A generalization of the Banach-Steinhaus theorem for finite part limits (Q523234): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be a Fréchet space with the dual space \(X'\) and let \(\{y_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) be a sequence in~\(X'\). If for each \(x\in X\) the finite part of the limit \(Y(x)=\text{F.p.}\,\lim_{n\to\infty}\langle y_n,x\rangle\) exists, in the sense of \textit{R. Estrada} and \textit{R. P. Kanwal} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 141, No. 1, 195--207 (1989; Zbl 0683.46033)], the authors prove that the functional \(Y\) is continuous. This result is shown to be also valid in some other classes of topological vector spaces, such as \(LF\)-spaces, \(DFS\)-spaces and \(DFS^*\)-spaces. Some examples are given where it does not hold.
