The space C₀(X, ℝ) of continuous real-valued functions on X vanishing at infinity.
Instances For
A continuous linear functional u on C₀(X, ℝ) is positive iff it sends nonnegative
functions to nonnegative real numbers.
Instances For
Pointwise evaluation of a C₀ function is bounded by its sup norm.
The pointwise minimum of two C₀ functions, again in C₀(X, ℝ).
Instances For
For nonnegative f, the set posPartSet u f is nonempty, witnessed by the choice g = 0.
The set posPartSet u f is bounded above by ‖u‖ * ‖f‖.
The positive part of u evaluated at f: defined as sup {u g | 0 ≤ g ≤ f}. This is the
classical construction used to extract the positive component in the Jordan decomposition.
Instances For
For nonnegative f, the positive-part supremum is nonnegative.
The positive-part supremum vanishes at the zero function.
Additivity of the positive-part supremum on nonnegative functions: for f₁, f₂ ≥ 0 we have
posPartSup u (f₁ + f₂) = posPartSup u f₁ + posPartSup u f₂.
Homogeneity of posPartSup under multiplication by a positive scalar.
Homogeneity of posPartSup under multiplication by a nonnegative scalar.
Well-definedness of the positive part on signed decompositions: if f = h₁ - h₂ with
h₁, h₂ ≥ 0, then posPartSup u f⁺ - posPartSup u f⁻ = posPartSup u h₁ - posPartSup u h₂.
The CLM posPartCLM u agrees with the function posPartFn u.
The positive part posPartCLM u is a positive linear functional on C₀(X, ℝ).
For nonnegative f, the value u f is dominated by the positive part posPartCLM u f.
The operator norm of the positive part is bounded by the operator norm of u.
The operator norm of the negative part posPartCLM u - u is bounded by the operator norm
of u.
Lemma 1.5 (Jordan decomposition for C₀ functionals): every continuous linear functional
u : C₀(X, ℝ) →L[ℝ] ℝ decomposes as a difference u = u₊ - u₋ of two positive linear
functionals whose operator norms are bounded by ‖u‖.
