Functional analysis Definition
Banach lattice
Builds on Banach spacePartial order
Definition
Let be a real Banach space with norm , and let be a partial order on . The pair is a Banach lattice if the following hold.
- If , then for all .
- If and is real, then .
- Every two elements have a least upper bound in .
- If , then , where .
Remarks
Clauses 1 to 3 say that is a Riesz space, and clause 4 says that the norm is a lattice norm.
Example: for a compact Hausdorff space , with when for all . Clauses 1 and 2 are clear, and is the pointwise maximum, which is continuous. Then is the pointwise absolute value, and gives .
Non-example: with the coordinatewise order and the norm . Clauses 1 to 3 hold, and this is a norm. For and , one has , but , so clause 4 fails.
