How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The dual space X^* of a normed space and its dual norm

Definition

Let X be a normed space over the scalar field K, where K∈{R,C}, using A norm on a real vector space, the induced metric, and the dictionary with the metric axioms over R and Complex norm and complex normed space over C. The dual space of X is

X∗:=B(X,K),

the space of bounded linear functionals on X (The spaces (\mathcal B(X,Y)) and (\mathcal B(X)) of bounded linear operators).

Each f∈X∗ is in particular a linear functional in the algebraic sense, so X∗ is a subspace of the algebraic dual from Linear functionals and the algebraic dual V∗=L(V,F).

The dual norm on X∗ is the operator norm:

∥f∥X∗:=∥f∥=sup⁡{∣f(x)∣:∥x∥≤1}.

Remarks

  • The pairing between X∗ and X is evaluation: (f,x)↦f(x).
  • In this library, X∗ means the topological dual unless the phrase "algebraic dual" is written explicitly.

11 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
