TY - BOOK AU - Schechter, Martin TI - Principles of functional analysis SN - 9780821848562 U1 - 515.7 PY - 2002/// CY - Hyderabad PB - Universities Press (India) Pvt. Ltd. KW - Functional analysis N2 - This Second Edition incorporates many new developments while not overshadowing the book's original flavor. Areas in the book that demonstrate its unique character have been strengthened. In particular, new material concerning Fredholm and semi-Fredholm operators is introduced, requiring minimal effort as the necessary machinery was already in place. Several new topics are presented, but relate to only those concepts and methods emanating from other parts of the book. These topics include perturbation classes, measures of noncompactness, strictly singular operators, and operator constants.
