In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, a filter in an order complete vector lattice is order convergent if it contains an order bounded subset (that is, a subset contained in an interval of the form ) and if where is the set of all order bounded subsets of X, in which case this common value is called the order limit of in [1]

Order convergence plays an important role in the theory of vector lattices because the definition of order convergence does not depend on any topology.

Definition

edit

A net   in a vector lattice   is said to decrease to   if   implies   and   in   A net   in a vector lattice   is said to order-converge to   if there is a net   in   that decreases to   and satisfies   for all  .[2]

Order continuity

edit

A linear map   between vector lattices is said to be order continuous if whenever   is a net in   that order-converges to   in   then the net   order-converges to   in     is said to be sequentially order continuous if whenever   is a sequence in   that order-converges to   in  then the sequence   order-converges to   in  [2]

edit

In an order complete vector lattice   whose order is regular,   is of minimal type if and only if every order convergent filter in   converges when   is endowed with the order topology.[1]
