order bound dual

{{Short description|Mathematical concept}}

In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, the order bound dual of an ordered vector space X is the set of all linear functionals on X that map order intervals, which are sets of the form [a, b] := \{ x \in X : a \leq x \text{ and } x \leq b \}, to bounded sets.{{sfn|Schaefer|Wolff|1999|pp=204–214}}

The order bound dual of X is denoted by X^{\operatorname{b}}. This space plays an important role in the theory of ordered topological vector spaces.

Canonical ordering

An element g of the order bound dual of X is called positive if x \geq 0 implies \operatorname{Re}(f(x)) \geq 0.

The positive elements of the order bound dual form a cone that induces an ordering on X^{\operatorname{b}} called the {{visible anchor|canonical ordering}}.

If X is an ordered vector space whose positive cone C is generating (meaning X = C - C) then the order bound dual with the canonical ordering is an ordered vector space.{{sfn|Schaefer|Wolff|1999|pp=204–214}}

Properties

The order bound dual of an ordered vector spaces contains its order dual.{{sfn|Schaefer|Wolff|1999|pp=204–214}}

If the positive cone of an ordered vector space X is generating and if for all positive x and x we have [0, x] + [0, y] = [0, x + y], then the order dual is equal to the order bound dual, which is an order complete vector lattice under its canonical ordering.{{sfn|Schaefer|Wolff|1999|pp=204–214}}

Suppose X is a vector lattice and f and g are order bounded linear forms on X.

Then for all x \in X,{{sfn|Schaefer|Wolff|1999|pp=204–214}}

  1. \sup(f, g)(|x|) = \sup \{ f(y) + g(z) : y \geq 0, z \geq 0, \text{ and } y + z = |x| \}
  2. \inf(f, g)(|x|) = \inf \{ f(y) + g(z) : y \geq 0, z \geq 0, \text{ and } y + z = |x| \}
  3. |f|(|x|) = \sup \{ f(y - z) : y \geq 0, z \geq 0, \text{ and } y + z = |x| \}
  4. |f(x)| \leq |f|(|x|)
  5. if f \geq 0 and g \geq 0 then f and g are lattice disjoint if and only if for each x \geq 0 and real r > 0, there exists a decomposition x = a + b with a \geq 0, b \geq 0, \text{ and } f(a) + g(b) \leq r.
