Assume that the topology μ is generated by the family {q β } β I of semi norms on Y. Let β(x λ ) denote the family of bounded sets in (X, λ) and let σ β(x λ ). An operator T:(X, λ) (Y,μ) is said to be sequentially continuous if for every sequence (x n )ofx and λ μ Tx n Tx. every x X such that x n x one has It has been shown in [1] that if T n :(X, λ) (Y,μ) is a sequence of sequentially continuous linear operators satisfying C σ lim T n y = Tyuniformly in y C with respect to the topology μ, then the limit operator T send λ-bounded sets into μ bounded sets. Our main objective in this paper is to generalize all the results established by S. Lahrech in [1] to bounded convex processes. 2 Banach-Steinhaus theorem in locally convex spaces for bounded convex processes Assume that all the hypotheses of the above paragraph are satisfied. Let Φ : X Y be a multifunction. The domain of Φ is the set D(Φ) = {x X :Φ(x) }. We say Φ has nonempty images if its domain is X. For any subset C of X we write Φ(C) for the image x CΦ(x) and the range of Φ is the set R(Φ) = Φ(X). We say Φ is surjective if its range is Y. The graph of Φ is the set G(Φ) = {(x, y) X Y : y Φ(x)}. A multifunction is convex, or closed if its graph is likewise. A process is a multifunction whose graph is a cone. For example, we can interpret linear closed operators as closed convex processes. A convex process Φ : X Y is said to be (λ, μ) -bounded if it maps every bounded set of (X, λ) into bounded set in (Y,μ). Denote by M(X, Y ) the class of multifunctions acting from X into Y. Let also M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)) denote the class of bounded multifunctions from (X, λ) into(y,μ). For A Y, B Y with A and B, we define the direct Hausdorff distance ρ β with respect to the semi norm q β by: ρ β (A, B) = supd β A (y), where y B d β A is the distance function to the set A with respect to the semi norm q β. If A = or B =, then we set ρ β (A, B) =0.

3 Banach-Steinhaus type theorems 439 For Φ 1, Φ 2 M(X, Y ) and for C σ, β I, set ν C,β (Φ 1, Φ 2 ) = sup ρ β (Φ 1 (x), Φ 2 (x)). x C Then, ν C,β is a pseudo-metric on M(X, Y ). That is, ν C,β (Φ 1, Φ 2 ) [0, + ] ( Φ 1, Φ 2 M(X, Y )) and ν C,β (Φ 1, Φ 1 )=0 Φ 1 M(X, Y ). Therefore, (M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ) is a pseudo- uniform space. Let (Φ n ) be a sequence of elements of M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)). we say that (Φ n )is a Cauchy sequence in (M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β )if C σ β Iν C,β (Φ n, Φ m ) 0 as n, m +. In other words, (Φ n ) is a Cauchy sequence in (M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β )if β I C σ we have ε >0 n 0 N n n 0 m n 0 x C y 1 Φ m (x) y 2 Φ n (x) q β (y 1 y 2 ) <ε. Let ζ be the topology on M(X, Y ) generated by the family {ν C,β } C,β of pseudometrics. Recall that a sequence Φ n converges to Φ with respect to the topology ζ, if C σ β Iν C,β (Φ n, Φ) 0. Let us remark that every sequence (Φ n )ofm(x, Y ) converge to the multifunction Φ with respect to the topology ζ. We define μ lim inf Φ n to be the multifunction Φ defined by: x X Φ(x) ={y Y : y n Φ n (x) ( n) such that μ y n y}. We say that (M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ) is strongly sequentially complete, if every Cauchy sequence (Φ n )in (M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β )Φ n converges to μ lim inf Φ n in (M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ). If (Φ n ) is a Cauchy sequence in (M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ) converging to μ lim inf Φ n in (M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ), then Φ μ lim inf Φ n is called the (σ, μ)- lower multifunction limit of (Φ n ). For a multifunction Φ : X Y and y Y (Y,μ), we define y oφtobe the multifunction Φ 1 : X R defined by Φ 1 (x) =y (Φ(x)). Now we are ready to prove the main results of our paper. Theorem 2.1 For a locally convex space (X, λ), the following conditions are equivalent: (i) For every locally convex space (Y,μ) and for every Cauchy sequence (Φ n ) in (M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ) converging to Φ μ lim inf Φ n in (M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ), the multifunction limit Φ of (Φ n ) is (λ, μ)-bounded; (ii) (M b ((X, λ),r), {ν C,. } C ) is strongly sequentially complete.

