Generalized Cauchy functional equation and characterizations of inner product spaces. (Summary).
The purpose of the Part I of this paper is to develop the geometry of Gram's determinants in Hilbert space. In Parts II and III a generalization is given of the Pythagorean theorem and triangular inequality for finite vector families.
The best constant in the Hyers-Ulam theorem on isometric approximation in Hilbert spaces is equal to the Jung constant of the space.
Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and M a metric space. is the set of f ∈ C(X,M) such that there is a dense set of points x ∈ X with f constant on some neighborhood of x. We describe some general classes of X for which is all of C(X,M). These include βℕ, any nowhere separable LOTS, and any X such that forcing with the open subsets of X does not add reals. In the case where M is a Banach space, we discuss the properties of as a normed linear space. We also build three first countable Eberlein...
We develop several methods of realization of scalar product and generalized moment problems. Constructions are made by use of a Hilbertian method or a fixed point method. The constructed solutions are rational fractions and exponentials of polynomials. They are connected to entropy maximization. We give the general form of the maximizing solution. We show how it is deduced from the maximizing solution of the algebraic moment problem.
Let T be a precompact subset of a Hilbert space. We estimate the metric entropy of co(T), the convex hull of T, by quantities originating in the theory of majorizing measures. In a similar way, estimates of the Gelfand width are provided. As an application we get upper bounds for the entropy of co(T), , , by functions of the ’s only. This partially answers a question raised by K. Ball and A. Pajor (cf. [1]). Our estimates turn out to be optimal in the case of slowly decreasing sequences .
Let be the set of partial isometries with finite rank of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space . We show that is a smooth submanifold of the Hilbert space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators of and that each connected component is the set , which consists of all partial isometries of rank . Furthermore, is a homogeneous space of , where is the classical Banach-Lie group of unitary operators of , which are Hilbert-Schmidt perturbations of the identity. We introduce two Riemannian metrics...
