Definition:Unital Normed Algebra

Definition
Let $\Bbb F \in \set {\R, \C}$.

Let $\struct {A, \norm {\, \cdot \,}$ be a normed algebra over $\Bbb F$ that is unital as an algebra.

Let $\mathbf 1_A$ be the identity element of $A$.

We say that $A$ is a unital normed algebra :


 * $\norm {\mathbf 1_A} = 1$
