Abstract: | It is shown that each semispaceC X naturally generates a relation of complete preorder onX with respect to which the pair (X C, C) is a cut ofX. By identifying the type of the semispace with the type of the cut generated by this semispace, the semispaces are classified according to their types. The obtained classification extends the classification of semispaces in finite-dimensional vector spaces due to Martinez-Legaz and Singer to infinite-dimensional spaces.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 64, No. 2, pp. 191–198, August, 1998. |
