No label defined (Q4228972)

Linear subspaces \(V_1\), \(V_2\) of an \(L^p\)-space \((V,\|\;\|)\) \((p>0)\) are called orthogonal, if \(\| v_1+ v_2\|^p=\| v_1\|^p+\| v_2\|^p\) for \(v_1\in V_1\), \(v_2\in V_2\). An \(L^p\)-space \((V,\|\;\|)\) is called irreducible, if there are no (nontrivial) orthogonal linear subspaces \(V_1\), \(V_2\) of \(V\) such that \(V= V_1\oplus V_2\). The main theorem says that if \((V,\|\;\|)\) is an \(L^p\)-space, \(\dim V<\infty\) and \(0<p\leq 1\), then \(V\) can be written as a direct sum \(\bigoplus_{\lambda\in\Lambda} V_\lambda\) uniquely, where \((V_\lambda)_{\lambda\in \Lambda}\) is a family of mutually orthogonal irreducible subspaces \(V_\lambda\) of \(V\). There are also considered special bases for \(V\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00037].
