In a finite dimensional vector space V a set xi, i = 1, 2, …, n of vectors of V is said to be a basis, base, or coordinate system for V if the vectors xi are linearly independent and if each vector in V is a linear combination of the elements x1 with real coefficients. If a topology for V is defined in terms of a norm ||.|| then {xi} is a basis for V if and only if to each x ϵ V corresponds a unique set of constants ai such that

In infinite dimensional normed vector spaces the above concepts of basis have different generalizations. The first or algebraic definition gives a Hamel basis which is a maximal linearly independent set [l, p. 2]. We shall be interested in the other or topological definition.
