Extract

Suppose that X is any vector space on which it is possible to recognize a class of sets of such a nature that it is natural to call them ‘bounded’. (Precise conditions for such a class of sets are given in § 2.) Let L be any vector space of linear functionals on X which map each ‘bounded’ set into a bounded set. We say that a filter is boundedly-weakly convergent if it is convergent in the weak topology of the linear system [X, L] and contains a ‘bounded’ set. If M is a vector space of boundedly-weakly continuous linear functionals on X which includes L, we say that a subset S of M is limited if 〈 , f〉 converges uniformly for f ε S whenever is a boundedly-weakly convergent filter.
