l^p spaces are a family of vector spaces defined by sequences whose p-th power is summable, meaning they consist of all sequences of real or complex numbers for which the sum of the absolute values raised to the power of p is finite. These spaces are fundamental in functional analysis and have important applications in various areas, including approximation theory, where they help establish the convergence properties of sequences of functions.
