Positive linear functional — In mathematics, especially in functional analysis, a positive linear functional on an ordered vector space ( V , ≤) is a linear functional f on V so that for all positive elements v of V , that is v ge;0, it holds that:f(v)geq 0.In other words, a … Wikipedia
Positive element — In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a hermitian element A of a C* algebra is a positive element if its spectrum consists of nonnegative real numbers. It is possible to prove that an element x of a C* algebra A is positive if and only… … Wikipedia
