M. Riesz extension theorem

M. Riesz extension theorem

The M. Riesz extension theorem is a theorem in mathematics, proved by Marcel Riesz during his study of the problem of moments.

Formulation

Let E be a real vector space, F subset E be a vector subspace, and let K subset E be a convex cone.

Then, a linear functional phi:F o mathbb R that is K-"positive", meaning that

:phi(x) geq 0 quad ext{for} quad x in F cap K,

can be extended to a K-positive linear functional on E. In other words,there exists a linear functional

:psi:E o mathbb R

such that

:psi|_F = phi quad ext{and} quad psi(x) geq 0 for x in K.

The proof of this theorem uses transfinite induction. The main step is to show that the theorem holds if dim E/F = 1.

Corollary: Krein's extension theorem

Let E be a real linear space, and let K subset E be a convex cone.

For every 0 eq x in E, there exists a K-positive linear functional phi: E o mathbb{R} such that phi(x) eq 0.
