Included are such topics as the principles of Banach and Hilbert spaces, the theory of multinormed and uniform spaces, the Riesz-Dunford holomorphic functional calculus, the Fredholm index theory, convex analysis and duality theory for locally convex spaces. With standard provisos the presentation is self-contained, exposing about a hun- dred famous "named" theorems furnished with complete proofs and culminating in the Gelfand-Nalmark-Segal construction for C*-algebras. The first Russian edition was printed by the Siberian Division of "Nauka" Pub- lishers in 1983. Since then the monograph has served as the standard textbook on functional analysis at the University of Novosibirsk. This volume is translated from the second Russian edition printed by the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences· in 1995. It incorporates new sections on Radon measures, the Schwartz spaces of distributions, and a supplementary list of theoretical exercises and problems. This edition was typeset using AMS-'lEX, the American Mathematical Society's 'lEX system. To clear my conscience completely, I also confess that := stands for the definor, the assignment operator, <J marks the beginning of a (possibly empty) proof, and [> signifies the end of the proof. s. K utateladze Preface to the First Russian Edition As the title implies, this book treats functional analysis. At the turn of the century the term "functional analysis" was coined by J. Hadamard who is famous among mathematicians for the formula of the radius of convergence of a power series. The term "functional analysis" was universally accepted then as related to the calculus of variations, standing for a new direction of analysis which was intensively developed by V. Volterra, C. Arzela, S. Pincherle, P. Levy, and other representatives of the French and Italian mathematical schools. J. Hadamard's contribution to the present discipline should not be reduced to the invention of the word "functional" (or more precisely to the transformation of the adjective into a proper noun). J. Hadamard was fully aware of the relevance of the rising subject. Working hard, he constantly advertised problems, ideas, and methods just evolved. In particular, to one of his students, M. Frechet, he suggested the problem of inventing something that is now generally acclaimed as the theory of metric spaces. In this connection it is worth indicating that neighborhoods pertinent to functional analysis in the sense of Hadamard and Volterra served as precursors to Hausdorff's famous research, heralding the birth of general topology. Further, it is essential to emphasize that one of the most attractive, difficult, and important sections of classical analysis, the calculus of variations, became the first source of functional analysis. The second source of functional analysis was provided by the study directed to creating some algebraic theory for functional equations or, stated strictly, to simplify- ing and formalizing the manipulations of "equations in functions" and, in particular, linear integral equations. Ascending to H. Abel and J. Liouville, the theory of the latter was considerably expanded by works of I. Fredholm, K. Neumann, F. Noether, xii Preface A. Poincare, et al. The efforts of these mathematicians fertilized soil for D. Hilbert's celebrated research into quadratic forms in infinitely many variables. His ideas, devel- oped further by F. Riesz, E. Schmidt, et al., were the immediate predecessors of the axiomatic presentation of Hilbert space theory which was undertaken and implemented by J. von Neumann and M. Stone. The resulting section of mathematics h.as vigor- ously influenced theoretical physics, first of all, quantum mechanics. In this regard it is instructive as well as entertaining to mention that both terms, "quantum" and "functional," originated in the

In this note, we show that every infinite-dimensional separable Fr´echet space admitting a continuous norm supports an operator for which there is an infinite-dimensional closed subspace consisting, except for zero, of hypercyclic vectors. The family of such operators is even dense in the space of bounded operators when endowed with the strong operator topology. This completes the earlier work of several authors. 1. Introduction and notation Throughout this paper, the following standard notation will be used: N is the set of positive integers, R is the real line, and C is the complex plane. The symbols (mk), (nk) will stand for strictly increasing sequences in N.IfX, Y are (Hausdorff) topological vector spaces (TVSs) over the same field K = R or C,thenL(X, Y ) will denote the space of continuous linear mappings from X into Y , while L(X)isthe class of operators on X,thatis,L(X)=L(X, X).

