In mathematics it is possible to have functions of functions, and functions of functions of functions and so on.

So if f is a function of function g of a variable x, which may be written as f(g(x)) then g is the inner function.

Thus in the function sin(3x2+5), the inner function is (3x2+5). Inner functions are particularly important in calculus (differentiation and integration).

What is the significance of the Hilbert-Schmidt inner product in the context of functional analysis?

The Hilbert-Schmidt inner product is important in functional analysis because it allows for the definition of a norm on the space of square-integrable functions. This inner product helps in studying the convergence of sequences of functions and in defining orthogonal projections in Hilbert spaces.
