Semi-reflexive spaceIn the area of mathematics known as functional analysis, a semi-reflexive space is a locally convex topological vector space (TVS) X such that the canonical evaluation map from X into its bidual (which is the strong dual of the strong dual of X) is bijective. If this map is also an isomorphism of TVSs then it is called reflexive. Semi-reflexive spaces play an important role in the general theory of locally convex TVSs. Since a normable TVS is semi-reflexive if and only if it is reflexive, the concept of semi-reflexivity is primarily used with TVSs that are not normable.
Countably barrelled spaceIn functional analysis, a topological vector space (TVS) is said to be countably barrelled if every weakly bounded countable union of equicontinuous subsets of its continuous dual space is again equicontinuous. This property is a generalization of barrelled spaces. A TVS X with continuous dual space is said to be countably barrelled if is a weak-* bounded subset of that is equal to a countable union of equicontinuous subsets of , then is itself equicontinuous.
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.
Spaces of test functions and distributionsIn mathematical analysis, the spaces of test functions and distributions are topological vector spaces (TVSs) that are used in the definition and application of distributions. Test functions are usually infinitely differentiable complex-valued (or sometimes real-valued) functions on a non-empty open subset that have compact support. The space of all test functions, denoted by is endowed with a certain topology, called the , that makes into a complete Hausdorff locally convex TVS.
Quasibarrelled spaceIn functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, quasibarrelled spaces are topological vector spaces (TVS) for which every bornivorous barrelled set in the space is a neighbourhood of the origin. Quasibarrelled spaces are studied because they are a weakening of the defining condition of barrelled spaces, for which a form of the Banach–Steinhaus theorem holds. A subset of a topological vector space (TVS) is called bornivorous if it absorbs all bounded subsets of ; that is, if for each bounded subset of there exists some scalar such that A barrelled set or a barrel in a TVS is a set which is convex, balanced, absorbing and closed.
Espace de MontelEn topologie des espaces vectoriels, on appelle espace de Montel un espace vectoriel topologique localement convexe séparé, tonnelé et dont tout fermé borné est compact. Le nom provient du mathématicien Paul Montel. Tout espace de Montel est réflexif et quasi complet. Son dual fort est un espace de Montel. Le quotient d'un espace de Fréchet-Montel par un sous-espace fermé peut n'être pas réflexif, et a fortiori ne pas être un espace de Montel (en revanche, le quotient d'un espace de Fréchet-Schwartz par un sous-espace fermé est un espace de Fréchet-Montel).
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.
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 ».
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 .
