If(Z) COMPATIBLE SEMINORMS IN A VECTOR LATTICE* BY CASPER GOFFMAN UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA Communicated by S. Bochner, May 16, 1956 Let X be a vector space. A locally convex topology r in X is given by a system of seminorms pal A, for which XJ is a Hausdorff space. We suppose that there is an order relation w in X for which X<, is a vector lattice. We suppose, further, that the order dual, X,', which consists of all bounded linear forms on Xs, is a total subspace of the algebraic dual X' of X, i.e., for every x $ 0 there is a bounded f such that f(x) $ 0. In particular, this implies that X, is Archimedean. A seminorm p is compatible with w if x| > yI implies p(x) > p(y). A locally convex topology r is compatible with co if its seminorms may be chosen so as to be compatible with W. For general information see N. Bourbaki, Elements de mathcmatique.' Under the above assumptions, we observe that for every w there is a finest r compatible with w. In particular, we show that there is at most one Banach topology compatible with w, and, if it exists, it is the finest locally convex topology compatible with w. Thus, for various function spaces, the norm in use is seen to yield the only possible Banach space compatible with the natural order relation of the space. We first note that if p is a seminorm compatible with w, then the continuity semi- norm set of p is contained in X,'. For, if f(x) is a linear form on X such that, for some M, f(x) < Mp(x), for all x e X, then, for every y > 0, zJ . y implies p(z) < p(y), so that If(z)l ' Mp(Z) < Mp(y), which means that f(x) is bounded. We thus have the fact that if r is compatible with w, then X' c X<'. We next note that there is a finest convex topology r compatible with W, namely, the one given by all the compatible seminorms. We point out that for this topology XT= X,'. For, if f(x) e X,' is positive, the function p(x) = f(| xI) is a seminorm compatible with w for which f(x) is in the continuity seminorm set of p(x).. But every bounded linear form on X. is the difference of two positive linear forms. Hence, for the finest topology r compatible with w, we have XT' v X,', so that X,' = X<'. For a total subspace Y c X', we call the finest locally convex space X, for which XT' = Y a Mackey space, and summarize the above remarks in THEOREM 1. If T is compatible with X, then XT' c X,,'. If r is the finest convex topology compatible with w, then XT' = X<,'. If r is compatible with w, XT is a Mackey space, and XT' = X(,', then r is thefinest convex topology compatible with W. In applying this theorem to Banach spaces, we first prove LEMMA 1. If X, is a vector lattice and T: lIx|I is a compatible norm for which X, is a Banach space, then, if {IXn is a Cauchy sequence of increasing positive elements, x = lim Xn implies X _ Xn for every n. n X co Proof: Suppose that (Xn- x) + > 0 for some n. Then (x, - x) + > (x, - x) + for every p > n. But 536 Downloaded by guest on September 26, 2021 VOL. 42, 1956 MATHEMATICS: C. GOFFMAN 537- IxP- xl > (xP -X) so that iixP - xii| ll(Xn - X)+|l- Since II(xn - x+|I > 0, it follows that IxpI does not converge to x. THEOREM 2. If X., is a vector lattice and T: IIxII is a compatible norm for which X, is a Banach space, then it is the finest convex topology compatible with X,. Thus a vector lattice may be normed as a Banach lattice in at most one way. Proof: Since XT is a Mackey space and XT' c X.', we need only show that every positivef(x) on X., belongs to XT'. Suppose, then, that f(x) is not continuous but is positive. Then, for every n, there is an x for which lxIi _ 1 and If(x) _ n. Since, by compatibility, xiII = IIx!! and since (fix! ) =fAx +xjX f(x+ -x- = If(x)i, it follows that there is an x >O for which IIx!! 1 and If(x) _ n. Now let {Xn}[be a sequence of positive elements such that, for every n, iix-I _ 1 and If(xn)i _ 29". Let n = X1 + 1 X2 + Xn 2 22 1+2 Then {nyI is an increasing sequence of positive elements. It is a Cauchy sequence since 1 Yn+pI ~- yil =2= x+lXn+1 ++2n.+p+ Xn+Px 2+< for every n, p. Hence, if y = lim yn, then, by the lemma, y _ Yn, so that f(y) > f(yN) > - f(x.) _ 2n for every n, which is impossible. For all the spaces of real functions and sequences of analysis the order relation is the one for which the positive elements are those for which f(x) > 0 everywhere, or almost everywhere, as the case may be, or x_ > 0 for all n. As examples of Theorem 2, we mention only the two most important cases. COROLLARY 1. For the vector lattice of continuous functions on a compact set S the only compatible Banach space topology is given by If!! = max If(x)I. COROLLARY 2.

