Normed vector spaces

Abbreviation: NFVec

Definition

A normed vector space is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle V,+,-,\mathbf 0,s_r(r\in F),||\cdot||\rangle$ over an ordered field $\mathbf F=\langle F,+,-,0,\cdot,1,\le\rangle$ such that

$\langle V,+,-,0,s_r(r\in F)\rangle$ is a vector space over $\mathbf F$

$||\cdot||:V\to [0,\infty)$ is a norm: $||x||=0\iff x=\mathbf 0$

$||rx||=|r|\cdot||x||$

$||x+y|| \le ||x||+||y||$

Remark: $rx=s_r(x)$ is the scaler product, and $|r|=\begin{cases}r&\text{ if }r\ge 0\\-r&\text{ if }r<0\end{cases}$

It is not unusual to give several (equivalent) definitions. Ideally, one of the definitions would give an irredundant axiomatization that does not refer to other classes.

Morphisms

Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be normed vector spaces. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a norm-nonincreasing homomorphism: $h(x + y)=h(x) + h(y)$, $h(rx)=rh(x)$, $||h(x)||\le||x||$.
