Using the index

People might use i or j or even k for indicies, as such "numbers" are indexed as "num" (notice the lower-case) so a space like Ck is under C_num.

We do subscripts first, so A2i would be under A _num ^num:2

When breaking up a term into its index key, spaces delimit the blocks, for example L21 becomes L _num:1 ^num:2 (the subscript comes first, we sort by subscript, then by superscript)

+ is used to extend the index keys, for example C1,2 would become C _num:1+num:2 and the +s are ordered lexicographically.

If there are multiple variable numbers (for example the i and j in Bji) we use num for each of them. Even if they're the same (eg both is or something) - while not ideal the index should be small enough (when you've got a leading letter) that you do not need any further granularity.

* denotes objects, so for example say in L(X,Y) (where X and Y are objects (vector spaces, or Banach spaces... ) we use the key obj for these. So L(X,Y) becomes L ( obj obj )

Ordering

  1. First come actual numbers.
  2. Next come num terms.
  3. Then come infty (which denotes
  4. Then comes objects
  5. Then come letters (upper case - shown as non-italic uppercase in the index)
  6. Then come letters (lower-case - shown as capital italics in the index)
  7. Then come special lowercase letters (shown as capital italics again in the index, with a ! prefixing the name.
  8. Then come brackets ( first, then [ then {
  9. Then comes subscript, then comes superscript.

For example C0 comes before Ci comes before C comes before Ctext.

The space 2 is !L _num:2, and l2 is L _num:2 which comes before 2

Index

Space or name Index Type Argument types Context Meaning
Ck on U C _num ON obj Class U - open set of Rn
  • (Everywhere)
(SEE Classes of continuously differentiable functions) - a function is Ck on U if URn is open and the partial derivatives of f:URm of all orders (up to and including k) are continuous on U
Ck(U) C _num ( obj ) Class U - open set of Rn
  • (Everywhere)
(SEE Classes of continuously differentiable functions) - denotes a set, given URn (that's open) fCk(U) if f:UR has continuous partial derivatives of all orders up to and including k on U
L(X,Y) L ( obj obj ) Normed vector space X, Y - normed vector spaces
  • Analysis
  • Functional analysis
  • Linear algebra
It's the Space of all continuous linear functions between two normed vector spaces and it itself is a normed vector space. Warning:I'm not sure if this differs or is universal, there can be discontinuous linear maps between spaces, however another book tells me L(V,W) denotes all linear maps between L and W - this needs investigation
l2 L _num:2 inner product space
  • Functional Analysis
Space of square-summable sequences
