In mathematics, specifically in
order theory and
functional analysis, if
is a cone at 0 in a vector space
such that
then a subset
is said to be
-saturated if
where
Given a subset
the
-saturated hull of
is the smallest
-saturated subset of
that contains
If
is a collection of subsets of
then
If
is a collection of subsets of
and if
is a subset of
then
is a fundamental subfamily of
if every
is contained as a subset of some element of
If
is a family of subsets of a TVS
then a cone
in
is called a
-cone if
is a fundamental subfamily of
and
is a strict
-cone if
is a fundamental subfamily of
-saturated sets play an important role in the theory of
ordered topological vector spaces and
topological vector lattices.
Properties
If
is an ordered vector space with positive cone
then
The map
is increasing; that is, if
then
If
is convex then so is
When
is considered as a vector field over
then if
is
balanced then so is
If
is a
filter base (resp. a filter) in
then the same is true of
