Von Neumann Boundedness #
This file defines natural or von Neumann bounded sets and proves elementary properties.
Main declarations #
Bornology.IsVonNBounded
: A sets
is von Neumann-bounded if every neighborhood of zero absorbss
.Bornology.vonNBornology
: The bornology made of the von Neumann-bounded sets.

: Given any sequenceฮต
of scalars which tends to๐[โ ] 0
, we have that a setS
is bounded if and only if for any sequencex : โ โ S
,ฮต โข x
tends to 0. This shows that bounded sets are completely determined by sequences, which is the key fact for proving that sequential continuity implies continuity for linear maps defined on a bornological space

A set s
is von Neumann bounded if every neighborhood of 0 absorbs s
.
Instances For
Subsets of bounded sets are bounded.
The union of two bounded sets is bounded.
If a topology t'
is coarser than t
, then any set s
that is bounded with respect to
t
is bounded with respect to t'
.
A continuous linear image of a bounded set is bounded.
Given any sequence ฮต
of scalars which tends to ๐[โ ] 0
, we have that a set S
is bounded
if and only if for any sequence x : โ โ S
, ฮต โข x
tends to 0. This actually works for any
indexing type ฮน
, but in the special case ฮน = โ
we get the important fact that convergent
sequences fully characterize bounded sets.
Singletons are bounded.
The union of all bounded set is the whole space.
The von Neumann bornology defined by the von Neumann bounded sets.
Note that this is not registered as an instance, in order to avoid diamonds with the metric bornology.

Instances For
In a normed space, the von Neumann bornology (Bornology.vonNBornology
) is equal to the
metric bornology.
