A convergence vector space is a generalisation of a topological vector space where the topological structure is replaced by a convergence structure.
A convergence vector space is a vector space, say , together with the structure of a convergence space, say , which is compatible with the vector space structure in that both addition and scalar multiplication are jointly continuous.
Some authors may impose the condition that the convergence structure be separated. Any topological vector space defines a convergence vector space.
Convergence structures become particularly useful when considering evaluation mappings in functional analysis. For a locally convex topological vector space with continuous dual , the evaluation mapping is continuous with respect to the product topology if and only if is normable. This proves to be somewhat of a limitation when one works outside the category of normable LCTVS. However, there is a convergence structure on which makes the evaluation mapping continuous.
Let and be convergence vector spaces and . Let be the space of continuous mappings which are linear in each argument (see continuous multilinear operator). The continuous convergence structure on is the coarsest convergence structure which makes the evaluation map continuous.
We write for the resulting convergence space.
The convergence space is a convergence vector space. It satisfies the following universal property for a convergence space then a mapping is continuous if and only if the associated map is continuous.
