Dual systemIn mathematics, a dual system, dual pair, or duality over a field is a triple consisting of two vector spaces and over and a non-degenerate bilinear map . Duality theory, the study of dual systems, is part of functional analysis. It is separate and distinct to Dual-system Theory in psychology. Pairings A or pair over a field is a triple which may also be denoted by consisting of two vector spaces and over (which this article assumes is the field either of real numbers or the complex numbers ).
Bornological spaceIn 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.
Strong dual spaceIn functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, the strong dual space of a topological vector space (TVS) is the continuous dual space of equipped with the strong (dual) topology or the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of where this topology is denoted by or 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.
Polar topologyIn functional analysis and related areas of mathematics a polar topology, topology of -convergence or topology of uniform convergence on the sets of is a method to define locally convex topologies on the vector spaces of a pairing.
Metrizable topological vector spaceIn 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.
Topologies on spaces of linear mapsIn mathematics, particularly functional analysis, spaces of linear maps between two vector spaces can be endowed with a variety of topologies. Studying space of linear maps and these topologies can give insight into the spaces themselves. The article operator topologies discusses topologies on spaces of linear maps between normed spaces, whereas this article discusses topologies on such spaces in the more general setting of topological vector spaces (TVSs).
Comparaison de topologiesEn mathématiques, l'ensemble de toutes les topologies possibles sur un ensemble donné possède une structure d'ensemble partiellement ordonné. Cette relation d'ordre permet de comparer les différentes topologies. Soient τ1 et τ2 deux topologies sur un ensemble X. On dit que τ2 est plus fine que τ1 (ou bien que τ1 est moins fine que τ2) et on note τ ⊆ τ si l'application identité idX : (X, τ2) → (X, τ1) est continue. Si de plus τ ≠ τ, on dit que τ2 est strictement plus fine que τ1 (ou bien que τ1 est strictement moins fine que τ2).
Topologie faibleEn mathématiques, la topologie faible d'un espace vectoriel topologique E est une topologie définie sur E au moyen de son dual topologique E'. On définit également sur E' une topologie dite faible-* au moyen de E. Dans tout cet article, sauf mention contraire, on notera pour et forme linéaire sur . Soient E un espace vectoriel normé (réel ou complexe), ou plus généralement un espace vectoriel topologique et E' son dual topologique, c’est-à-dire l'ensemble des formes linéaires continues sur E.
