Abstract

Locally convex spaces which are generated by a weakly compact subset (or a sequence of weakly compact subsets) and their subspaces are studied. Various characterizations and the permanence properties of these spaces are obtained. Certain results valid for weakly compactly generated Banach spaces are extended. These spaces are shown to have sequential properties which extend well-known properties of separable locally convex spaces.
