Model spaces from t-orthogonal bases #
A t-orthogonal basis whose vector norms are bounded above and bounded away from zero gives
continuous linear coordinates in C₀(I, K). The inverse coordinate map is the unconditional
sum against the chosen basis. Every t-orthogonal basis over a nontrivially normed field can be
rescaled to satisfy these bounds, using powers of a fixed scalar of norm strictly between zero
and one.
Consequently every complete ultrametric space of countable type over a complete nontrivially
normed field is potentially orthonormalisable. In infinite dimension its model is C₀(ℕ, K).
No discreteness assumption on the value group is needed. These coordinates allow the lifting
property of model spaces to be applied to spaces of countable type.

Instances For
The inverse coordinate map is the linear combination map of the chosen basis.
Coordinates reconstruct the vector by unconditional summation.
The model-space coordinates agree with those of the associated unconditional Schauder basis.
The norm of the coordinate vector is controlled by the orthogonality constant and the uniform lower bound on the basis-vector norms.
The coordinate isomorphism sends each basis vector to the corresponding unit vector.
The coordinates are the coefficients of every unconditional expansion in the basis.
Every complete ultrametric space with a t-orthogonal basis, t > 0, is continuously
linearly equivalent to the model space with the same index type.
