Lp Spaces

Lp spaces are a type of mathematical framework used to analyze functions based on their size or magnitude. Think of them as collections of functions where the "distance" or "size" of a function is measured by taking the sum of its values raised to a power \( p \) (like squaring or cubing) and then taking the root. When a function belongs to an Lp space, it means this measure is finite, indicating the function doesn’t become too wild or unbounded. These spaces help mathematicians and scientists work with functions that are well-behaved in terms of their size, enabling analysis in areas like signal processing, physics, and data science.
