H square
In mathematics and control theory, H2, or H-square is a Hardy space with square norm. It is a subspace of L2 space, and is thus a Hilbert space. In particular, it is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space.In general, elements of L2 on the unit circle are given by
whereas elements of H2 are given by
The projection from L2 to H2 is orthogonal.On the half-plane
The Laplace transform given by
can be understood as a linear operator
where is the set of square-integrable functions on the positive real number line, and is the right half of the complex plane. It is more; it is an isomorphism, in that it is invertible, and it isometric, in that it satisfies
The Laplace transform is "half" of a Fourier transform; from the decomposition
one then obtains an orthogonal decomposition of into two Hardy spaces
This is essentially the Paley-Wiener theorem.
