F-spaceIn functional analysis, an F-space is a vector space over the real or complex numbers together with a metric such that Scalar multiplication in is continuous with respect to and the standard metric on or Addition in is continuous with respect to The metric is translation-invariant; that is, for all The metric space is complete. The operation is called an F-norm, although in general an F-norm is not required to be homogeneous. By translation-invariance, the metric is recoverable from the F-norm.
