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-...

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 ...

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 $\...

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 ...
