In functional analysis, a topological vector space (TVS) is said to be quasi-complete or boundedly complete[1] if every closed and bounded subset is complete.[2] This concept is of considerable importance for non-metrizable TVSs.[2]
Properties
edit- Every quasi-complete TVS is sequentially complete.[2]
- In a quasi-complete locally convex space, the closure of the convex hull of a compact subset is again compact.[3]
- In a quasi-complete Hausdorff TVS, every precompact subset is relatively compact.[2]
- If X is a normed space and Y is a quasi-complete locally convex TVS then the set of all compact linear maps of X into Y is a closed vector subspace of .[4]
- Every quasi-complete infrabarrelled space is barreled.[5]
- If X is a quasi-complete locally convex space then every weakly bounded subset of the continuous dual space is strongly bounded.[5]
- A quasi-complete nuclear space then X has the Heine–Borel property.[6]
Examples and sufficient conditions
editEvery complete TVS is quasi-complete.[7] The product of any collection of quasi-complete spaces is again quasi-complete.[2] The projective limit of any collection of quasi-complete spaces is again quasi-complete.[8] Every semi-reflexive space is quasi-complete.[9]
The quotient of a quasi-complete space by a closed vector subspace may fail to be quasi-complete.
