Co-locating slowly increasing smooth functions in two different ways

This question is subsequent from my previous one. I will write everything in detail for the sake of completeness. Let $g_1$ and $g_2$ be smooth functions on $\mathbb{R}$, whose derivatives of all ...

How to prove that $f(x) := |x|^{\frac{\lambda - n}{p}}(1 - \psi(x))$ satisfies a specific property related to its limit at the origin

Disclaimer. I have asked this question a month ago on MSE (click here to access the original post) and even bountied it. I got an answer on MSE, but unfortunately I don't feel like it has enough ...

For any $p, q \in [1,\infty]$ and $s \in (0,\infty)$, can we find some $f \in L^q - W^{s,p}$?

Sobolev inequalities show us when we can embed a Sobolev space into another. However, I wonder if these inclusions are always proper. More specifically, let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded ...

Is the Schwartz space a tame Frechet space?

I ran into the following definition of tame Frechet spaces and Nash-Moser therem. It says that the space of smooth functions on a compact manifold is tame Frechet. However, I wonder if The Schwartz ...

Finding an element of Gelfand triple with a designated time derivative

Let $V$ be a real separable Banach space and $H$ be a real separable Hilbert space such that \begin{equation} V \subset H \subset V' \end{equation} where $V'$ is the dual of $V$ and the inclusions are ...

An example of a non-paracompact tvs (over the reals, say)

What is an example of a non-paracompact topological vector space? I'm aware of this question, but I don't care if my tvs is locally convex. In fact the wilder the better. The only criterion is that ...

Is $L^2(I,\mathbb Z)$ homeomorphic to the Hilbert space?

I am somehow puzzled by the subset $G:=L^2(I,\mathbb Z)$ of $H:=L^2(I,\mathbb R)$ of all integer valued functions on $I=[0,1]$ (in fact I mentioned as an example in this old MO question). Some simple ...

Hardy space inclusion in the right-half plane

I'm looking for an example of a function $u \in H_2$ such that $u \notin H_\infty$, where $H_p$ is the Hardy space on the right-half plane. Since this notation is perhaps not standard, here is a ...

Gelfand representation and functional calculus applications beyond Functional Analysis

I think it is fair to say that the fields of Operator Algebras, Operator Theory, and Banach Algebras rely on Gelfand representation and functional calculus in a crucial way. I am curious about ...

Are there "pathological convex sets" over ultravalued fields of char 2?

In their book Topological Vector Spaces (2nd ed.) Lawrence Narici and Edward Beckenstein generalise convex sets for TVS over ultravalued field $K$ as $K$-convex sets. The definition goes as following:...

Examples of $C^{k,1}$ functions which are not $C^{k+1}$?

I'm currently reading this paper and the authors define the set $C^{k,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ as consisting of all functions $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ having $k$ derivatives and for which: $$ \|...

Multivarate "RKHS" Examples

I've been reading about RKHSs and Hilbert spaces of functions these days a bit these days and I haven't yet come across an example of a hilbert space $H$ whose elements are all functions $f:\mathbb{R}^...

Known dense subset of Schwartz-like space and $C_c^{\infty}$?

After reading this question, which asked for some examples of commonly used (proper) dense subsets of $C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with the $L^p$-norm I wonder. What are some "well-known" ...

Real-world example of a Banach *-algebra with a nonzero *-radical

Is there a real-world example of a Banach *-algebra with a nonzero *-radical (intersection of kernels of all *-representations)? Textbooks give examples of finite-dimensional algebras with degenerate ...

Elementary applications of Krein-Milman

This is a cross-post from MSE: Elementary applications of Krein-Milman. I'm starting to suspect that the question just doesn't really have a great answer, it's worth a try. Recall that the Krein-...

Example for an integral, rectifiable varifold with unbounded first variation

Is it possible that a convex cone and its closure both induce vector lattices?

Given a convex cone $P\subset X$ where $X$ is a $K$-vector space, $K=\mathbb{R}\text{ or }\mathbb{C}$ is a field. Suppose that $P$ satisfies positive element stipulations. (1) $X=P-P$. (2) $P\cap-P=...

Example of Banach spaces with non-unique uniform structures

While it is known that compact Hausdorff spaces admit unique uniform structures, it is further shown by Johson and Lindenstrauss's result that Banach spaces are characterized by their uniform ...

system with solutions $\{x-a:0\leqslant a\leqslant z-1\}$ [closed]

What must be $F$ there where $0=F(1,x,0)=F(x-0,x,z)=F(x-1,x,z)=F(x-2,x,z)=F(x-3,x,z)=$ $\dots$ $=f(x-z-1,x,z)=0$? Define $F$ in the domain where a continuous function exists that behaves so for $x\...

Examples of TVS with no non-trivial open convex subsets

I give here the classical example of the space $E = L^p([0,1])$ which has no open convex subsets apart from $\emptyset$ and $E$. Consequently, there is no non-trivial continuous linear form on $E$. ...

Measures which exhibit the "uncorrelated implies independent" property

Let $X$ be a topological linear space, and let $X^*$ be its dual space. Suppose that $X$ is complete and Hausdorff, and $X^*$ separates points. Let $Y$ be another such space, and let $f : X \to Y$ be ...

Examples of Banach spaces and their duals

There are many representation theorems which state that the dual space of a Banach space $X$ has a particularly concrete form. For example, if $X = C([0,1],\mathbb R)$ is the space of real-valued ...

description of functions of conditionally negative type on a group

Recall that a kernel conditionaly of negative type on a set $X$ is a map $\psi:X\times X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ with the following properties: 1) $\psi(x,x)=0$ 2) $\psi(y,x)=\psi(x,y)$ 3) for any ...

Can we distinguish the algebraic and continuous duals of a Banach space without choice (or HBT)?

The algebraic dual of a normed vector space is the space of all linear functionals to the ground field (either $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ for this question). The continuous dual is the subspace of ...
