This article deals with the function space of rapidly falling functions; for the locally convex class of Schwartz spaces see Schwartz space (general) .
The Schwartz space is a function space that is examined in the mathematical sub-area of functional analysis. This is named after the mathematician Laurent Schwartz , who provided central results in distribution theory , whereby the Schwartz space also played an important role. The elements of the Schwartz space are called Schwartz functions . A special feature of this space is that the Fourier transform forms a linear automorphism in this space.
A function is called a Schwartz function or rapidly decreasing if it is continuously differentiable any number of times , and if the function is restricted to for all multi-indices , where the -th derivative denotes.
The vector space of all Schwartz functions is called Schwartz space and is denoted by. In a nutshell, then
The Schwartz space is complete in terms of the topology (or metric) induced by the family of semi-norms , and is thus a Fréchet space . He also has the Montel property .
As mentioned in the examples, the space of smooth functions with compact support is a subspace of the Schwartz space. This is even close to the Schwartz room.
A continuous , linear mapping is called temperature-controlled distribution . The set of all tempered distributions is denoted by. This is the topological dual space too .
