{{Extra Maths}}Ordered symbols are notations which are (likely) to appear as they are given here, for example <math>C([a,b],\mathbb{R})</math> denotes the continuous function on the interval {{M|[a,b]}} that map to {{M|\mathbb{R} }} - this is unlikely to be given any other way because "C" is for continuous.

Markings

To make editing easier (and allow it to be done in stages) a mark column has been added

Marking Meaning
TANGENT Tangent space overhall is being done, it marks the "legacy" things that need to be removed - but only after what they link to has been updated and whatnot
TANGENT_NEW New tangent space markings that are consistent with the updates

Ordered symbols

These are ordered by symbols, and then by LaTeX names secondly, for example [math]A[/math] comes before [math]\mathbb{A}[/math] comes before [math]\mathcal{A}[/math]

Expression Context Details Mark
[math]\|\cdot\|[/math]
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis

  • Functional Analysis
This Norm is defined by [math]\|f\|_{C^k}=\sum^k_{i=0}\sup_{t\in[0,1]}(|f^{(i)}(t)|)[/math] - note [math]f^{(i)}[/math] is the [math]i^\text{th}[/math] derivative.
[math]\|f\|_{L^p}[/math]
  • Functional Analysis
[math]\|f\|_{L^p}=\left(\int^1_0|f(t)|^pdt\right)^\frac{1}{p}[/math] - it is a Norm on [math]\mathcal{C}([0,1],\mathbb{R})[/math]
