<p>In <a href="Mathematics" title="Mathematics">mathematics</a>, a <b>function space</b> is a <a href="Set_(mathematics)" title="Set (mathematics)">set</a> of <a href="Function_(mathematics)" title="Function (mathematics)">functions</a> between two fixed sets. Often, the <a href="Domain_of_a_function" title="Domain of a function">domain</a> and/or <a href="Codomain" title="Codomain">codomain</a> will have additional <a href="Mathematical_structure" title="Mathematical structure">structure</a> which is inherited by the function space. For example, the set of functions from any set <var style="padding-right: 1px;">X</var> into a <a href="Vector_space" title="Vector space">vector space</a> has a <a href="List_of_mathematical_jargon" class="mw-redirect" title="List of mathematical jargon">natural</a> vector space structure given by <a href="Pointwise" title="Pointwise">pointwise</a> addition and scalar multiplication. In other scenarios, the function space might inherit a <a href="Topological_space" title="Topological space">topological</a> or <a href="Metric_space" title="Metric space">metric</a> structure, hence the name function <i>space</i>.

When the domain <var style="padding-right: 1px;">X</var> has additional structure, one might consider instead the <a href="Subset" title="Subset">subset</a> (or <a href="Linear_subspace" title="Linear subspace">subspace</a>) of all such functions which respect that structure. For example, if <var style="padding-right: 1px;">V</var> and also <var style="padding-right: 1px;">X</var> itself are vector spaces over <var style="padding-right: 1px;">F</var>, the set of <a href="Linear_map" title="Linear map">linear maps</a> <var style="padding-right: 1px;">X</var> → <var style="padding-right: 1px;">V</var> form a vector space over <var style="padding-right: 1px;">F</var> with pointwise operations (often denoted <a href="Hom_set" class="mw-redirect" title="Hom set">Hom</a>(<var style="padding-right: 1px;">X</var>,<var style="padding-right: 1px;">V</var>)). One such space is the <a href="Dual_space" title="Dual space">dual space</a> of <var style="padding-right: 1px;">X</var>: the set of <a href="Linear_form" title="Linear form">linear functionals</a> <var style="padding-right: 1px;">X</var> → <var style="padding-right: 1px;">F</var> with addition and scalar multiplication defined pointwise.
