Definition:

A distribution is a linear and continuous map from to for an open .

Construction:

We now construct the LCTVS of distributions on , denoted by . Indeed, to induce the locally convex topology, we use a family of seminorms given by

for ,

where ranges over the natural numbers and over all compact subsets of .
