Order convergence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, a filter in an order complete vector lattice is order convergent if it contains an order bounded subset (that is, a subset contained in an interval of the form ) and if where is the set of all order bounded subsets of X, in which case this common value is called the order limit of in [1]

Order convergence plays an important role in the theory of vector lattices because the definition of order convergence does not depend on any topology.

Definition

[edit]

A net in a vector lattice is said to decrease to if implies and in A net in a vector lattice is said to order-converge to if there is a net in that decreases to and satisfies for all .[2]

Order continuity

[edit]

A linear map between vector lattices is said to be order continuous if whenever is a net in that order-converges to in then the net order-converges to in is said to be sequentially order continuous if whenever is a sequence in that order-converges to in then the sequence order-converges to in [2]

[edit]

In an order complete vector lattice whose order is regular, is of minimal type if and only if every order convergent filter in converges when is endowed with the order topology.[1]
