Advanced Functional Analysis

Functional analysis and operator theory are widely used in the description, understanding and control of dynamical systems and natural processes in physics, chemistry, medicine and the engineering sciences. Advanced Functional Analysis is a self-contained and comprehensive reference for advanced functional analysis and can serve as a guide for related research. The book can be used as a textbook in advanced functional analysis, which is a modern and important field in mathematics, for graduate and postgraduate courses and seminars at universities. At the same time, it enables the interested readers to do their own research.
