Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) To Jennifer-Claire and Bernadette Preface Originally, functional analysis was the study offunctions. It is now considered to be a unifying subject that generalizes much of linear algebra and real/complex analysis, with emphasis on infinite dimensional spaces. This book introduces this vast topic from these elementary preliminaries and develops both the abstract theoryanditsapplicationsinthreeparts:(I)MetricSpaces,(II)BanachandHilbert Spaces, and (III) Banach Algebras. Especially with the digital revolution at the turn of the millennium, Hilbert spaces and least squares approximation have become necessary and fundamental topicsforamathematicaleducation,notonlyjustformathematicians,butalsofor engineers, physicists, and statisticians interested in signal processing, data analy- sis, regression, quantum mechanics, etc. Banach spaces, in particular L1 and L? methods, have gained popularity in applications and are complementing or even supplanting the classical least squares approach to many optimization problems. Aim of this Book The main aim of this book is to provide the reader with an introductory textbook thatstartsfromelementarylinearalgebraandrealanalysisanddevelopsthetheory sufficiently to understand how various applications, including least squares approximation, etc., are all part of a single framework. A textbook must try to achieve a balance between rigor and understanding: not being too elementary by omitting‘hard’proofs,butneithertooadvancedbyusingtoostrictalanguagefor the average reader and treating theorems as mere stepping stones to yet other theorems.Despitethemultitudeofbooksinthisarea,thereisstillaperceivedgap in learning difficulty between undergraduate and graduate textbooks. This book aims to be in the middle: it covers much material and has many exercises of varying difficulty, yet the emphasis is for the student to remember the theory clearly using intuitive language. For example, real analysis is redeveloped from the broader picture of metric spaces (including a construction of the real number space), rather than through the even more abstract topological spaces. vii viii Preface Audience This book is meant for the undergraduate who is interested in mathematical analysisanditsapplications,ortheresearchengineer/statisticianwhowouldlikea more rigorous approach to fundamental mathematical concepts and techniques. It can also serve as a reference or for self-study of a subject that occupies a central place in modern mathematics, opening up many avenues for further study. The basic requirements are mainly the introductory topics of mathematics: Set andLogicnotation,VectorSpaces,andRealAnalysis(calculus).Apartfromthese, itwouldbehelpful,butnotnecessary,tohavetakenelementarycoursesinFourier Series, Lebesgue Integration, and Complex Analysis. Reviews of Vector Spaces and Measurable sets are included in this book, while the other two mentioned subjects are developed only to the extent needed. Examples are included from many areas of mathematics that touch upon functionalanalysis.Itwouldbehelpfulattheappropriateplaces,forthereaderto haveencounteredtheseothersubjects,butthisisnotessential.Theaimistomake connectionsanddescribethemfromtheviewpointoffunctionalanalysis.Withthe modernfacilitiesofsearchingovertheInternet,anyoneinterestedinfollowingup a specific topic can easily do so. The sections follow each other in a linear fashion, with the three parts fitting intothreeone-semestercourses,althoughPartIIistwiceaslongastheothers.The following sections may be omitted without much effect on subsequent topics: Section 6.4 C(X, Y) Section 9.2 Function Spaces Sections 11.5 Pointwise and Weak Convergence Sections 12.1 and 12.2 Differentiation and Integration Sections 14.4 and 14.5 Functional Calculus and the Gelfand Transform Section 15.4 Representation Theorems. Acknowledgments This book grew out of lecture notes that were used in a course on functional analysis for the last 20 years. I wish to thank my students over the years for their feedback, but mostly my colleagues, Emanuel Chetcuti and Josef Lauri for their encouragementandveryhelpfulsuggestionswhenreadingthefirstdraft,aswellas theanonymousreviewerswho,withtheircomments,helpedshapethebook.Iwish tothankalsotheSpringereditors,JoergSixtandCatherineWaite,fortheircarein preparing this manuscript.