  • Multilinear Algebra
    Appendix A Multilinear Algebra This chapter presents concepts from multilinear algebra based on the basic properties of finite dimensional vector spaces and linear maps. The primary aim of the chapter is to give a concise introduction to alternating tensors which are necessary to define differential forms on manifolds. Many of the stated definitions and propositions can be found in Lee [1], Chaps. 11, 12 and 14. Some definitions and propositions are complemented by short and simple examples. First, in Sect. A.1 dual and bidual vector spaces are discussed. Subsequently, in Sects. A.2–A.4, tensors and alternating tensors together with operations such as the tensor and wedge product are introduced. Lastly, in Sect. A.5, the concepts which are necessary to introduce the wedge product are summarized in eight steps. A.1 The Dual Space Let V be a real vector space of finite dimension dim V = n.Let(e1,...,en) be a basis of V . Then every v ∈ V can be uniquely represented as a linear combination i v = v ei , (A.1) where summation convention over repeated indices is applied. The coefficients vi ∈ R arereferredtoascomponents of the vector v. Throughout the whole chapter, only finite dimensional real vector spaces, typically denoted by V , are treated. When not stated differently, summation convention is applied. Definition A.1 (Dual Space)Thedual space of V is the set of real-valued linear functionals ∗ V := {ω : V → R : ω linear} . (A.2) The elements of the dual space V ∗ are called linear forms on V . © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 123 S.R.

  • Calculus on a Normed Linear Space
    Calculus on a Normed Linear Space James S. Cook Liberty University Department of Mathematics Fall 2017 2 introduction and scope These notes are intended for someone who has completed the introductory calculus sequence and has some experience with matrices or linear algebra. This set of notes covers the first month or so of Math 332 at Liberty University. I intend this to serve as a supplement to our required text: First Steps in Differential Geometry: Riemannian, Contact, Symplectic by Andrew McInerney. Once we've covered these notes then we begin studying Chapter 3 of McInerney's text. This course is primarily concerned with abstractions of calculus and geometry which are accessible to the undergraduate. This is not a course in real analysis and it does not have a prerequisite of real analysis so my typical students are not prepared for topology or measure theory. We defer the topology of manifolds and exposition of abstract integration in the measure theoretic sense to another course. Our focus for course as a whole is on what you might call the linear algebra of abstract calculus. Indeed, McInerney essentially declares the same philosophy so his text is the natural extension of what I share in these notes. So, what do we study here? In these notes: How to generalize calculus to the context of a normed linear space In particular, we study: basic linear algebra, spanning, linear independennce, basis, coordinates, norms, distance functions, inner products, metric topology, limits and their laws in a NLS, conti- nuity of mappings on NLS's,

A locally convex space is a topological vector space in which there is a fundamental system of neighborhoods of 0 which are convex; these neighborhoods can always be supposed to be symmetric and absorbing. Key Words: LOCALLY CONVEX SPACES We shall be exclusively concerned with vector spaces over the real field: the passage to complex spaces offers no difficulty. We shall assume that the definition and properties of convex sets are known. A convex set A in a vector space E is symmetric if —A=A; then 0ЄA if A is not empty. A convex set A is absorbing if for every X≠0 in E), there exists a number α≠0 such that λxЄA for |λ| ≤ α ; this implies that A generates E. A locally convex space is a topological vector space in which there is a fundamental system of neighborhoods of 0 which are convex; these neighborhoods can always be supposed to be symmetric and absorbing. Conversely, if any filter base is given on a vector space E, and consists of convex, symmetric, and absorbing sets, then it defines one and only one topology on E for which x+y and λx are continuous functions of both their arguments.

  • Characterizations of the Reflexive Spaces in the Spirit of James' Theorem
    Characterizations of the reflexive spaces in the spirit of James' Theorem Mar¶³aD. Acosta, Julio Becerra Guerrero, and Manuel Ruiz Gal¶an Since the famous result by James appeared, several authors have given char- acterizations of reflexivity in terms of the set of norm-attaining functionals. Here, we o®er a survey of results along these lines. Section 1 contains a brief history of the classical results. In Section 2 we assume some topological properties on the size of the set of norm-attaining functionals in order to obtain reflexivity of the space or some weaker conditions. Finally, in Section 3, we consider other functions, such as polynomials or multilinear mappings instead of functionals, and state analogous versions of James' Theorem. Hereinafter, we will denote by BX and SX the closed unit ball and the unit sphere, respectively, of a Banach space X. The stated results are valid in the complex case. However, for the sake of simplicity, we will only consider real normed spaces. 1. James' Theorem In 1950 Klee proved that a Banach space X is reflexive provided that for every space isomorphic to X, each functional attains its norm [Kl]. James showed in 1957 that a separable Banach space allowing every functional to attain its norm has to be reflexive [Ja1]. This result was generalized to the non-separable case in [Ja2, Theorem 5]. After that, a general characterization of the bounded, closed and convex subsets of a Banach space that are weakly compact was obtained: Theorem 1.1. ([Ja3, Theorem 4]) In order that a bounded, closed and convex subset K of a Banach space be weakly compact, it su±ces that every functional attain its supremum on K: See also [Ja3, Theorem 6] for a version in locally convex spaces.

