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 ).
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.
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.
Mackey topologyIn functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, the Mackey topology, named after George Mackey, is the finest topology for a topological vector space which still preserves the continuous dual. In other words the Mackey topology does not make linear functions continuous which were discontinuous in the default topology. A topological vector space (TVS) is called a Mackey space if its topology is the same as the Mackey topology.
Ensemble polaireEn analyse fonctionnelle et en analyse convexe, le polaire d'une partie d'un espace localement convexe est un convexe fermé de son dual topologique, contenant l'origine et ayant une « relation de dualité » avec . Bien qu'il soit usuellement défini dans le cadre bien plus général de deux espaces en dualité, nous nous limiterons dans cet article au cas d'un espace euclidien, qui s'identifie à son dual.
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.
Espace tonneléEn analyse fonctionnelle et dans les domaines proches des mathématiques, les espaces tonnelés sont des espaces vectoriels topologiques où tout ensemble tonnelé - ou tonneau - de l'espace est un voisinage du vecteur nul. La raison principale de leur importance est qu'ils sont exactement ceux pour lesquels le théorème de Banach-Steinhaus s'applique. Nicolas Bourbaki a inventé des termes tels que « tonneau » ou espace « tonnelé » (à partir des tonneaux de vin) ainsi que les espaces « bornologiques ».
Quasi-complete spaceIn 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. 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.
Espace réflexifEn analyse fonctionnelle, un espace vectoriel normé est dit réflexif si l'injection naturelle dans son bidual topologique est surjective. Les espaces réflexifs possèdent d'intéressantes propriétés géométriques. Soit un espace vectoriel normé, sur ou . On note son dual topologique, c'est-à-dire l'espace (de Banach) des formes linéaires continues de dans le corps de base. On peut alors former le bidual topologique , qui est le dual topologique de . Il existe une application linéaire continue naturelle définie par pour tout dans et dans .
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.
