Uniform boundedness principle for unbounded operators (Q2921640)

This paper deals with the uniform boundedness principle for unbounded operators and its consequences. The uniform boundedness principle is formulated as follows:NEWLINENEWLINETheorem. Let \(X\) be a complete metrizable topological vector space, \(Y\) be a vector space and \(p\) be an \(\alpha \)-seminorm on \(Y\) with \(\alpha \in (0,1\rangle \). If \((T_i)_{i\in I}\) is a family of linear mappings from \(X\) into \(Y\) such that \(\bigl \{p(T_i x)\: i\in I\bigr \}\) is bounded for each \(x\in X\), then there exist an \(\alpha \)-seminorm balanced open neighbourhood \(U\) of \(0\) in \(X\) and a dense subset \(A\) of \(U\) such that \(\bigl \{p(T_i x)\: i\in I, x\in A\bigr \}\) is bounded and \(\{ax\: x\in A, a\)\,\,\text {is a scalar}\} is a dense linear subset of \(X\).NEWLINENEWLINESeveral results are then derived as consequences of this principle: a general form of the Hellinger-Toeplitz theorem, the closed graph theorem and the ounded inverse theorem for families of linear mappings.
