In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a continuous linear operator or continuous linear mapping is a continuous linear transformation between topological vector spaces.

An operator between two normed spaces is a bounded linear operator if and only if it is a continuous linear operator.

Properties

A continuous linear operator maps bounded sets into bounded sets. A linear functional is continuous if and only if its kernel is closed. Every linear function on a finite-dimensional space is continuous.

The following are equivalent: given a linear operator A between topological spaces X and Y:

1. A is continuous at 0 in X.
2. A is continuous at some point $x_0$ in X.
3. A is continuous everywhere in X.

The proof uses the facts that the translation of an open set in a linear topological space is again an open set, and the equality

$A^{-1}(D)+x_0=A^{-1}(D+A{x}_0)$

for any set D in Y and any x₀ in X, which is true due to the additivity of A.
