A theorem establishing a relationship between the spaces and : If a system of functions is orthonormal on the interval (cf. Orthonormal system) and a sequence of numbers is such that
(that is, ), then there exists a function for which
Moreover, the function is unique as an element of the space , i.e. up to its values on a set of Lebesgue measure zero. In particular, if the orthonormal system is closed (complete, cf. Complete system of functions) in , then, using the Riesz–Fischer theorem, one gets that the spaces and are isomorphic and isometric.
The theorem was proved independently by F. Riesz [1] and E. Fischer [2].
