SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the equivalence of a limited operator and continuity in the norm topology, specifically within the context of functional analysis. Participants highlight the importance of understanding bounded operators, which are crucial for grasping the concept of continuity in this mathematical framework. The conversation also touches on the notion of strongly continuous applications, emphasizing the need for a foundational study in analysis to fully comprehend these terms. References to external resources, such as the Wikipedia entry on bounded operators, provide additional context for learners.

Hi there! :)

I'm trying to understand a theorem, but it's full with analysis (or something) terms unfamiliar to me.

Is there an intuitive interpretation for the sentence: 'An operator being limited is equivalent to continuity in the topolgy of the norm'?

Also, how can I partially understand what is a "strongly continuous application"?

I understand that for a plain comprehension, one is required to follow a strict study on these subjects. But right now I'm happy with a simple intuition.

Edit: Is this the right place? I'm not sure analysis is the subject here!

Check out the Wikipedia entry on "bounded operator". It contains an easy proof.

I agree that it's hard to figure out where to put a post about functional analysis. Strangerep and I were just saying that in another thread.
 
Thanks Fredrik!
