Remarks on topological properties of Boehmians (Q2566520)

The Boehmian spaces are generalisations of Schwartz distribution spaces using algebraic operations. Several Boehmian spaces have been constructed and their properties investigated in the literature. Further several integral transforms have been defined and their properties studied on different Boehmian spaces. In this paper, the authors investigate the topological structure of these spaces. In particular, three types of Boehmian spaces are considered, using the concepts of \(\delta\)-convergence and \(\Delta\)-convergence. The authors show that the space of integrable Boehmians does not have non-trivial continuous linear functionals and hence is not locally convex. The space of periodic Boehmians is shown to contain enough bounded linear functionals to separate points but is still not locally convex. However, the space of ``rapidly decreasing'' Boehmians is shown to be a locally convex topological vector space.
