Abstract

By the term “locally convex space”, we mean a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector space (see [17]). We shall denote the algebraic dual of a locally convex space E by E*, and its topological dual by E′. It is convenient to think of the elements of E as being linear functionals on E′, so that E can be identified with a subspace of E′*. The adjoint of a continuous linear map T:E→F will be denoted by T′:F′→E′. If 〈E, F〈 is a dual pair of vector spaces, then we shall denote the corresponding weak, strong and Mackey topologies on E by α(E, F), β(E, F) and μ(E, F) respectively.
