and Applied Analysis 3 in the middle variable, and associative in the sense that x, y, z,w, v x, w, z, y , v x, y, z , w, v , and satisfies ‖ x, y, z ‖ ≤ ‖x‖ · ‖y‖ · ‖z‖ and ‖ x, x, x ‖ ‖x‖ see 45, 47 . Every left Hilbert C∗-module is a C∗-ternary algebra via the ternary product x, y, z : 〈x, y〉z. If a C∗-ternary algebra A, ·, ·, · has an identity, that is, an element e ∈ A such that x x, e, e ...
