Infrabarreled Space
In functional analysis, a discipline within mathematics, a locally convex topological vector space (TVS) is said to be infrabarrelled (also spelled infra barreled) if every bounded absorbing barrel is a neighborhood of the origin. Characterizations If X is a Hausdorff locally convex space then the canonical injection from X into its bidual is a topological embedding if and only if X is infrabarrelled. Properties Every quasi-complete infrabarrelled space is barrelled. Examples Every barrelled space In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a barrelled space (also written barreled space) is a topological vector space (TVS) for which every barrelled set in the space is a neighbourhood for the zero vector. A barrelled set or a ... is infrabarrelled. A closed vector subspace of an infrabarrelled space is, however, not necessarily infrabarrelled. Every product and locally convex direct sum of any family of infrabarrelled spaces is infrabarrelled. Eve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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] |
Locally Convex Topological Vector Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, locally convex topological vector spaces (LCTVS) or locally convex spaces are examples of topological vector spaces (TVS) that generalize normed spaces. They can be defined as topological vector spaces whose topology is generated by translations of balanced, absorbent, convex sets. Alternatively they can be defined as a vector space with a family of seminorms, and a topology can be defined in terms of that family. Although in general such spaces are not necessarily normable, the existence of a convex local base for the zero vector is strong enough for the Hahn–Banach theorem to hold, yielding a sufficiently rich theory of continuous linear functionals. Fréchet spaces are locally convex spaces that are completely metrizable (with a choice of complete metric). They are generalizations of Banach spaces, which are complete vector spaces with respect to a metric generated by a norm. History Metrizable topologies on vecto ...

Topological Vector Space
In mathematics, a topological vector space (also called a linear topological space and commonly abbreviated TVS or t.v.s.) is one of the basic structures investigated in functional analysis. A topological vector space is a vector space that is also a topological space with the property that the vector space operations (vector addition and scalar multiplication) are also Continuous function, continuous functions. Such a topology is called a and every topological vector space has a Uniform space, uniform topological structure, allowing a notion of uniform convergence and Complete topological vector space, completeness. Some authors also require that the space is a Hausdorff space (although this article does not). One of the most widely studied categories of TVSs are locally convex topological vector spaces. This article focuses on TVSs that are not necessarily locally convex. Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces and Sobolev spaces are other well-known examples of TVSs. Many topological vec ...

Bounded Set (topological Vector Space)
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a set in a topological vector space is called bounded or von Neumann bounded, if every neighborhood of the zero vector can be ''inflated'' to include the set. A set that is not bounded is called unbounded. Bounded sets are a natural way to define locally convex polar topologies on the vector spaces in a dual pair, as the polar set of a bounded set is an absolutely convex and absorbing set. The concept was first introduced by John von Neumann and Andrey Kolmogorov in 1935. Definition Suppose X is a topological vector space (TVS) over a field \mathbb. A subset B of X is called or just in X if any of the following equivalent conditions are satisfied: : For every neighborhood V of the origin there exists a real r > 0 such that B \subseteq s VFor any set A and scalar s, the notation s A is denotes the set s A := \. for all scalars s satisfying , s, \geq r. * This was the definition introduced by John von Neumann ...

Absorbing Set
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics an absorbing set in a vector space is a Set (mathematics), set S which can be "inflated" or "scaled up" to eventually always include any given point of the vector space. Alternative terms are Radial set, radial or absorbent set. Every Neighbourhood (mathematics), neighborhood of the origin in every topological vector space is an absorbing subset. Definition Suppose that X is a vector space over the Field (mathematics), field \mathbb of real numbers \R or complex numbers \Complex. Notation Products of scalars and vectors For any -\infty \leq r \leq R \leq \infty, vector x, and subset A \subseteq X, let B_r = \ \quad \text \quad B_ = \ denote the ''open ball'' (respectively, the ''closed ball'') of radius r in \mathbb centered at 0, and let (r, R) x = \ \quad \text \quad (r, R) A = \. Similarly, if K \subseteq \mathbb and k is a scalar then let K A = \, K x = \, k A = \, and \mathbb x = \ = \operatorname \. Balanced co ...

Barreled Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a barrelled space (also written barreled space) is a topological vector space (TVS) for which every barrelled set in the space is a neighbourhood for the zero vector. A barrelled set or a barrel in a topological vector space is a set that is convex, balanced, absorbing, and closed. Barrelled spaces are studied because a form of the Banach–Steinhaus theorem still holds for them. Barrelled spaces were introduced by . Barrels A convex and balanced subset of a real or complex vector space is called a and it is said to be , , or . A or a in a topological vector space (TVS) is a subset that is a closed absorbing disk; that is, a barrel is a convex, balanced, closed, and absorbing subset. Every barrel must contain the origin. If \dim X \geq 2 and if S is any subset of X, then S is a convex, balanced, and absorbing set of X if and only if this is all true of S \cap Y in Y for every 2-dimensional vector subspace Y; ...

Semi-reflexive Space
In the area of mathematics known as functional analysis, a semi-reflexive space is a locally convex topological vector space (TVS) ''X'' such that the canonical evaluation map from ''X'' into its bidual (which is the strong dual of the strong dual of ''X'') is bijective. If this map is also an isomorphism of TVSs then it is called reflexive. Semi-reflexive spaces play an important role in the general theory of locally convex TVSs. Since a normable TVS is semi-reflexive if and only if it is reflexive, the concept of semi-reflexivity is primarily used with TVSs that are not normable. Definition and notation Brief definition Suppose that is a topological vector space (TVS) over the field \mathbb (which is either the real or complex numbers) whose continuous dual space, X^, separates points on (i.e. for any x \in X there exists some x^ \in X^ such that x^(x) \neq 0). Let X^_b and X^_ both denote the strong dual of , which is the vector space X^ of continuous linear func ... [...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] |

Hausdorff Space
In topology and related branches of mathematics, a Hausdorff space ( , ), separated space or T2 space is a topological space where, for any two distinct points, there exist neighbourhoods of each which are disjoint from each other. Of the many separation axioms that can be imposed on a topological space, the "Hausdorff condition" (T2) is the most frequently used and discussed. It implies the uniqueness of limits of sequences, nets, and filters. Hausdorff spaces are named after Felix Hausdorff, one of the founders of topology. Hausdorff's original definition of a topological space (in 1914) included the Hausdorff condition as an axiom. Definitions Points x and y in a topological space X can be '' separated by neighbourhoods'' if there exists a neighbourhood U of x and a neighbourhood V of y such that U and V are disjoint (U\cap V=\varnothing). X is a Hausdorff space if any two distinct points in X are separated by neighbourhoods. This condition is the third separation axiom ...