A linear finite-difference scheme for approximating Randers distances on Cartesian grids J. Frédéric Bonnans,∗ Guillaume Bonnet,† Jean-Marie Mirebeau‡ June 9, 2021 Abstract Randers distances are an asymmetric generalization of Riemannian distances, and arise in optimal control problems subject to a drift term, among other applications. We show that Randers eikonal equation can be approximated by a logarithmic transformation of an anisotropic second order linear equation, generalizing Varadhan’s formula for Riemannian manifolds. Based on this observation, we establish the convergence of a numerical method for computing Randers distances, from point sources or from a domain’s boundary, on Cartesian grids of dimension 2 and 3, which is consistent at order 2=3, and uses tools from low- dimensional algorithmic geometry for best efficiency.

  • Intersections of Fréchet Spaces and (LB)–Spaces
    Intersections of Fr¶echet spaces and (LB){spaces Angela A. Albanese and Jos¶eBonet Abstract This article presents results about the class of locally convex spaces which are de¯ned as the intersection E \F of a Fr¶echet space F and a countable inductive limit of Banach spaces E. This class appears naturally in analytic applications to linear partial di®erential operators. The intersection has two natural topologies, the intersection topology and an inductive limit topology. The ¯rst one is easier to describe and the second one has good locally convex properties. The coincidence of these topologies and its consequences for the spaces E \ F and E + F are investigated. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi¯cation. Primary: 46A04, secondary: 46A08, 46A13, 46A45. The aim of this paper is to investigate spaces E \ F which are the intersection of a Fr¶echet space F and an (LB)-space E. They appear in several parts of analysis whenever the space F is determined by countably many necessary (e.g. di®erentiability of integrabil- ity) conditions and E is the dual of such a space, in particular E is de¯ned by a countable sequence of bounded sets which may also be determined by concrete estimates. Two nat- ural topologies can be de¯ned on E \ F : the intersection topology, which has seminorms easy to describe and which permits direct estimates, and a ¯ner inductive limit topology which is de¯ned in a natural way and which has good locally convex properties, e.g. E \ F with this topology is a barrelled space.

INTRODUCTION Barrelled spaces have occupied an important place in the theory of locally convex spaces since its earliest days. This is probably due to the fact that they provide a vehicle for generalizing certain important properties of Banach spaces; for example, they form the class of domain spaces for a natural generalization of Banach's closed graph theorem and, in their dual characterization, they embody the conclusion of the BanachSteinhaus theorem for continuous linear functionals.

The main object of this paper is to answer some problems posed by Dieudonné in his paper Denumerability conditions in locally convex vector spaces [l]. His two main results are as follows: Proposition 1. If Eis a barrelled space on which there is a countable fundamental system of convex compact subsets, [Definition 1.2] then it is the strong dual of a Fréchet-Montel Space. Proposition 2. If E is either bornological or barrelled, and if there is a countable fundamental system of compact subsets, then E is dense in the strong dual of a Fréchet-Montel Space. Two questions raised by Dieudonné in connection with these results are: (a) If E is either bornological or barrelled then it is certainly quasi- barrelled [l, Chapter 3, §2, Example 12]. Can one substitute this weaker condition on E in Proposition 2? (b) Is there is an example of a quasi-barrelled space which is neither barrelled nor bornological? We shall show that the answer to (a) is "Yes," and that the answer to (b) is also "Yes," so that the generalization is in fact a real one.

  • Approximation Numbers of Linear Operators and Nuclear Spaces HA
    JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS 46, 292-311 (1974) Approximation Numbers of Linear Operators and Nuclear Spaces CHUNG-WEI HA* University qf California, Santa Barbara, California 93106 Submitted by Ky Fan 1. DEFINITIONS AND NOTATIONS Let T be a compact operator on a Hilbert space H. It is well-known that (T*T)1/2 is a nonnegative compact operator on H, and its spectrum consists of a countable number of eigenvalues, which are all nonnegative, with 0 the only possible accumulation point of the spectrum. The singular numbers of T are defined to be the eigenvalues of (T*T)lj2, each of which is counted as many times as its multiplicity. The singular numbers {s~(T)}~~,, of T are enumerated in decreasing order and, for the sake of simplicity, O’s are supplied to the sequence if the operator (T*T)l/* has only a finite number of eigenvalues. The singular numbers play a significant role in the Theory of Operators [l, 31. The present work is an attempt to generalize the notion of singular numbers for compact operators on a Hilbert space to bounded linear operators between normed linear spaces. There are a number of equivalent formulations for singular numbers that do not involve the inner product, and so they are readily applicable to bounded linear operators between normed linear spaces. Before stating them, we first introduce some notations and definitions in the general setting of normed linear spaces. Let E and F be two real or complex normed linear spaces and let L(E, F) denote the normed linear space of all bounded linear operators of E into F with the usual supremum norm.
