Banach Spaces for Analysts [Paperback]

This book is intended to be used with graduate courses in Banach space theory.Applications to other areas such as harmonic analysis function theory, orthogonal series and approximation theory are also given prominence in this introduction to modern Banach space theory. The book's prerequisites are a background in functional, complex, and real analysis.Applications to other areas such as harmonic analysis function theory, orthogonal series and approximation theory are also given prominence in this introduction to modern Banach space theory. The book's prerequisites are a background in functional, complex, and real analysis.This is an introduction to modern Banach space theory, in which applications to other areas such as harmonic analysis, function theory, orthogonal series, and approximation theory are also given prominence. The author begins with a discussion of weak topologies, weak compactness, and isomorphisms of Banach spaces before proceeding to the more detailed study of particular spaces. The book is intended to be used with graduate courses in Banach space theory, so the prerequisites are a background in functional, complex, and real analysis. As the only introduction to the modern theory of Banach spaces, it will be an essential companion for professional mathematicians working in the subject, or to those interested in applying it to other areas of analysis.1.
