \bszero_V}$

where the supremum is taken in $\struct {\closedint 0 \infty, \le}$ where $\le$ is the restriction of the standard ordering of the extended real numbers.

Definition 4

The norm of $L$ is the infimum:

$\norm L = \inf \set {c > 0: \forall v \in V : \size {L v} \le c \norm v}$
