Grothendieck's Theorem


Let E and F be paired spaces with S a family of absolutely convex bounded sets of F such that the sets of S generate F and, if B_1,B_2 in S, then there exists a B_3 in S such that B_3 superset B_1 and B_3 superset B_2. Then E_S is complete iff algebraic linear functional f(y) of F that is weakly continuous on every B in S is expressed as f(y)=<x,y> for some x in E. When E_S is not complete, the space of all linear functionals satisfying this condition gives the completion E^^_S of E_S.
