Schwartz Topological Vector Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, Schwartz spaces are topological vector spaces (TVS) whose neighborhoods of the origin have a property similar to the definition of totally bounded subsets. These spaces were introduced by Alexander Grothendieck. Definition A Hausdorff locally convex space with continuous dual X^, is called a Schwartz space if it satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions: #For every closed convex balanced neighborhood of the origin in , there exists a neighborhood of in such that for all real , can be covered by finitely many translates of . #Every bounded subset of is totally bounded and for every closed convex balanced neighborhood of the origin in , there exists a neighborhood of in such that for all real , there exists a bounded subset of such that . Properties Every quasi-complete Schwartz space is a semi-Montel space. Every Fréchet Schwartz space is a Montel space. The strong dual space of a comp ...

Functional Analysis
Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limit-related structure (e.g. Inner product space#Definition, inner product, Norm (mathematics)#Definition, norm, Topological space#Definition, topology, etc.) and the linear transformation, linear functions defined on these spaces and respecting these structures in a suitable sense. The historical roots of functional analysis lie in the study of function space, spaces of functions and the formulation of properties of transformations of functions such as the Fourier transform as transformations defining continuous function, continuous, unitary operator, unitary etc. operators between function spaces. This point of view turned out to be particularly useful for the study of differential equations, differential and integral equations. The usage of the word ''functional (mathematics), functional'' as a noun goes back to the calculus of variati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quasi-complete Space
In functional analysis, a topological vector space (TVS) is said to be quasi-complete or boundedly complete if every closed and bounded subset is complete. This concept is of considerable importance for non- metrizable TVSs. Properties * Every quasi-complete TVS is sequentially complete. * In a quasi-complete locally convex space, the closure of the convex hull of a compact subset is again compact. * In a quasi-complete Hausdorff TVS, every precompact subset is relatively compact. * If is a normed space and is a quasi-complete locally convex TVS then the set of all compact linear maps of into is a closed vector subspace of L_b(X;Y). * Every quasi-complete infrabarrelled space is barreled. * If is a quasi-complete locally convex space then every weakly bounded subset of the continuous dual space is strongly bounded. * A quasi-complete nuclear space then has the Heine–Borel property. Examples and sufficient conditions Every complete TVS is quasi-complete. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Normed Space
In mathematics, a normed vector space or normed space is a vector space over the real or complex numbers, on which a norm is defined. A norm is the formalization and the generalization to real vector spaces of the intuitive notion of "length" in the real (physical) world. A norm is a real-valued function defined on the vector space that is commonly denoted x\mapsto \, x\, , and has the following properties: #It is nonnegative, meaning that \, x\, \geq 0 for every vector x. #It is positive on nonzero vectors, that is, \, x\, = 0 \text x = 0. # For every vector x, and every scalar \alpha, \, \alpha x\, = , \alpha, \, \, x\, . # The triangle inequality holds; that is, for every vectors x and y, \, x+y\, \leq \, x\, + \, y\, . A norm induces a distance, called its , by the formula d(x,y) = \, y-x\, . which makes any normed vector space into a metric space and a topological vector space. If this metric space is complete then the normed space is a Banach space. Every normed vec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cartesian Product
In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets ''A'' and ''B'', denoted ''A''×''B'', is the set of all ordered pairs where ''a'' is in ''A'' and ''b'' is in ''B''. In terms of set-builder notation, that is : A\times B = \. A table can be created by taking the Cartesian product of a set of rows and a set of columns. If the Cartesian product is taken, the cells of the table contain ordered pairs of the form . One can similarly define the Cartesian product of ''n'' sets, also known as an ''n''-fold Cartesian product, which can be represented by an ''n''-dimensional array, where each element is an ''n''-tuple. An ordered pair is a 2-tuple or couple. More generally still, one can define the Cartesian product of an indexed family of sets. The Cartesian product is named after René Descartes, whose formulation of analytic geometry gave rise to the concept, which is further generalized in terms of direct product.

