form an inner product space with inner product given by

where
* and are square integrable functions,
* is the complex conjugate of
* is the set over which one integrates--in the first definition (given in the introduction above), is , in the second, is .

Since , square integrability is the same as saying

It can be shown that square integrable functions form a complete metric space
