Let be a bounded linear operator from a real Banach space to a real Hilbert space, and let be a proper lower-semicontinuous convex absolutely one-homogeneous functional on . The normalization and source relation imply by the Euler identity for a convex one-homogeneous functional. For the norm penalty on a Hilbert space, its nonzero-point subgradient is . Hence : is a right singular vector with singular value , and is the corresponding left singular vector. Thus the definition recovers the ordinary operator singular-vector relation using the one-homogeneous norm penalty. Uniqueness of the vector from its data requires extra hypotheses on and .
Graph norm Created 2026-09-28 Updated 2026-10-06
The graph norm of is . If and are Banach spaces, then is a closed linear operator exactly when its domain is complete in the graph norm.
If is a measurable function into a separable Banach space and has finite second moments under probability measures , then their Bochner integral expected values satisfy
Here the Hellinger distance includes the factor in its square. For a proof, use , , and . Apply the norm bound for a Bochner integral and the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to , then use . This explains why stability of a Bayesian posterior in Hellinger distance controls posterior expected values when the relevant second moments remain bounded.

For , the space consists of scalar sequences satisfying
It is a Banach space, and when .
Norm-closedness of compact operators Created 2026-10-03 Updated 2026-10-06
An operator norm limit of compact operators between Banach spaces is compact. Approximate the image of the unit ball by the image under one compact operator and transfer a finite epsilon-net across the small operator-norm error.