Ultrabornological Space
In functional analysis, a topological vector space (TVS) X is called ultrabornological if every bounded linear operator from X into another TVS is necessarily continuous. A general version of the closed graph theorem holds for ultrabornological spaces. Ultrabornological spaces were introduced by Alexander Grothendieck (Grothendieck 955, p. 17"espace du type (β)"). Definitions Let X be a topological vector space (TVS). Preliminaries A disk is a convex and balanced set. A disk in a TVS X is called bornivorous if it absorbs every bounded subset of X. A linear map between two TVSs is called infrabounded if it maps Banach disks to bounded disks. A disk D in a TVS X is called infrabornivorous if it satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions: D absorbs every Banach disks in X. while if X locally convex then we may add to this list: the gauge of D is an infrabounded map; while if X locally convex and Hausdorff then we may add to this list: D absorbs ...

Complete Topological Vector Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a complete topological vector space is a topological vector space (TVS) with the property that whenever points get progressively closer to each other, then there exists some point x towards which they all get closer. The notion of "points that get progressively closer" is made rigorous by or , which are generalizations of , while "point x towards which they all get closer" means that this Cauchy net or filter converges to x. The notion of completeness for TVSs uses the theory of uniform spaces as a framework to generalize the notion of completeness for metric spaces. But unlike metric-completeness, TVS-completeness does not depend on any metric and is defined for TVSs, including those that are not metrizable or Hausdorff. Completeness is an extremely important property for a topological vector space to possess. The notions of completeness for normed spaces and metrizable TVSs, which are commonly defined in terms of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Strong Dual Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, the strong dual space of a topological vector space (TVS) X is the continuous dual space X^ of X equipped with the strong (dual) topology or the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of X, where this topology is denoted by b\left(X^, X\right) or \beta\left(X^, X\right). The coarsest polar topology is called weak topology. The strong dual space plays such an important role in modern functional analysis, that the continuous dual space is usually assumed to have the strong dual topology unless indicated otherwise. To emphasize that the continuous dual space, X^, has the strong dual topology, X^_b or X^_ may be written. Strong dual topology Throughout, all vector spaces will be assumed to be over the field \mathbb of either the real numbers \R or complex numbers \C. Definition from a dual system Let (X, Y, \langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle) be a dual pair of vector spaces over the field \mathbb of real numbers ...

Fréchet Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, Fréchet spaces, named after Maurice Fréchet, are special topological vector spaces. They are generalizations of Banach spaces (normed vector spaces that are complete with respect to the metric induced by the norm). All Banach and Hilbert spaces are Fréchet spaces. Spaces of infinitely differentiable functions are typical examples of Fréchet spaces, many of which are typically Banach spaces. A Fréchet space X is defined to be a locally convex metrizable topological vector space (TVS) that is complete as a TVS, meaning that every Cauchy sequence in X converges to some point in X (see footnote for more details).Here "Cauchy" means Cauchy with respect to the canonical uniformity that every TVS possess. That is, a sequence x_ = \left(x_m\right)_^ in a TVS X is Cauchy if and only if for all neighborhoods U of the origin in X, x_m - x_n \in U whenever m and n are sufficiently large. Note that this definition of a Cau ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Montel Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a Montel space, named after Paul Montel, is any topological vector space (TVS) in which an analog of Montel's theorem holds. Specifically, a Montel space is a barrelled topological vector space in which every closed and bounded subset is compact. Definition A topological vector space (TVS) has the if every closed and bounded subset is compact. A is a barrelled topological vector space with the Heine–Borel property. Equivalently, it is an infrabarrelled semi-Montel space where a Hausdorff locally convex topological vector space is called a or if every bounded subset is relatively compact.A subset S of a topological space X is called relatively compact is its closure in X is compact. A subset of a TVS is compact if and only if it is complete and totally bounded. A is a Fréchet space that is also a Montel space. Characterizations A separable Fréchet space is a Montel space if and only if each weak-* ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Balanced Set
In linear algebra and related areas of mathematics a balanced set, circled set or disk in a vector space (over a field \mathbb with an absolute value function , \cdot , ) is a set S such that a S \subseteq S for all scalars a satisfying , a, \leq 1. The balanced hull or balanced envelope of a set S is the smallest balanced set containing S. The balanced core of a subset S is the largest balanced set contained in S. Balanced sets are ubiquitous in functional analysis because every neighborhood of the origin in every topological vector space (TVS) contains a balanced neighborhood of the origin and every convex neighborhood of the origin contains a balanced convex neighborhood of the origin (even if the TVS is not locally convex). This neighborhood can also be chosen to be an open set or, alternatively, a closed set. Definition Let X be a vector space over the field \mathbb of real or complex numbers. Notation If S is a set, a is a scalar, and B \subseteq \mathbb then let a S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...
