Basis (Hilbert Space)/Examples/Space of Square Summable Mappings

Example of Basis (Hilbert Space)
Let $I$ be a set.

Let $\map {\ell^2} I$ be the space of square summable mappings over $I$.

For $i \in I$, define $e_i: I \to \GF$ as:


 * $\map {e_i} j := \begin{cases}

1 &: i = j \\ 0 &: i \ne j \end{cases}$

Then $\set{ e_i : i \in I}$ is a basis for $\map {\ell^2} I$.
