An Introduction to Functional Analysis
暫譯: 泛函分析導論

This accessible text covers key results in functional analysis that are essential for further study in the calculus of variations, analysis, dynamical systems, and the theory of partial differential equations. The treatment of Hilbert spaces covers the topics required to prove the Hilbert-Schmidt Theorem, including orthonormal bases, the Riesz Representation Theorem, and the basics of spectral theory. The material on Banach spaces and their duals includes the Hahn-Banach Theorem, the Krein-Milman Theorem, and results based on the Baire Category Theorem, before culminating in a proof of sequential weak compactness in reflexive spaces. Arguments are presented in detail, and more than 200 fully-worked exercises are included to provide practice applying techniques and ideas beyond the major theorems. Familiarity with the basic theory of vector spaces and point-set topology is assumed, but knowledge of measure theory is not required, making this book ideal for upper undergraduate-level and beginning graduate-level courses.
