In the mathematical disciplines of in functional analysis and order theory, a Banach lattice (X,‖·‖) is a complete normed vector space with a lattice order, , such that for all x, yX, the implication holds, where the absolute value |·| is defined as

Examples and constructions

edit

Banach lattices are extremely common in functional analysis, and "every known example [in 1948] of a Banach space [was] also a vector lattice."[1] In particular:

  • , together with its absolute value as a norm, is a Banach lattice.
  • Let X be a topological space, Y a Banach lattice and 𝒞(X,Y) the space of continuous bounded functions from X to Y with norm   Then 𝒞(X,Y) is a Banach lattice under the pointwise partial order:  

Examples of non-lattice Banach spaces are now known; James' space is one such.[2]

Properties

edit

The continuous dual space of a Banach lattice is equal to its order dual.[3]

Every Banach lattice admits a continuous approximation to the identity.[4]

Abstract (L)-spaces

edit

A Banach lattice satisfying the additional condition   is called an abstract (L)-space. Such spaces, under the assumption of separability, are isomorphic to closed sublattices of L1([0,1]).[5] The classical mean ergodic theorem and Poincaré recurrence generalize to abstract (L)-spaces.[6]
