Book Description

Functional Analysis is a comprehensive, 2-volume treatment of a subject lying at the core of modern analysis and mathemati- cal physics. The first volume reviews basic concepts such as the measure, the integral, Banach spaces, bounded operators and generalized functions. Volume II moves on to more ad- vanced topics including unbounded operators, spectral decomposition, expansion in generalized eigenvectors, rigged spaces, and partial differential operators. This text provides students of mathematics and physics with a clear introduction into the above concepts, with the theory well illustrated by a wealth of examples. Researchers will appreciate it as a useful reference manual.
