Algebraic interior

In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, the algebraic interior or radial kernel of a subset of a vector space is a refinement of the concept of the interior. It is the subset of points contained in a given set with respect to which it is absorbing, i.e. the radial points of the set.[1] The elements of the algebraic interior are often referred to as internal points.[2][3]

If M is a linear subspace of X and then the algebraic interior of with respect to M is:[4]

where it is clear that and if then , where is the affine hull of (which is equal to ).

Algebraic Interior (Core)

The set is called the algebraic interior of A or the core of A and it is denoted by or . Formally, if is a vector space then the algebraic interior of is

[5]

If A is non-empty, then these additional subsets are also useful for the statements of many theorems in convex functional analysis (such as the Ursescu theorem):

If X is a Fréchet space, A is convex, and is closed in X then but in general it's possible to have while is not empty.

Example

If then , but and .

Properties of core

If then:

  • In general, .
  • If is a convex set then:
    • , and
    • for all then
  • is absorbing if and only if .[1]
  • [6]
  • if [6]

Relation to interior

Let be a topological vector space, denote the interior operator, and then:

  • If is nonempty convex and is finite-dimensional, then [2]
  • If is convex with non-empty interior, then [7]
  • If is a closed convex set and is a complete metric space, then [8]

Relative algebraic interior

If then the set is denoted by and it is called the relative algebraic interior of .[6] This name stems from the fact that if and only if and (where if and only if ).

Relative interior

If A is a subset of a topological vector space X then the relative interior of A is the set

.

That is, it is the topological interior of A in , which is the smallest affine linear subspace of X containing A. The following set is also useful:

Quasi relative interior

If A is a subset of a topological vector space X then the quasi relative interior of A is the set

.

In a Hausdorff finite dimensional topological vector space, .
