Order continuous norms — basic theory #
A normed vector lattice has an order continuous norm when every decreasing net of non-negative elements with infimum zero converges to zero in norm. The sequential version is σ-order continuity; equivalently, every increasing positive sequence whose supremum exists converges in norm to that supremum.
This file introduces the σ- and full classes IsSigmaOrderContinuousNorm and
IsOrderContinuousNorm, records that the latter is stronger, proves the
equivalent sequential characterisations of σ-order continuity, and shows that
an order continuous Banach lattice is order complete.
Definitions #
A normed vector lattice has a σ-order continuous norm if every antitone sequence of non-negative elements with greatest lower bound zero converges to zero in norm.

A normed vector lattice has an order continuous norm if every antitone net of non-negative elements (over a non-empty directed index set) with greatest lower bound zero converges to zero in norm.
The index set ι is constrained to live in the same universe as X; in
applications (e.g. indexing by a subset of X) this is the case.

Instances
In a normed vector lattice with order-continuous norm, order convergence of a net implies norm convergence.
An order continuous norm is in particular σ-order continuous.
Equivalent sequential characterisations #
An increasing sequence with a least upper bound converges in norm to that bound.
An antitone sequence with a greatest lower bound converges in norm to that bound.
The norm is σ-order continuous: if |u n - x| ≤ v n for an antitone
sequence v with inf v = 0, then u n → x in norm.
The norm itself is an order continuous function on positive elements:
if u n converges in order to x, then ‖u n‖ → ‖x‖.
Order continuity implies order completeness #
Archimedean "gap" lemma. In an Archimedean
vector lattice, any common lower bound of all differences w - a with w an
upper bound of a nonempty bounded-above set A and a ∈ A must be ≤ 0.
An order continuous Banach lattice is order complete.
