functional analysis Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limit-related structure (for example, Inner product space#Definition, inner product, Norm (mathematics ...
, a sequence of positive elements \left(x_i\right)_^ in a preordered vector space X (that is, x_i \geq 0 for all i) is called order summable if \sup_ \sum_^n x_i exists in X. For any 1 \leq p \leq \infty, we say that a sequence \left(x_i\right)_^ of positive elements of X is of type \ell^p if there exists some z \in X and some sequence \left(c_i\right)_^ in \ell^p such that 0 \leq x_i \leq c_i z for all i. The notion of order summable sequences is related to the completeness of the
order topology In mathematics, an order topology is a specific topology that can be defined on any totally ordered set. It is a natural generalization of the topology of the real numbers to arbitrary totally ordered sets. If ''X'' is a totally ordered set, ...
