A linear operator : between two topological vector spaces (TVSs) is called a bounded linear operator or just bounded if whenever is bounded in then () is bounded in . A subset of a TVS is called bounded (or more precisely, von Neumann bounded) if every neighborhood of the origin absorbs it.
In its basic form, it asserts that for a family of continuous linear operators (and thus bounded operators) whose domain is a Banach space, pointwise boundedness is equivalent to uniform boundedness in operator norm. The theorem was first published in 1927 by Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus, but it was also proven independently by Hans Hahn.
Operators on these spaces are known as sequence transformations. Bounded linear operators over a Banach space form a Banach algebra in respect to the standard operator norm. The theory of Banach algebras develops a very general concept of spectra that elegantly generalizes the theory of eigenspaces.
On norm bounded sets of B(H), the weak (operator) and ultraweak topologies coincide. This can be seen via, for instance, the Banach–Alaoglu theorem. For essentially the same reason, the ultrastrong topology is the same as the strong topology on any (norm) bounded subset of B(H).
Thus a unitary operator is a bounded linear operator that is both an isometry and a coisometry, [1] or, equivalently, a surjective isometry. [2] An equivalent definition is the following: Definition 2. A unitary operator is a bounded linear operator U : H → H on a Hilbert space H for which the following hold: U is surjective, and
A locally bounded TVS is a TVS that possesses a bounded neighborhood of the origin. By Kolmogorov's normability criterion , this is true of a locally convex space if and only if the topology of the TVS is induced by some seminorm .

An important class of examples is provided by Hilbert–Schmidt integral operators. Every bounded operator with a finite-dimensional range (these are called operators of finite rank) is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator. The identity operator on a Hilbert space is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator if and only if the Hilbert space is finite-dimensional.
