Book Description

After recalling essentials of analysis OCo including functional analysis, convexity, distribution theory and interpolation theory OCo this book handles two topics in detail: Fourier analysis, with emphasis on positivity and also on some function spaces and multiplier theorems; and one-parameter operator semigroups with emphasis on Feller semigroups and Lp-sub-Markovian semigroups. In addition, Dirichlet forms are treated. The book is self-contained and offers new material originated by the author and his students. Sample Chapter(s).
