Linear and Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications, Second Edition
About this ebook
The author has added more than 450 pages of new material; added more than 210 problems; the solutions to all of the problems will be made available on an accompanying website; added two entirely new chapters, one on locally convex spaces and distribution theory and the other on the Fourier transform and Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators; and enlarged and split the chapter on the “great theorems” of nonlinear functional analysis into two chapters, one on the calculus of variations and the other on Brouwer’s theorem, Brouwer’s degree, and Leray–Schauder’s degree.
Ideal for both teaching and self-study, Linear and Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications, Second Edition is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, university professors, and researchers. It is also an ideal basis for several courses on linear or nonlinear functional analysis.
