A Fréchet space is a complete and metrizable space, sometimes also with the restriction that the space be locally convex. The
topology of a Fréchet space is defined by a countable
family of seminorms. For example, the space of smooth
functions on
is a Fréchet space. Its topology is the C-infty
topology, which is given by the countable family of seminorms,
Because
in this topology implies that
is smooth, i.e.,
any Cauchy sequence has a limit in the space of smooth functions, i.e., it is a complete vector space.
