Functions with constant total energy are a convex space. This is like a linear space except it changes one rule: in a vector space, if a,b are scalars and x,y are vectors, then ax+by is a vector. In a convex space, there's the additional restrictions that a+b=1 and a>=0 and b>=0,
Any easy pointers on different spaces for us old Euclidians Matju
