Finite-rank Operators On A Banach Space
A finite-rank operator between Banach spaces is a bounded operator such that its range is finite dimensional. Just as in the Hilbert space case, it can be written in the form
where now, and are bounded linear functionals on the space .
A bounded linear functional is a particular case of a finite-rank operator, namely of rank one.

Famous quotes containing the word space:
“Mere human beings can’t afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.”
—Storm Jameson (1891–1986)
