ordered topological vector space


Let k be either or considered as a field. An ordered topological vector space L, (ordered t.v.s for short) is

The last statement can be interpreted as follows: if a sequence of non-negative elements xi of L converges to an element x, then x is non-negative.

Remark. Let L,M be two ordered t.v.s., and f:LM a linear transformation that is monotone. Then if 0xL, 0f(x)M also. Therefore f(L+)M+. Conversely, a linear map that is invariantMathworldPlanetmath under positive cones is monotone.
