In mathematics, particularly infunctional analysis andconvex analysis, theUrsescu theorem is a theorem that generalizes theclosed graph theorem, theopen mapping theorem, and theuniform boundedness principle.
The following notation and notions are used, where is aset-valued function and is a non-empty subset of atopological vector space:
Theorem[1] (Ursescu)—Let be acompletesemi-metrizablelocally convextopological vector space and be aclosedconvex multifunction with non-empty domain. Assume that is abarrelled space for some/every Assume that and let (so that). Then for every neighborhood of in belongs to the relative interior of in (that is,). In particular, if then
Closed graph theorem—Let and beFréchet spaces and be a linear map. Then is continuous if and only if the graph of is closed in
For the non-trivial direction, assume that the graph of is closed and let It is easy to see that is closed and convex and that its image is Given belongs to so that for every open neighborhood of in is a neighborhood of in Thus is continuous atQ.E.D.
Uniform boundedness principle—Let and beFréchet spaces and be a bijective linear map. Then is continuous if and only if is continuous. Furthermore, if is continuous then is an isomorphism ofFréchet spaces.
Apply the closed graph theorem to and Q.E.D.
Open mapping theorem—Let and beFréchet spaces and be a continuous surjective linear map. Then T is anopen map.
Clearly, is a closed and convex relation whose image is Let be a non-empty open subset of let be in and let in be such that From the Ursescu theorem it follows that is a neighborhood of Q.E.D.
The following notation and notions are used for these corollaries, where is a set-valued function, is a non-empty subset of atopological vector space:
Corollary—Let be a barreledfirst countable space and let be a subset of Then:
Simons' theorem[2]—Let and befirst countable with locally convex. Suppose that is a multimap with non-empty domain that satisfiescondition (Hwx) or else assume that is aFréchet space and that islower ideally convex. Assume that isbarreled for some/every Assume that and let Then for every neighborhood of in belongs to the relative interior of in (i.e.). In particular, if then
The implication (1) (2) in the following theorem is known as the Robinson–Ursescu theorem.[3]
Robinson–Ursescu theorem[3]—Let and benormed spaces and be a multimap with non-empty domain. Suppose that is abarreled space, the graph of verifies conditioncondition (Hwx), and that Let (resp.) denote the closed unit ball in (resp.) (so). Then the following are equivalent:
