However, bounded and weakly closed sets are weakly compact so as a consequence every convex bounded closed set is weakly compact. As a consequence of the principle of uniform boundedness, every weakly convergent sequence is bounded. The norm is (sequentially) weakly lower-semicontinuous: if converges weakly to x, then
For (,) a measurable space, a sequence μ n is said to converge setwise to a limit μ if = ()for every set .. Typical arrow notations are and .. For example, as a consequence of the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma, the sequence μ n of measures on the interval [−1, 1] given by μ n (dx) = (1 + sin(nx))dx converges setwise to Lebesgue measure, but it does not converge in total variation.
The weak-operator and σ-weak topologies agree on norm-bounded sets in B(H). A net {T α} ⊂ B(H) converges to T in WOT if and only Tr(T α F) converges to Tr(TF) for all finite-rank operator F. Since every finite-rank operator is trace-class, this implies that WOT is weaker than the σ-weak topology.
In mathematics, weak convergence may refer to: Weak convergence of random variables of a probability distribution; Weak convergence of measures, of a sequence of probability measures; Weak convergence (Hilbert space) of a sequence in a Hilbert space more generally, convergence in weak topology in a Banach space or a topological vector space
In particular, a subset of the continuous dual is weak* compact if and only if it is weak* closed and norm-bounded. [1] This implies, in particular, that when X is an infinite-dimensional normed space then the closed unit ball at the origin in the dual space of X does not contain any weak* neighborhood of 0 (since any such neighborhood is norm ...
In measure theory Prokhorov's theorem relates tightness of measures to relative compactness (and hence weak convergence) in the space of probability measures. It is credited to the Soviet mathematician Yuri Vasilyevich Prokhorov, who considered probability measures on complete separable metric spaces. The term "Prokhorov’s theorem" is also ...
The first inequality (that is, ‖ ‖ < for all ) states that the functionals in are pointwise bounded while the second states that they are uniformly bounded. The second supremum always equals ‖ ‖ (,) = ‖ ‖, ‖ ‖ and if is not the trivial vector space (or if the supremum is taken over [,] rather than [,]) then closed unit ball can be replaced with the unit sphere
Convergence in the Radon metric implies weak convergence of measures: (,), but the converse implication is false in general. Convergence of measures in the Radon metric is sometimes known as strong convergence, as contrasted with weak convergence.
