Operator Theory Functional Analysis And Applications

This book presents 30 articles on the topic areas discussed at the 30th “International Workshop on Operator Theory and its Applications”, held in Lisbon in July 2019. The contributions include both expository essays and original research papers reflecting recent advances in the traditional IWOTA areas and emerging adjacent fields, as well as the applications of Operator Theory and Functional Analysis. The topics range from C*–algebras and Banach *–algebras, Sturm-Liouville theory, integrable systems, dilation theory, frame theory, Toeplitz, Hankel, and singular integral operators, to questions from lattice, group and matrix theories, complex analysis, harmonic analysis, and function spaces. Given its scope, the book is chiefly intended for researchers and graduate students in the areas of Operator Theory, Functional Analysis, their applications and adjacent fields.

Functional analysis is a powerful tool when applied to mathematical problems arising from physical situations. The present book provides, by careful selection of material, a collection of concepts and techniques essential for the modern practitioner. Emphasis is placed on the solution of equations (including nonlinear and partial differential equations). The assumed background is limited to elementary real variable theory and finite-dimensional vector spaces. Provides an ideal transition between introductory math courses and advanced graduate study in applied mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering Gives the reader a keen understanding of applied functional analysis, building progressively from simple background material to the deepest and most significant results Introduces each new topic with a clear, concise explanation Includes numerous examples linking fundamental principles with applications Solidifies the reader's understanding with numerous end-of-chapter problems

This is the first of two volumes containing peer-reviewed research and survey papers based on talks at the International Conference on Modern Analysis and Applications. The papers describe the contemporary development of subjects influenced by Mark Krein.

The Book Is Intended To Serve As A Textbook For An Introductory Course In Functional Analysis For The Senior Undergraduate And Graduate Students. It Can Also Be Useful For The Senior Students Of Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research, Engineering And Theoretical Physics. The Text Starts With A Chapter On Preliminaries Discussing Basic Concepts And Results Which Would Be Taken For Granted Later In The Book. This Is Followed By Chapters On Normed And Banach Spaces, Bounded Linear Operators, Bounded Linear Functionals. The Concept And Specific Geometry Of Hilbert Spaces, Functionals And Operators On Hilbert Spaces And Introduction To Spectral Theory. An Appendix Has Been Given On Schauder Bases.The Salient Features Of The Book Are: * Presentation Of The Subject In A Natural Way * Description Of The Concepts With Justification * Clear And Precise Exposition Avoiding Pendantry * Various Examples And Counter Examples * Graded Problems Throughout Each ChapterNotes And Remarks Within The Text Enhances The Utility Of The Book For The Students.

"Functional Analysis" is a comprehensive, 2-volume treatment of a subject lying at the core of modern analysis and mathematical 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 advanced 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.

This volume contains the proceedings of the eighteenth International Workshop on Operator Theory and Applications (IWOTA), hosted by the Unit for Business Mathematics and Informatics of North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa from July 3 to 6, 2007. The conference (as well as these proceedings) was dedicated to Professors Joseph A. Ball and Marinus M. Kaashoek on the occasion of their 60th and 70th birthdays, respectively. This conference had a particular focus on Von Neumann algebras at the interface of operator theory with functional analysis and on applications of operator theory to differential equations.

rii application of linear operators on a Hilbert space. We begin with a chapter on the geometry of Hilbert space and then proceed to the spectral theory of compact self adjoint operators; operational calculus is next presented as a nat ural outgrowth of the spectral theory. The second part of the text concentrates on Banach spaces and linear operators acting on these spaces. It includes, for example, the three 'basic principles of linear analysis and the Riesz Fredholm theory of compact operators. Both parts contain plenty of applications. All chapters deal exclusively with linear problems, except for the last chapter which is an introduction to the theory of nonlinear operators. In addition to the standard topics in functional anal ysis, we have presented relatively recent results which appear, for example, in Chapter VII. In general, in writ ing this book, the authors were strongly influenced by re cent developments in operator theory which affected the choice of topics, proofs and exercises. One of the main features of this book is the large number of new exercises chosen to expand the reader's com prehension of the material, and to train him or her in the use of it. In the beginning portion of the book we offer a large selection of computational exercises; later, the proportion of exercises dealing with theoretical questions increases. We have, however, omitted exercises after Chap ters V, VII and XII due to the specialized nature of the subject matter.

This book is composed of three survey lecture courses and some twenty invited research papers presented to WOAT 2006 - the International Summer School and Workshop on Operator Algebras, Operator Theory and Applications, held at Lisbon in September 2006. The volume reflects recent developments in the area of operator algebras and their interaction with research fields in complex analysis and operator theory. The book is aimed at postgraduates and researchers in these fields.
