Lemma 10.13.5.label Let $E, F, G$ be TVSs over $K \in \RC$ and $\alg \subset L^{2}(E, F; G)$ be continuous bilinear maps, then the following are equivalent:

  1. (1)

    $\alg$ is equicontinuous.

  2. (2)

    $\alg$ is equicontinuous at $0$.

Proof. (2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): For each $(x_{0}, y_{0}), (x, y) \in E \times F$ and $\lambda \in \alg$,

\[\lambda(x, y) - \lambda(x_{0}, y_{0}) = \lambda(x - x_{0}, y - y_{0}) + \lambda(x - x_{0}, y_{0}) + \lambda(x_{0}, y - y_{0})\]

For each $U \in \cn_{G}(0)$ circled, there exists circled neighbourhoods $V \in \cn_{E}(0)$ and $W \in \cn_{F}(0)$ such that $\lambda(V \times W) \subset U$ for all $\lambda \in \alg$. In which case, there exists $\mu > 0$ such that $y_{0} \in \mu W$ and $x_{0} \in \mu V$. Thus if $(x, y) - (x_{0}, y_{0}) \in \mu^{-1}(V \times W)$, then for every $\lambda \in \alg$,

\[\lambda(x - x_{0}, y_{0}) \in \lambda(\mu^{-1}V \times \mu W) = \lambda(V \times W) \subset U\]

and $\lambda(x_{0}, y - y_{0}) \in U$ as well. Therefore $\alg$ is equicontinuous at $(x_{0}, y_{0})$.$\square$
