Description
Summary:The classical version of the Riesz Representation Theorem is proved in the context of localIy compact Hausdorff spaces and the local compactness plays an essential role ([1]). This means, for ins tance, that the theorem is not true when the underlying space is a topological vector space of infinite dimension. This paper shows that it is possible to modify the classic proof to establish a natural extension of this theorem in the context of metric spaces or, more generally, in the context on paracomp et spaces (see results in sections 5, 6, 7, 8).
