Nonseparable Hilbert spaces
Being nonseparable Banach space is in fact nothing special: one meets the first
examples in the standard functional analysis course, when one learns about
$\ell^p$ or $L^p[0,1]$ spaces-these spaces ...

Approximation of a compactly supported function by Gaussians
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function whose support is a closed interval, e.g. $\text{supp}(f)=[a,b]$. Then $f$ can be approximated (e.g. in $L^2$) by a linear combination of Gaussian ...

Are the following subsets of a Hilbert space always homeomorphic?
Let $F$ be a infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space, with inner product $\langle\cdot\;| \;\cdot\rangle$, the norm $\|\cdot\|$, the 1-sphere $S(0,1)=\{x\in F;\;\|x\|=1\}$ and let $\mathcal{B}(F)$ ...

Completion of $C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ with norm $\|u\|= \Bigg(\int_{{\mathbb{R}}^N} |\Delta u |^2 \, \mathrm{d}x \Bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}}. $
I have a question that I could not find it any where.
Is the completion of $C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ with the respect to norm
$$\|u\|= \Bigg(\int_{{\mathbb{R}}^N} |\Delta u |^2 \, \mathrm{d}x \...

A homeomorphism between the unit interval $[0,1]$ and a linearly independent subset of a Hilbert space
Let $H$ be a infinite dimensional, separable Hilbert space over $\mathbb{C}$
Let $B$ a subset of $H$ such that $B$ is linearly independent and such that exists a homeomorphism $f : [0,1] \to B$ ...

A map into a Hilbert space with prescribed orthogonality
Let $X$ be a locally compact separable metric space, and let $L:X\times X\to \mathbb{C}$ be continuous and such that $L(x,x)=1$ and $L(y,x)=\overline{L(x,y)}$, for every $x,y$.
Does there always ...

Hilbert-irreducible Banach space
A Banach space $X$ is called Hilbert-irreducible if it satisfies the following condition:
If a subspace $Y\subset X$ satisfies the parallelogram equality, then $Y$ is necessarilly a one ...

A question on unit norm elements of $\ell^2 \setminus \bigcup_{0<p<2 }\ell^p$
Let $A\subset \ell^2$ consist of all $x\in \ell^2$ with $|x|_2=1$ which does not belong to any $\ell^p$ for all $0<p<2$.
Note that $A$ is non-empty with a Baire category argument.
I ...

Properties of Sobolev spaces $W^{k,p}(\Omega, E)$ where $E$ is a Banach space
$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$Let $E$ be a Banach space with norm $\|\cdot\|_E$ and let $\Omega\subset \R^n$ be an open set.
For $k\geq 0, p\geq 1$ we define $W^{k,p}(\Omega, E)$, the Sobolev space of ...
