1 Introduction
This paper derives from our previous work, [1].
Specifically, to carry over Hilbert space type
arguments to the theory of Banach spaces, [3],
constructed on a vector space a type of inner
product, named semi–inner product (s.i.p), [9], with
a more general axiom system that of Hilbert space,
[4].
Definition 1.1
Let X be a real vector space. We say that a real
semi-inner product (in short s.i.p.) is defined on
X if for every there corresponds a real number
and the following properties hold, [3]:
(1)(i)
(ii) for and
(2) for
(3)
The pair is a semi-inner product space (in
short, s.i.p.s.).
A s.i.p.s. is a normed vector space with
, [3].
For Lumer the importance of an s.i.p. space is
that every normed vector space can be represented
as an s.i.p. space so that the theory of operators on
Banach space can be penetrated by Hilbert space
arguments, [4].
Aiming to generalize condition (2) in the
definition of s.i.p., we have introduced in [1], the
semi-pre-inner product function, which is a
generalization of the s.i.p. function’s concept.
Definition 1.2
Let X be a real vector space. Consider a function
defined on as follows, [2]:

then, we say that is a semi-pre-inner product on X
(in short s.p.i.p.).
The pair is called a semi-pre-inner product
space (in short s.p.i.p.s.).
In [2], it proved that for every semi-norm function p
in the vector space X, there is a s.p.i.p. , such
that
Let X be a real vector space and be a
semi-normed space, where is a family of
semi-norms on X and is an index set. For every
let us denote by the s.p.i.p.,
corresponding to the semi-norm .
In [1], we defined an orthogonality relation in
s.p.i.p. spaces as follows:
Definition 1.3
Let be and . The vector x is called
orthogonal according to the index over the vector
y, if . In this case, the vector y is called
transversal according to the index over the vector
x, [1].
Definition 1.4
Let be . The vector x is called orthogonal
over the vector y, if the vector x is orthogonal
according to every index over the vector y.
In this case, the vector y is called transversal over
the vector x, [1].
Definition 1.5
Let

be a normed linear space. Denote by S
the unit sphere in V. The normed space
,V
is
called teaux differentiable [4], if for all

Definition 1.6
Let

sphere in X. The s.i.p. space
X
is called a
continuous s.i.p. space if for all

2 Main Results
Our first main concern is to define the class of
continuous s.p.i.p. spaces. We will show that in such
spaces the orthogonality [5] according to an index is
a generalization to the orthogonality relation as
studied by J. Gilles in Theorem 1.2. Also, we show
that in continuous s.p.i.p. spaces, it holds similar
results compared with the results of Theorem 1.1.
In the end, we will get some good results for
orthogonality according to an index on separable
semi-normed spaces, [6].

3 Conclusions
This research grew out of our earlier work and our
goal was to see what new advancements may be
achieved for classes of s.p.i.p. spaces formed by
placing additional constraints on the s.p.i.p.
function. We defined the class of continuous s.p.i.p.
spaces. We demonstrated that orthogonality
according to an index in such spaces is a
continuation of the orthogonality relation studied by
J. Gilles. We also demonstrated that the continuity
limitation on the s.p.i.p. function is equal to the
norm's Gâteaux differentiability. In continuous
s.p.i.p. spaces, we obtained similar findings to other
outcomes. Finally, using an index on separable