4 440 S. Lahrech, A. Jaddar, J. Hlal, A. Ouahab, A. Mbarki Proof. (i) (ii). Let (Φ n ) be a Cauchy sequence in (M b ((X, λ),r), {ν C,. } C ). Setting Φ = lim inf Φ n. lim inf Φ n, we deduce that Φ is the (σ,. )- lower multifunction limit of (Φ n ). Indeed, Let C σ, β I, ε>0. Then n 0 N n n 0 m n 0 x C y 1 Φ n (x) y 2 Φ m (x) y 1 y 2 < ε. 2 Let n n 0, x C, y 1 Φ(x). Since Φ = lim inf Φ r, it follows that y r Φ r (x)( r) such that y r y 1 in R. Let r 0 n 0 such that y r0 y 1 < ε and pick any y 2 2 Φ n (x) such that y r0 y 2 < ε. Then, we obtain y 2 1 y 2 < y 1 y r0 + y r0 y 2 < ε + ε = ε. 2 2 Thus, Φ n Φin(M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ). Hence, by virtue of (i), we conclude that Φ M b ((X, λ),r). Conversely, Assume that (M b ((X, λ),r), {ν C,. } C ) is strongly sequentially complete. Let (Y,μ) be a locally convex space and let (Φ n ) be a Cauchy sequence in (M b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ) converging to Φ μ lim inf Φ n in (M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ). Pick any λ-bounded set B in X. Let (x k ) be a sequence of elements of B and let y k Φ(x k )( k). Fix y (Y,μ). Then, there exists β 0 I and c 1 > 0 such that for every z Y y,z c 1 q β0 (z). Consequently, (y oφ n ) is a Cauchy sequence in (M b (X, R), {ν C,. } C ). Hence, lim inf(y oφ n ) M b (X, R). On the other hand, x X (y oφ)(x) (lim inf(y oφ n ))(x). Therefore, y oφ M b ((X, λ),r). This implies that Φ(B) isμ-bounded by the classical Mackey theorem. Thus, we achieve the proof. Denote by PC b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)) the class of (λ, μ)-bounded convex processes. We say that (PC b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ) is strongly sequentially complete, if every Cauchy sequence (Φ n )in (PC b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ) converges to μ lim inf Φ n in (PC b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ). Then the proof of theorem 1 gives the following. Theorem 2.2 For a locally convex space (X, λ), the following conditions are equivalent: (i) For every locally convex space (Y,μ) and for every Cauchy sequence (Φ n ) in (PC b ((X, λ), (Y,μ)), {ν C,β } C,β ) converging to Φ μ lim inf Φ n in (M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ), the multifunction limit Φ of (Φ n ) is (λ, μ)-bounded convex process; (ii) (PC b ((X, λ),r), {ν C,. } C ) is strongly sequentially complete. Remark 2.3 Let T n :(X, λ) (Y,μ) be a sequence of sequentially continuous linear operators satisfying C σ lim T n y = Ty uniformly in y C with respect to the topology μ. Assume that the topology μ is separated and (PC b ((X, λ),r), {ν C,. } C ) is sequentially complete. Then the multifunction Φ n : X Y defined by Φ n (x) ={T n x} is a bounded convex process converging to Φ lim inf Φ n = {T } in (M(X, Y ), {ν C,β } C,β ). Therefore, using theorem 2, we deduce that T is (λ, μ)-bounded. Thus, we recapture all the results given by S. Lahrech in [1] using our theorems.
