A Schauder basis for \(L_2\) consisting of non-negative functions

Mathematische Annalen (2021)Cite this article

Abstract

We prove that \(L_2(\mathbb {R})\) contains a Schauder basis of non-negative functions. Similarly, for all \(1<p<\infty \), \(L_{p}(\mathbb {R})\) contains a Schauder basic sequence of non-negative functions such that \(L_p(\mathbb {R})\) embeds into the closed span of the sequence. We prove as well that if X is a separable Banach space with the bounded approximation property, then any set in X with dense span contains a quasi-basis (Schauder frame) for X.
