Ordered symbols are notations which are (likely) to appear as they are given here, for example C([a,b],R)
denotes the continuous function on the interval [a,b] that map to R - this is unlikely to be given any other way because "C" is for continuous.

Ordered symbols

These are ordered by symbols, and then by LaTeX names secondly, for example A

comes before A
comes before A

Expression Context Details
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
Denotes the Norm of a vector
fCk
  • Functional Analysis
This Norm is defined by fCk=ki=0supt[0,1](|f(i)(t)|)
- note f(i)
is the ith
derivative.
fLp
  • Functional Analysis
fLp=(10|f(t)|pdt)1p
- it is a Norm on C([0,1],R)
f
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
It is a norm on C([a,b],R)
, given by f=supx[a,b](|f(x)|)
C
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
That a function has continuous (partial) derivatives of all orders, it is a generalisation of Ck
functions
Ck
[at p]
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
A function is said to be Ck
[at p] if all (partial) derivatives of all orders exist and are continuous [at p]
Cp
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
Cp(A)
denotes the set of all germs of C
functions on A at p

The set of all germs of smooth functions at a point

Ck([a,b],R)
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
It is the set of all functions :[a,b]R
that are continuous and have continuous derivatives up to (and including) order k

The unit interval will be assumed when missing

Da(A)

Common: Da(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
Denotes Set of all derivations at a point - Not to be confused with Set of all derivations of a germ which is denoted Dp(A)

Note: This is my/Alec's notation for it, as the author[1] uses Tp(A) - which looks like Tangent space - the letter T is too misleading to allow this, and a lot of other books use T for Tangent space

Da(A)

Common: Da(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
Denotes Set of all derivations of a germ - Not to be confused with Set of all derivations at a point which is sometimes denoted Tp(A)
iAi
  • Measure Theory
Makes it explicit that the items in the union (the Ai
) are pairwise disjoint, that is for any two their intersection is empty
p(F)
  • Functional Analysis
The set of all bounded sequences, that is p(F)={(x1,x2,...)|xiF, i=1|xi|p<}
Lp
  • Measure Theory
Lp(μ)={u:XR|uM, |u|pdμ<}, p[1,)R

(X,A,μ)

is a measure space. The class of all measurable functions for which |f|p
is integrable

Lp
  • Measure Theory
Same as Lp
Tp(A)

Common:Tp(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
The tangent space at a point a

Sometimes denoted Rna - Note: sometimes can mean Set of all derivations at a point which is denoted Da(Rn) and not to be confused with Da(Rn)

which denotes Set of all derivations of germs

Unordered symbols

A/B
-measurable
  • Measure Theory
There exists a Measurable map between the σ-algebras
ab
  • Anything with vectors
Vector dot product
