Discussion
“Normalization w.r.t. $S$”,
$N_Sf:=(Sf)^{-1}\cdot f$,
has $SN_Sf=e$ and $[N_S]=[S^{-1}]$.
As $S$ is linear,
$N_S(c\,f)=N_S(f)$
We'll also write
$\bar{f}:=(Sf)^{-1}\cdot f$
Example 1
For $F$ being a set of functions from ${\mathbb N}$ to some monoid for which a sum is defined that's always invertible, the general case (I think) is
$Sf:=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (L_nf)(n)$,
where $(L_n)$ is a suitable sequence of linear operations (e.g. differential operators).
For $L_n={\mathrm{id}}$ we get the standard sum (see below).
Explicitly, let $a$ be a sequence to $\mathbb C$ and the sum is non-zero, then
$\bar{a}:{\mathbb N}\to[0,1]$
$\bar{a}(n):=\frac{a(n)}{\sum_{k=0}^\infty a(k)}$
has
$\sum_{n=0}^\infty \bar{a}(n)=1$
Example 1
For ${\mathbb D}\subseteq{\mathbb R}^m$ we have integrals.