    On the Origin and Early History of Functional Analysis

    U.U.D.M. Project Report 2008:1 On the origin and early history of functional analysis Jens Lindström Examensarbete i matematik, 30 hp Handledare och examinator: Sten Kaijser Januari 2008 Department of Mathematics Uppsala University Abstract In this report we will study the origins and history of functional analysis up until 1918. We begin by studying ordinary and partial differential equations in the 18th and 19th century to see why there was a need to develop the concepts of functions and limits. We will see how a general theory of infinite systems of equations and determinants by Helge von Koch were used in Ivar Fredholm’s 1900 paper on the integral equation b Z ϕ(s) = f(s) + λ K(s, t)f(t)dt (1) a which resulted in a vast study of integral equations. One of the most enthusiastic followers of Fredholm and integral equation theory was David Hilbert, and we will see how he further developed the theory of integral equations and spectral theory. The concept introduced by Fredholm to study sets of transformations, or operators, made Maurice Fr´echet realize that the focus should be shifted from particular objects to sets of objects and the algebraic properties of these sets. This led him to introduce abstract spaces and we will see how he introduced the axioms that defines them. Finally, we will investigate how the Lebesgue theory of integration were used by Frigyes Riesz who was able to connect all theory of Fredholm, Fr´echet and Lebesgue to form a general theory, and a new discipline of mathematics, now known as functional analysis.

    A Appendix: Linear Algebra and Functional Analysis

    A Appendix: Linear Algebra and Functional Analysis In this appendix, we have collected some results of functional analysis and matrix algebra. Since the computational aspects are in the foreground in this book, we give separate proofs for the linear algebraic and functional analyses, although finite-dimensional spaces are special cases of Hilbert spaces. A.1 Linear Algebra A general reference concerning the results in this section is [47]. The following theorem gives the singular value decomposition of an arbitrary real matrix. Theorem A.1. Every matrix A ∈ Rm×n allows a decomposition A = UΛV T, where U ∈ Rm×m and V ∈ Rn×n are orthogonal matrices and Λ ∈ Rm×n is diagonal with nonnegative diagonal elements λj such that λ1 ≥ λ2 ≥ ··· ≥ λmin(m,n) ≥ 0. Proof: Before going to the proof, we recall that a diagonal matrix is of the form ⎡ ⎤ λ1 0 ... 00... 0 ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ ⎢ 0 λ2 . ⎥ Λ = = [diag(λ ,...,λm), 0] , ⎢ . ⎥ 1 ⎣ . .. ⎦ 0 ... λm 0 ... 0 if m ≤ n, and 0 denotes a zero matrix of size m×(n−m). Similarly, if m>n, Λ is of the form 312 A Appendix: Linear Algebra and Functional Analysis ⎡ ⎤ λ1 0 ... 0 ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ ⎢ 0 λ2 . ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ . .. ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ diag(λ ,...,λn) Λ = ⎢ ⎥ = 1 , ⎢ λn ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ 0 ⎢ 0 ... 0 ⎥ ⎢ . ⎥ ⎣ . ⎦ 0 ... 0 where 0 is a zero matrix of the size (m − n) × n. Briefly, we write Λ = diag(λ1,...,λmin(m,n)). n Let A = λ1, and we assume that λ1 =0.Let x ∈ R be a unit vector m with Ax = A ,andy =(1/λ1)Ax ∈ R , i.e., y is also a unit vector. We n m pick vectors v2,...,vn ∈ R and u2,...,um ∈ R such that {x, v2,...,vn} n is an orthonormal basis in R and {y,u2,...,um} is an orthonormal basis in Rm, respectively.

