OR:

In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, if C is a cone at 0 in a vector space X such that 0 \in C, then a subset S \subseteq X is said to be C-saturated if S = C, where C := (S + C) \cap (S - C). Given a subset S \subseteq X, the C-saturated hull of S is the smallest C-saturated subset of X that contains S. If \mathcal is a collection of subsets of X then \left \mathcal \rightC := \left\. If \mathcal is a collection of subsets of X and if \mathcal is a subset of \mathcal then \mathcal is a fundamental subfamily of \mathcal if every T \in \mathcal is contained as a subset of some element of \mathcal. If \mathcal is a family of subsets of a TVS X then a cone C in X is called a \mathcal-cone if \left\ is a fundamental subfamily of \mathcal and C is a strict \mathcal-cone if \left\ is a fundamental subfamily of \mathcal. C-saturated sets play an important role in the theory of ordered topological vector spaces and topological vector lattices.


Properties

If X is an ordered vector space with positive cone C then C = \bigcup \left\. The map S \mapsto C is increasing; that is, if R \subseteq S then C \subseteq C. If S is convex then so is C. When X is considered as a vector field over \R, then if S is balanced then so is C. If \mathcal is a filter base (resp. a filter) in X then the same is true of \left \mathcal \rightC := \left\.
