Definition 2.1.

Let ∥⋅∥1\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{1} and ∥⋅∥2\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{2} be seminorms on VV. We say that ∥⋅∥1\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{1} and ∥⋅∥2\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{2} are equivalent if there exist two constants C1>0C_{1}>0 and C2>0C_{2}>0 such that C1​∥⋅∥1≤∥⋅∥2≤C2​∥⋅∥1C_{1}\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{1}\leq\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{2}\leq C_{2}\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{1}. Note that this condition holds if and only if the seminorms ∥⋅∥1\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{1} and ∥⋅∥2\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{2} induce the same topology on the vector space VV ([Bou, Corollaire I.3.3.1])(note that the absolute value |⋅|\lvert\mathord{\cdot}\rvert is supposed to be non-trivial).