    FABER-KRAHN INEQUALITIES FOR SCHRODINGER¨ OPERATORS WITH POINT AND WITH COULOMB INTERACTIONS VLADIMIR LOTOREICHIK AND ALESSANDRO MICHELANGELI ABSTRACT. We obtain new Faber-Krahn-type inequalities for certain perturba- tions of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain. First, we establish a two- and three-dimensional Faber-Krahn inequality for the Schr¨odinger operator with point interaction: the optimiser is the ball with the point interaction supported at its centre. Next, we establish three-dimensional Faber-Krahn inequalities for one- and two-body Schr¨odinger operator with attractive Coulomb interactions, the optimiser being given in terms of Coulomb attraction at the centre of the ball. The proofs of such results are based on symmetric decreasing rearrangement and Steiner rearrangement techniques; in the first model a careful analysis of certain monotonicity properties of the lowest eigenvalue is also needed. 1. Background and outline In this work we produce two types of generalisations of a famous, one century old, optimisation result due to G. Faber [31] and E. Krahn [49]. Whereas our applications concern two distinct operators of interest, the conceptual scheme of the proofs and the technical tools utilised are similar in both cases, which is the reason we should like to present both results on the same footing. In its original formulation Faber-Krahn inequality states that amongst all domains Ω ⊂ Rd, d ≥ 2, with the same given finite volume, the lowest (principal) eigen- value of the negative Dirichlet Laplacian is minimised by the ball. This is an archetypal result in the vast and ever growing field of variational methods for eigenvalue approximation and spectral optimisation.

    Functional Analysis and Optimization

    Functional Analysis and Optimization Kazufumi Ito∗ November 29, 2016 Abstract In this monograph we develop the function space method for optimization problems and operator equations in Banach spaces. Optimization is the one of key components for mathematical modeling of real world problems and the solution method provides an accurate and essential description and validation of the mathematical model. Op- timization problems are encountered frequently in engineering and sciences and have widespread practical applications.In general we optimize an appropriately chosen cost functional subject to constraints. For example, the constraints are in the form of equal- ity constraints and inequality constraints. The problem is casted in a function space and it is important to formulate the problem in a proper function space framework in order to develop the accurate theory and the effective algorithm. Many of the constraints for the optimization are governed by partial differential and functional equations. In order to discuss the existence of optimizers it is essential to develop a comprehensive treatment of the constraints equations. In general the necessary optimality condition is in the form of operator equations. Non-smooth optimization becomes a very basic modeling toll and enlarges and en- hances the applications of the optimization method in general. For example, in the classical variational formulation we analyze the non Newtonian energy functional and nonsmooth friction penalty. For the imaging/signal analysis the sparsity optimization is used by means of L1 and TV regularization. In order to develop an efficient solu- tion method for large scale optimizations it is essential to develop a set of necessary conditions in the equation form rather than the variational inequality.

    A Spectral Theory of Linear Operators on Rigged Hilbert Spaces

    A spectral theory of linear operators on rigged Hilbert spaces under analyticity conditions Institute of Mathematics for Industry, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, 819-0395, Japan Hayato CHIBA 1 Jul 29, 2011; last modified Sep 12, 2014 Abstract A spectral theory of linear operators on rigged Hilbert spaces (Gelfand triplets) is devel- oped under the assumptions that a linear operator T on a Hilbert space is a perturbation of a selfadjoint operator, and the spectral measure of the selfadjoint operatorH has an an- alytic continuation near the real axis in some sense. It is shown that there exists a dense 1 subspace X of such that the resolvent (λ T)− φ of the operator T has an analytic H − continuation from the lower half plane to the upper half plane as an X′-valued holomor- phic function for any φ X, even when T has a continuous spectrum on R, where X′ is ∈ a dual space of X. The rigged Hilbert space consists of three spaces X X′. A ⊂ H ⊂ generalized eigenvalue and a generalized eigenfunction in X′ are defined by using the an- alytic continuation of the resolvent as an operator from X into X′. Other basic tools of the usual spectral theory, such as a spectrum, resolvent, Riesz projection and semigroup are also studied in terms of a rigged Hilbert space. They prove to have the same properties as those of the usual spectral theory. The results are applied to estimate asymptotic behavior of solutions of evolution equations. Keywords: generalized eigenvalue; resonance pole; rigged Hilbert space; Gelfand triplet; generalized function 1 Introduction A spectral theory of linear operators on topological vector spaces is one of the central issues in functional analysis.
