The finest locally convex topology of an extended locally convex space

Salas and Garcia introduced the concept of an extended locally convex space in [D. Salas and S. Tapia-Garcia. Extended seminorms and extended topological vector spaces. Topology and its Applications, 2016] which extends the idea of an extended normed space (introduced by Beer in G. Beer. Norms with infinite values. Journal of Convex Analysis, 2015). This article gives an attractive formulation of the finest locally convex topology of an extended locally convex space and provides a systematic study of the resulting locally convex space. As an application, we characterize the coincidence of the finest locally convex topologies corresponding to the topologies of uniform and strong uniform convergences on a bornology for the function space C(X).
