In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, an ordered vector space [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is said to be regularly ordered and its order is called regular if [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is Archimedean ordered and the order dual of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] distinguishes points in [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math].[1] Being a regularly ordered vector space is an important property in the theory of topological vector lattices.

Examples

Every ordered locally convex space is regularly ordered.[2] The canonical orderings of subspaces, products, and direct sums of regularly ordered vector spaces are again regularly ordered.[2]

Properties

If [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is a regularly ordered vector lattice then the order topology on [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is the finest topology on [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] making [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] into a locally convex topological vector lattice.[3]
