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 borné, the French word for "bounded". Bornology A on a set is a collection of subsets of that satisfy all the following conditions: covers that is, ; is stable under inclusions; that is, if and then ; is stable under finite unions; that is, if then ; Elements of the collection are called or simply if is understood. The pair is called a or a . A or of a bornology is a subset of such that each element of is a subset of some element of Given a collection of subsets of the smallest bornology containing is called the If and are bornological sets then their on is the bornology having as a base the collection of all sets of the form where and A subset of is bounded in the product bornology if and only if its image under the canonical projections onto and are both bounded. If and are bornological sets then a function is said to be a or a (with respect to these bornologies) if it maps -bounded subsets of to -bounded subsets of that is, if If in addition is a bijection and is also bounded then is called a . Vector bornology Let be a vector space over a field where has a bornology A bornology on is called a if it is stable under vector addition, scalar multiplication, and the formation of balanced hulls (i.e. if the sum of two bounded sets is bounded, etc.).

We introduce locally convex vector spaces. As an example we treat the space of test functions and the space of distributions. In the second part of the course, we discuss differential calculus in Bana

The course studies fundamental concepts of analysis and the calculus of functions of several variables.

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a continuous linear operator or continuous linear mapping is a continuous linear transformation between topological vector spaces. An operator between two normed spaces is a bounded linear operator if and only if it is a continuous linear operator. Continuous function (topology) and Discontinuous linear map Bounded operator Suppose that is a linear operator between two topological vector spaces (TVSs). The following are equivalent: is continuous.

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a metrizable (resp. pseudometrizable) topological vector space (TVS) is a TVS whose topology is induced by a metric (resp. pseudometric). An LM-space is an inductive limit of a sequence of locally convex metrizable TVS.

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 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 towards which they all get closer" means that this Cauchy net or filter converges to The notion of completeness for TVSs uses the theory of uniform spaces as a framework to generalize the notion of completeness for metric spaces.
