Unisolvent functions

Template:Notability In mathematics — specifically, in probability theory — the concentration dimension of a Banach space-valued random variable is a numerical measure of how “spread out” the random variable is compared to the norm on the space.

Definition

Let (B, || ||) be a Banach space and let X be a Gaussian random variable taking values in B. That is, for every linear functional ℓ in the dual space B^∗, the real-valued random variable ⟨ℓ, X⟩ has a normal distribution. Define

$\sigma (X)=\sup \{\sqrt{\mathrm{E}[⟨\ell ,X{⟩}^2]}|\ell \in B^{\ast },\Vert \ell \Vert \le 1\}.$

Then the concentration dimension d(X) of X is defined by

$d(X)=\frac{\mathrm{E}[\Vert X{\Vert }^2]}{\sigma (X{)}^2}.$

Examples

• If B is n-dimensional Euclidean space Rⁿ with its usual Euclidean norm,Template:Clarify and X is a standard Gaussian random variable, then σ(X) = 1 and E[||X||²] = n, so d(X) = n.
• If B is Rⁿ with the supremum norm, then σ(X) = 1 but E[||X||²] (and hence d(X)) is of the order of log(n).
