This module introduces Hilbert spaces.

Now we consider inner product spaces with nice convergence properties that allow us to define countably-infinite orthonormalbases.

  • A Hilbert space is a complete inner product space. A complete
    The rational numbers provide an example of an incomplete set. We know thatit is possible to construct a sequence of rational numbers which approximate an irrational number arbitrarily closely. Itis easy to see that such a sequence will be Cauchy. However, the sequence will not converge to any rational number, and so the rationals cannot be complete.
    space is one where all Cauchy sequences converge to some vector within the space. For sequence x n to be Cauchy , the distance between its elements must eventually become arbitrarily small: ε ε 0 N ε n m n N ε m N ε x n x m ε For a sequence x n to be convergent to x , the distance between its elements and x must eventually become arbitrarily small: ε ε 0 N ε n n N ε x n x ε Examples are listed below (assuming the usual inner products):
    • V N
    • V N
    • V l 2 ( i.e. , square summable sequences)
    • V 2 ( i.e. , square integrable functions)
  • We will always deal with separable Hilbert spaces, which are those that have a countable
    A countable set is a set with at most a countably-infinite number of elements. Finite sets arecountable, as are any sets whose elements can be organized into an infinite list. Continuums ( e.g. , intervals of ) are uncountably infinite.
    orthonormal (ON) basis. A countable orthonormal basis for V is a countable orthonormal set S x k such that every vector in V can be represented as a linear combination of elements in S : y y V α k y k k α k x k Due to the orthonormality of S , the basis coefficients are given by α k x k y We can see this via: x k y x k n i 0 n α i x i n x k i 0 n α i x i n i 0 n α i x k x i α k where δ k i x k x i (where the second equality invokes the continuity of the inner product). In finite n -dimensional spaces ( e.g. , n or n ), any n -element ON set constitutes an ON basis. In infinite-dimensional spaces, wehave the following equivalences :
    • x 0 x 1 x 2 is an ON basis
    • If x i y 0 for all i , then y 0
    • y y V y 2 i i x i y 2 (Parseval's theorem)
    • Every y V is a limit of a sequence of vectors in span x 0 x 1 x 2
    Examples of countable ON bases for various Hilbert spaces include:
    • n : e 0 e N - 1 for e i 0 0 1 0 0 with "1" in the i th position
    • n : same as n
    • l 2 : δ i n i , for δ i n δ n i (all shifts of the Kronecker sequence)
    • 2 : to be constructed using wavelets ...
  • Say S is a subspace of Hilbert space V . The orthogonal complement of S in V , denoted S , is the subspace defined by the set x V x S . When S is closed, we can write V S S
  • The orthogonal projection of y onto S , where S is a closed subspace of V , is y ̂ i i x i y x i s.t. x i is an ON basis for S . Orthogonal projection yields the best approximation of y in S : y ̂ argmin x S y x The approximation error e y y ̂ obeys the orthogonality principle : e S We illustrate this concept using V 3 ( ) but stress that the same geometrical interpretation applies to any Hilbertspace.

A proof of the orthogonality principle is: e S i e x i 0 y y ̂ x i 0

lack electricity and its more savely than electronic microscope because its naturally by using of light
Abdullahi Reply
advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,

what is cell division
Aron Reply
Cell division is the process by which a single cell divides into two or more daughter cells. It is a fundamental process in all living organisms and is essential for growth, development, and reproduction. Cell division can occur through either mitosis or meiosis.
