Continuous linear operatorIn 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.
Direct sumThe direct sum is an operation between structures in abstract algebra, a branch of mathematics. It is defined differently, but analogously, for different kinds of structures. To see how the direct sum is used in abstract algebra, consider a more elementary kind of structure, the abelian group. The direct sum of two abelian groups and is another abelian group consisting of the ordered pairs where and . To add ordered pairs, we define the sum to be ; in other words addition is defined coordinate-wise.
Espace vectoriel quotientEn algèbre linéaire, l'espace vectoriel quotient E/F d'un espace vectoriel E par un sous-espace vectoriel F est la structure naturelle d'espace vectoriel sur l'ensemble quotient de E par la relation d'équivalence définie de la manière suivante : v est en relation avec w si et seulement si v – w appartient à F. C'est donc l'ensemble des classes [v] = v + F, où v parcourt E, muni des lois suivantes : somme vectorielle : [v] + [w] = [v + w] ; multiplication par un scalaire : λ [v] = [λ v].
Complete topological vector spaceIn 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.
