A pear tree-Orlicz space (also Orlicz space ) is a term from the mathematical sub-area of functional analysis and a function space that generalizes the L p spaces . It is named after the Polish mathematicians Zygmunt Wilhelm Birnbaum and Władysław Orlicz .
definition
Orlicz function
Let be a σ-finite measure on a set . A convex function is called an Orlicz function (also Young function ) if the following applies:

![{\ displaystyle \ phi \ colon [0, \ infty] \ to [0, \ infty]}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/da2771cb738ce67d481fe1bd7d16b94053ba0c69)

and

.
Orlicz standard
Now be the right inverse function to , that is, it holds . We define the complementary function to as the integral over its right inverse function:




-
.
The Orlicz norm is then given by:
-
.
Pear Tree Orlicz Room
The pear tree-orlicz space is defined as

(or in short as ), i.e. as the space of all measurable functions that have a finite Orlicz norm.

Luxembourg norm
An equivalent norm called the Luxemburg norm is obtained by
-
.
The following norm results for a random variable :

-
.
It applies to the Luxembourg-standard: .

properties
- The following applies to inclusion:

If one takes for , one obtains the L p -spaces .
