Bochner almost-periodic functions

From HandWiki

Functions equivalent to Bohr almost-periodic functions; defined by S. Bochner [1]. A function $f(x)$ which is continuous in the interval $(-\infty,\infty)$ is said to be a Bochner almost-periodic function if the family of functions $\{f(x+h)\colon-\infty<h<\infty\}$ is compact in the sense of uniform convergence on $(-\infty,\infty)$, i.e. if it is possible to select from each infinite sequence $f(x+h_k)$, $k=1,2,\dots,$ a subsequence which converges uniformly to $f(x)$ on $(-\infty,\infty)$. Bochner's definition is extensively employed in the theory of almost-periodic functions; in particular, it serves as the starting point in abstract generalizations of the concept of almost-periodicity.
