If A and B are locally convex topological vector spaces, and B has certain additional structure, then the space L(A, B) of all continuous linear mappings of A into B is characterized, within isomorphism, as the inductive limit of a family of spaces, whose elements are functions, or measures. The isomorphism is topological if L(A, B) is given a particular topology, defined in terms of the seminorms which define the topologies of A and B. The additional structure on B enables L(A, B) to be constructed, using the duals of the normed spaces obtained by giving A the topology of each of its seminorms separately.
