Here denotes the continuous dual of and means that there is a linear isomorphism

(If a locally convex topology on is not a dual topology, then either is not surjective or it is ill-defined since the linear functional is not continuous on for some .)

Famous quotes containing the word definition:

    I’m beginning to think that the proper definition of “Man” is “an animal that writes letters.”

    ... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
