Approximate singular value decomposition in Banach spaces

I am interested in generalisations to Banach spaces of the following construction, which relates to the singular value decomposition of a finite-dimensional linear map. If $V$, $W$ are finite-...

A stronger Cauchy-Schwarz in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces?

In this MSE and question and this MO question, stronger variants of the classical Cauchy-Schwarz inequality have been suggested in finite dimensional spaces. Can we find similar results for infinite ...

How to calculate the volume of a parallelepiped in a normed space?

Let $E$ be a real normed space, and let $v_1,...,v_n\in E$ be linearly independent. The parallelepiped defined by these vectors is $P=\{\sum_{i=1}^{n}\alpha_i v_i|~0\le\alpha_i\le 1\}$. Since $E$ is a ...

Larger possible chain of closed subspaces in the dual of a Banach space

In this question, is demonstrated that a separable space can have a chain (ordered by inclusion) of closed subspaces with uncountable many subspaces. My question is the following. If $X$ is an ...

Isometries between subspaces of finite-dimensional vector spaces

I would like to characterise the subspaces of $\ell_p^n(\mathbb{R})$ that are isometric (for $p$ an even integer). In the literature, I have found few results related to this. Taking $n \le m$, one ...

What is the trace of this operator in $L^\infty$ (if this question make sense)?

Let $\Omega$ be a closed domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, and $\lambda$ the corresponding Lebesgue measure. We define in $(L^\infty(\Omega), \Vert \cdot \Vert_\infty)$ the following operator : \begin{array}{...

Closed-form expressions for dual norms of real normed vector spaces

Didn't get any biters over at MSE, so I figure this place might be more appropriate... Say that $V$ is a finite-dimensional real normed vector space, where for some $v \in V$ the norm is notated by $\...

Estimating $\ell^p$ and $\ell^q$ norms on a convex cone

For $1 \le p \le q \le \infty$, I need an inequality bounding the $\ell_q$ norm from above by the $\ell_p$ norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$: finding a $\lambda$ so that $$ \Vert v \Vert_q \le \lambda \Vert v \...

Linear independence of an odd set of measurable functions

Let $g(t)$ be a convex positive function. I'm trying to show that the set $\{ |t|^ne^{\frac{g(t)}{t^n}}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is linearly independent in the space of measurable functions on $\mathbb{R}...

Critical Growth of Dimension for Dense Cover by Linear Subspaces

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space of dimensional $>2$. When does there exist a sequence positive integers $\{N_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{n}}$ such that For any sequence of distinct finite-dimensional ...

Does AX+XA=0 have any non-trivial solutions?

Let $X$ be a continuous linear self-adjoint operator on some Hilbert space $H$ and for arbitrary compact operators $A$ we have: $XA+AX=0.$ Does this imply that $X=0$ or can there be non-trivial ...
