locally convex topological vector space


Definition Let V be a topological vector spaceMathworldPlanetmath over a subfieldMathworldPlanetmath of the complex numbersMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath (usually taken to be or ). If the topology of V has a basis where each member is a convex set, then V is a locally convex topological vector space [1].

Though most vector spaces occurring in practice are locally convex, the spaces Lp for 0<p<1 are examples of spaces which are not locally convex.
