Compact Convergence
In mathematics compact convergence (or uniform convergence on compact sets) is a type of convergence that generalizes the idea of uniform convergence. It is associated with the compact-open topology. Definition Let (X, \mathcal) be a topological space and (Y,d_) be a metric space. A sequence of functions :f_ : X \to Y, n \in \mathbb, is said to converge compactly as n \to \infty to some function f : X \to Y if, for every compact set K \subseteq X, :f_, _ \to f, _ uniformly on K as n \to \infty. This means that for all compact K \subseteq X, :\lim_ \sup_ d_ \left( f_ (x), f(x) \right) = 0. Examples * If X = (0, 1) \subseteq \mathbb and Y = \mathbb with their usual topologies, with f_ (x) := x^, then f_ converges compactly to the constant function with value 0, but not uniformly. * If X=(0,1], Y=\R and f_n(x)=x^n, then f_n converges pointwise convergence, pointwise to the function that is zero on (0,1) and one at 1, but the sequence does not converge compactly. * A very po ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Compact Space
In mathematics, specifically general topology, compactness is a property that seeks to generalize the notion of a closed and bounded subset of Euclidean space. The idea is that a compact space has no "punctures" or "missing endpoints", i.e., it includes all ''limiting values'' of points. For example, the open interval (0,1) would not be compact because it excludes the limiting values of 0 and 1, whereas the closed interval ,1would be compact. Similarly, the space of rational numbers \mathbb is not compact, because it has infinitely many "punctures" corresponding to the irrational numbers, and the space of real numbers \mathbb is not compact either, because it excludes the two limiting values +\infty and -\infty. However, the ''extended'' real number line ''would'' be compact, since it contains both infinities. There are many ways to make this heuristic notion precise. These ways usually agree in a metric space, but may not be equivalent in other topological spaces. One suc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Convergence (mathematics)
In mathematics, a series (mathematics), series is the summation, sum of the terms of an infinite sequence of numbers. More precisely, an infinite sequence (a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots) defines a series (mathematics), series that is denoted :S=a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + \cdots=\sum_^\infty a_k. The th partial sum is the sum of the first terms of the sequence; that is, :S_n = a_1 +a_2 + \cdots + a_n = \sum_^n a_k. A series is convergent (or converges) if and only if the sequence (S_1, S_2, S_3, \dots) of its partial sums tends to a limit of a sequence, limit; that means that, when adding one a_k after the other ''in the order given by the indices'', one gets partial sums that become closer and closer to a given number. More precisely, a series converges, if and only if there exists a number \ell such that for every arbitrarily small positive number \varepsilon, there is a (sufficiently large) integer N such that for all n \ge N, :\left , S_n - \ell \right , 1 produce a convergent series: ...

Functional Analysis
Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limit-related structure (for example, Inner product space#Definition, inner product, Norm (mathematics)#Definition, norm, or Topological space#Definitions, topology) and the linear transformation, linear functions defined on these spaces and suitably respecting these structures. The historical roots of functional analysis lie in the study of function space, spaces of functions and the formulation of properties of transformations of functions such as the Fourier transform as transformations defining, for example, continuous function, continuous or unitary operator, unitary operators between function spaces. This point of view turned out to be particularly useful for the study of differential equations, differential and integral equations. The usage of the word ''functional (mathematics), functional'' as a noun goes back to the calculus of v ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Montel's Theorem
In complex analysis, an area of mathematics, Montel's theorem refers to one of two theorems about families of holomorphic functions. These are named after French mathematician Paul Montel, and give conditions under which a family of holomorphic functions is normal. Locally uniformly bounded families are normal The first, and simpler, version of the theorem states that a family of holomorphic functions defined on an open subset of the complex numbers is normal if and only if it is locally uniformly bounded. This theorem has the following formally stronger corollary. Suppose that \mathcal is a family of meromorphic functions on an open set D. If z_0\in D is such that \mathcal is not normal at z_0, and U\subset D is a neighborhood of z_0, then \bigcup_f(U) is dense in the complex plane. Functions omitting two values The stronger version of Montel's theorem (occasionally referred to as the Fundamental Normality Test) states that a family of holomorphic functions, all of which omi ...

