The definition of the (optical) luminosity function (LF) of galaxies follows those of other astronomical objects such as stars or globular clusters. It is the number of galaxies that exist in a given volume of space having a given luminosity. Thereby, `luminosity' generally means a total magnitude in any photometric passband U, B, V, R, I, etc. However, because of the spectral sensitivity of phot...
