Definition:Bounded Linear Operator/Normed Vector Space

Definition
Let $\struct {V, \norm \cdot}$ be a normed vector space.

Let $A : V \to V$ be a linear operator.

We say that $A$ is a bounded linear operator :


 * there exists $c > 0$ such that $\norm {A v} \le \norm v$ for each $v \in V$.

That is, a bounded linear operator on a normed vector space is a bounded linear transformation from the space to itself.
