Norm Topology


The norm topology on a normed space X=(X,||·||_X) is the topology tau consisting of all sets which can be written as a (possibly empty) union of sets of the form

 B_r(x)={y in X:||y-x||_X<r}

for some x in X and for some number r in R. Sets of the form B_r(x) are called the open balls in X.
