As the standard negator is used in the above definition of a t-norm/t-conorm pair, this can be generalized as follows: A De Morgan triplet is a triple (T,⊥,n) such that [1] T is a t-norm; ⊥ is a t-conorm according to the axiomatic definition of t-conorms as mentioned above; n is a strong negator
Pseudometric spaces were introduced by Đuro Kurepa [1] [2] in 1934. In the same way as every normed space is a metric space, every seminormed space is a pseudometric space. Because of this analogy, the term semimetric space (which has a different meaning in topology) is sometimes used as a synonym, especially in functional analysis.
A process of defuzzification is said to occur, when fuzzy concepts can be logically described in terms of fuzzy sets, or the relationships between fuzzy sets, which makes it possible to define variations in the meaning or applicability of concepts as quantities. Effectively, qualitative differences are in that case described more precisely as ...

Every normed vector space can be "uniquely extended" to a Banach space, which makes normed spaces intimately related to Banach spaces. Every Banach space is a normed space but converse is not true. For example, the set of the finite sequences of real numbers can be normed with the Euclidean norm , but it is not complete for this norm.
The basic and historically first class of spaces studied in functional analysis are complete normed vector spaces over the real or complex numbers. Such spaces are called Banach spaces . An important example is a Hilbert space , where the norm arises from an inner product.
The space of distributions, being defined as the continuous dual space of (), is then endowed with the (non-metrizable) strong dual topology induced by () and the canonical LF-topology (this topology is a generalization of the usual operator norm induced topology that is placed on the continuous dual spaces of normed spaces).
In terms of the vector space, the seminorm defines a topology on the space, and this is a Hausdorff topology precisely when the seminorm can distinguish between distinct vectors, which is again equivalent to the seminorm being a norm. The topology thus defined (by either a norm or a seminorm) can be understood either in terms of sequences or ...
