Mar 27 at 23:37 comment added TaQ In my copy of Rudin's book, on page 43 he precisely writes: "... Banach−Steinhaus theorem (2.5) is often referred to as the uniform boundedness principle," but there is no mention that he himself would follow this convention.
Mar 14 at 21:14 comment added Isaac I can see in p.44 of the same book that Rudin regards "Banach-Steinhaus" and "uniform boundedness principle" as interchangeable synonyms.
Mar 12 at 14:38 comment added TaQ (continued) In Rudin's Functional Analysis (p. 43 in my copy) "Banach−Steinhaus" means a certain equicontinuity result.
Mar 12 at 14:38 comment added TaQ Yes, historically, according to what I know, they obtained the "uniform boundedness principle" for linear maps from a complete normed space to a normed space. However, this basic result has been generalized to varius directions and it has/these have certain rather immediate corollaries. It varies a bit from author to author by which phase one refers to each of these related results. For example, in Horváth's "famous distribution book" on page 216 the phase "Banach−Steinhaus" refers to a result similar to (but less general than) the one in Jarchow's book.
Mar 12 at 13:42 comment added Isaac My understanding is that uniform boundness principle was established by Banach and Steinhaus and therefore carries their names. Or is there anything I am missing?
