I am posting a CW answer. Feel free to add other references. Here are some references containing at least some basic facts about the construction from the question (or at least the fact that it yields a Banach space). **Books** * Aliprantis, Charalambos D.; Border, Kim C. (2006). *Infinite dimensional analysis: A hitchhiker's guide* (Third ed.).

If we know the name, this might help it finding at least some references if we search for this name with some reasonable additional keywords: * ["lp sum" "Banach spaces"](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lp+sum%22+%22Banach+spaces%22) ([Google Books](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lp+sum%22+%22Banach+spaces%22&tbm=bks)) * ["lp direct sum" "Banach spaces"](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lp+direct+sum%22+%22Banach+spaces%22) ([Google Books](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lp+direct+sum%22+%22Banach+spaces%22&tbm=bks)) * ["lp sum" "normed spaces"](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lp+sum%22+%22normed+spaces%22) ([Google Books](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lp+sum%22+%22normed+spaces%22&tbm=bks))
