In mathematics, the closed graph theorem may refer to one of several basic results characterizing continuous functions in terms of their graphs.
Each gives conditions when functions with closed graphs are necessarily continuous.
Closed graph
If is a map between topological spaces then the graph of is the set or equivalently,
It is said that the graph of is closed if is a closed subset of (with the product topology).
Any continuous function into a Hausdorff space has a closed graph.
Any linear map, between two topological vector spaces whose topologies are (Cauchy) complete with respect to translation invariant metrics, and if in addition (1a) is sequentially continuous in the sense of the product topology, then the map is continuous and its graph, Gr L, is necessarily closed. Conversely, if is such a linear map with, in place of (1a), the graph of is (1b) known to be closed in the Cartesian product space , then is continuous and therefore necessarily sequentially continuous.
If is any space then the identity map is continuous but its graph, which is the diagonal , is closed in if and only if is Hausdorff. In particular, if is not Hausdorff then is continuous but does have a closed graph.
Let denote the real numbers with the usual Euclidean topology and let denote with the indiscrete topology (where note that is Hausdorff and that every function valued in is continuous). Let be defined by and for all . Then is continuous but its graph is closed in .
In point-set topology, the closed graph theorem states the following:
Non-Hausdorff spaces are rarely seen, but non-compact spaces are common. An example of non-compact is the real line, which allows the discontinuous function with closed graph .
Closed graph theorem (functional analysis)
If is a linear operator between topological vector spaces (TVSs) then we say that is a closed operator if the graph of is closed in when is endowed with the product topology.
The closed graph theorem is an important result in functional analysis that guarantees that a closed linear operator is continuous under certain conditions.

In functional analysis, the open mapping theorem, also known as the Banach–Schauder theorem or the Banach theorem (named after Stefan Banach and Juliusz Schauder), is a fundamental result which states that if a bounded or continuous linear operator between Banach spaces is surjective then it is an open map. This proof uses the , and completeness of both and is essential to the theorem. The statement of the theorem is no longer true if either space is just assumed to be a normed space, but is true if and are taken to be Fréchet spaces.
In mathematics, Hilbert spaces (named after David Hilbert) allow the methods of linear algebra and calculus to be generalized from (finite-dimensional) Euclidean vector spaces to spaces that may be infinite-dimensional. Hilbert spaces arise naturally and frequently in mathematics and physics, typically as function spaces. Formally, a Hilbert space is a vector space equipped with an inner product that induces a distance function for which the space is a complete metric space.
In functional analysis, an F-space is a vector space over the real or complex numbers together with a metric such that Scalar multiplication in is continuous with respect to and the standard metric on or Addition in is continuous with respect to The metric is translation-invariant; that is, for all The metric space is complete. The operation is called an F-norm, although in general an F-norm is not required to be homogeneous. By translation-invariance, the metric is recoverable from the F-norm.
Social learning algorithms provide models for the formation of opinions over social networks resulting from local reasoning and peer-to-peer exchanges. Interactions occur over an underlying graph topology, which describes the flow of information among the ...
This letter proposes the application of a hybrid numerical technique to two cases of interest in the space business: the reallocation of radiators and scatters on satellite platforms; and the analysis of antennas for mobile communications. It is based on t ...
