Ursescu theorem
In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis and convex analysis, the Ursescu theorem is a theorem that generalizes the closed graph theorem, the open mapping theorem, and the uniform boundedness principle.

Statement
Theorem[1] (Ursescu) — Let X be a complete semi-metrizable locally convex topological vector space and be a closed convex multifunction with non-empty domain. Assume that is barreled for some/every . Assume that and let (so that ). Then for every neighborhood U of in X, belongs to the relative interior of in (i.e. ). In particular, if then .
Corollaries
Closed graph theorem
(Closed graph theorem) Let X and Y be Fréchet spaces and T : X → Y be a linear map. Then T is continuous if and only if the graph of T is closed in .
Proof: For the non-trivial direction, assume that the graph of T is closed and let . It is easy to see that is closed and convex and that its image is X. Given x in X, (T x, x) belongs to so that for every open neighborhood V of T x in Y, is a neighborhood of x in X. Thus T is continuous at x. Q.E.D.
Uniform boundedness principle
(Uniform boundedness principle) Let X and Y be Fréchet spaces and be a bijective linear map. Then T is continuous if and only if is continuous. Furthermore, if T is continuous then T is an isomorphism of Fréchet spaces.
Proof: Apply the closed graph theorem to T and . Q.E.D.
Open mapping theorem
(Open mapping theorem) Let X and Y be Fréchet spaces and be a continuous surjective linear map. Then T is an open map.
Proof: Clearly, T is a closed and convex relation whose image is Y. Let U be a non-empty open subset of X, let y be in T(U), and let x in U be such that y = T x. From the Ursescu theorem it follows that T(U) is a neighborhood of y. Q.E.D.
Additional corollaries
The following notation and notions are used for these corollaries, where is a multifunction, S is a non-empty subset of a topological vector space X:
- a convex series with elements of S is a series of the form where all and is a series of non-negative numbers. If converges then the series is called convergent while if is bounded then the series is called bounded and b-convex.
- S is ideally convex if any convergent b-convex series of elements of S has its sum in S.
- S is lower ideally convex if there exists a Fréchet space Y such that S is equal to the projection onto X of some ideally convex subset B of . Every ideally convex set is lower ideally convex.
Corollary Let X be a barreled first countable space and let C be a subset of X. Then:
- If C is lower ideally convex then .
- If C is ideally convex then .
