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 ...

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, norm, topology, etc.) and the 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 spaces of functions and the formulation of properties of transformations of functions such as the Fourier transform as transformations defining continuous, unitary etc. operators between function spaces. This point of view turned out to be particularly useful for the study of differential and integral equations. The usage of the word '' functional'' as a noun goes back to the calculus of variations, implying a function whose argument is a function. The term was first used in Hadamard's 1910 book on that subject. However, the general concept of a functional had previously been introduced in 1887 by the I ...

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 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; t ...

Quasi-complete
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 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 v ...

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 compl ...

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 number ...

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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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] |
DF-space
In the field of functional analysis, DF-spaces, also written (''DF'')-spaces are locally convex topological vector space having a property that is shared by locally convex metrizable topological vector spaces. They play a considerable part in the theory of topological tensor products. DF-spaces were first defined by Alexander Grothendieck and studied in detail by him in . Grothendieck was led to introduce these spaces by the following property of strong duals of metrizable spaces: If X is a metrizable locally convex space and V_1, V_2, \ldots is a sequence of convex 0-neighborhoods in X^_b such that V := \cap_ V_i absorbs every strongly bounded set, then V is a 0-neighborhood in X^_b (where X^_b is the continuous dual space of X endowed with the strong dual topology). Definition A locally convex topological vector space (TVS) X is a DF-space, also written (''DF'')-space, if # X is a countably quasi-barrelled space (i.e. every strongly bounded countable union of equicontinu ...

Nuclear Space
In mathematics, nuclear spaces are topological vector spaces that can be viewed as a generalization of finite dimensional Euclidean spaces and share many of their desirable properties. Nuclear spaces are however quite different from Hilbert spaces, another generalization of finite dimensional Euclidean spaces. They were introduced by Alexander Grothendieck. The topology on nuclear spaces can be defined by a family of seminorms whose unit balls decrease rapidly in size. Vector spaces whose elements are "smooth" in some sense tend to be nuclear spaces; a typical example of a nuclear space is the set of smooth functions on a compact manifold. All finite-dimensional vector spaces are nuclear. There are no Banach spaces that are nuclear, except for the finite-dimensional ones. In practice a sort of converse to this is often true: if a "naturally occurring" topological vector space is a Banach space, then there is a good chance that it is nuclear.

Inductive Limit
In mathematics, a direct limit is a way to construct a (typically large) object from many (typically smaller) objects that are put together in a specific way. These objects may be groups, rings, vector spaces or in general objects from any category. The way they are put together is specified by a system of homomorphisms (group homomorphism, ring homomorphism, or in general morphisms in the category) between those smaller objects. The direct limit of the objects A_i, where i ranges over some directed set I, is denoted by \varinjlim A_i . (This is a slight abuse of notation as it suppresses the system of homomorphisms that is crucial for the structure of the limit.) Direct limits are a special case of the concept of colimit in category theory. Direct limits are dual to inverse limits, which are also a special case of limits in category theory. Formal definition We will first give the definition for algebraic structures like groups and modules, and then the general definition, ...

Bornological Space
In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis, a bornological space is a type of space which, in some sense, possesses the minimum amount of structure needed to address questions of boundedness of sets and linear maps, in the same way that a topological space possesses the minimum amount of structure needed to address questions of continuity. Bornological spaces are distinguished by the property that a linear map from a bornological space into any locally convex spaces is continuous if and only if it is a bounded linear operator. Bornological spaces were first studied by George Mackey. The name was coined by Bourbaki after , the French word for " bounded". Bornologies and bounded maps A on a set X is a collection \mathcal of subsets of X that satisfy all the following conditions: \mathcal covers X; that is, X = \cup \mathcal; \mathcal is stable under inclusions; that is, if B \in \mathcal and A \subseteq B, then A \in \mathcal; \mathcal is stable under finite unions; ...
