Closed Graph Theorem


The closed graph theorem states that a linear operator between two Banach spaces X and Y is continuous iff it has a closed graph, where the "graph" {(x,f(x)):x in X} is considered closed if it is a closed subset of X×Y equipped with the product topology.

The closed graph theorem also holds for Fréchet spaces.