Modes Of Convergence (annotated Index)
The purpose of this article is to serve as an annotated index of various modes of convergence and their logical relationships. For an expository article, see Modes of convergence. Simple logical relationships between different modes of convergence are indicated (e.g., if one implies another), formulaically rather than in prose for quick reference, and indepth descriptions and discussions are reserved for their respective articles. ---- ''Guide to this index.'' To avoid excessive verbiage, note that each of the following types of objects is a special case of types preceding it: sets, topological spaces, uniform spaces, topological abelian groups (TAG), normed vector spaces, Euclidean spaces, and the real/complex numbers. Also note that any metric space is a uniform space. Finally, subheadings will always indicate special cases of their super headings. The following is a list of modes of convergence for: A sequence of elements in a topological space (''Y'') * Convergence, ...

Continuous Function
In mathematics, a continuous function is a function such that a small variation of the argument induces a small variation of the value of the function. This implies there are no abrupt changes in value, known as '' discontinuities''. More precisely, a function is continuous if arbitrarily small changes in its value can be assured by restricting to sufficiently small changes of its argument. A discontinuous function is a function that is . Until the 19th century, mathematicians largely relied on intuitive notions of continuity and considered only continuous functions. The epsilon–delta definition of a limit was introduced to formalize the definition of continuity. Continuity is one of the core concepts of calculus and mathematical analysis, where arguments and values of functions are real and complex numbers. The concept has been generalized to functions between metric spaces and between topological spaces. The latter are the most general continuous functions, and their d ...

Compactly Generated Space
In topology, a topological space X is called a compactly generated space or k-space if its topology is determined by compact spaces in a manner made precise below. There is in fact no commonly agreed upon definition for such spaces, as different authors use variations of the definition that are not exactly equivalent to each other. Also some authors include some separation axiom (like Hausdorff space or weak Hausdorff space) in the definition of one or both terms, and others do not. In the simplest definition, a ''compactly generated space'' is a space that is coherent with the family of its compact subspaces, meaning that for every set A \subseteq X, A is open in X if and only if A \cap K is open in K for every compact subspace K \subseteq X. Other definitions use a family of continuous maps from compact spaces to X and declare X to be compactly generated if its topology coincides with the final topology with respect to this family of maps. And other variations of the definit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Locally Compact Space
In topology and related branches of mathematics, a topological space is called locally compact if, roughly speaking, each small portion of the space looks like a small portion of a compact space. More precisely, it is a topological space in which every point has a compact neighborhood. When locally compact spaces are Hausdorff they are called locally compact Hausdorff, which are of particular interest in mathematical analysis. Formal definition Let ''X'' be a topological space. Most commonly ''X'' is called locally compact if every point ''x'' of ''X'' has a compact neighbourhood, i.e., there exists an open set ''U'' and a compact set ''K'', such that x\in U\subseteq K. There are other common definitions: They are all equivalent if ''X'' is a Hausdorff space (or preregular). But they are not equivalent in general: :1. every point of ''X'' has a compact neighbourhood. :2. every point of ''X'' has a closed compact neighbourhood. :2′. every point of ''X'' has a relatively comp ...

Uniformly Bounded
In mathematics, a uniformly bounded family of functions is a family of bounded functions that can all be bounded by the same constant. This constant is larger than or equal to the absolute value of any value of any of the functions in the family. Definition Real line and complex plane Let :\mathcal F=\ be a family of functions indexed by I, where X is an arbitrary set and \mathbb is either the set of real \mathbb or complex numbers \mathbb. We call \mathcal F uniformly bounded if there exists a real number M>0 such that :, f_i(x), \le M \ , \qquad \forall i \in I \ , \quad \forall x \in X. Another way of stating this would be the following: :\sup\limits_ \sup\limits_ , f_i(x), \le M. Metric space In general let Y be a metric space with metric d, then the set :\mathcal F=\ is called uniformly bounded if there exists an element a from Y and a real number M such that :d(f_i(x), a) \leq M \qquad \forall i \in I \quad \forall x \in X.

Limit Of A Sequence
As the positive integer n becomes larger and larger, the value n\times \sin\left(\tfrac1\right) becomes arbitrarily close to 1. We say that "the limit of the sequence n \times \sin\left(\tfrac1\right) equals 1." In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence "tend to", and is often denoted using the \lim symbol (e.g., \lim_a_n).Courant (1961), p. 29. If such a limit exists and is finite, the sequence is called convergent. A sequence that does not converge is said to be divergent. The limit of a sequence is said to be the fundamental notion on which the whole of mathematical analysis ultimately rests. Limits can be defined in any metric space, metric or topological space, but are usually first encountered in the real numbers.
