Generalized compactness in linear spaces and its applications

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The class of subsets of locally convex spaces called mu-compact sets is considered. This class contains all compact sets as well as several noncompact sets widely used in applications. It is shown that many results well known for compact sets can be generalized to mu-compact sets. Several examples are considered. The main result of the paper is a generalization to mu-compact convex sets of the Vesterstrom-O'Brien theorem showing equivalence of the particular properties of a compact convex set (s.t. openness of the mixture map, openness of the barycenter map and of its restriction to maximal measures, continuity of a convex hull of any continuous function, continuity of a convex hull of any concave continuous function). It is shown that the Vesterstrom-O'Brien theorem does not hold for pointwise mu-compact convex sets defined by the slight relaxing of the mu-compactness condition. Applications of the obtained results to quantum information theory are considered.
