This is an essentially self-contained book on the theory of convex functions and convex optimization in Banach spaces, with a special interest in Orlicz spaces.
This textbook describes selected topics in functional analysis as powerful tools of immediate use in many fields within applied mathematics, physics and engineering.
This book, written by two experts in the field, deals with classes of iterative methods for the approximate solution of fixed points equations for operators satisfying a special contractivity condition, the Fejer property.
These Proceedings form a record of the lectures presented at the interna- tional Conference on Functional Analysis and Approximation held at the Ober- wolfach Mathematical Research Institute, August 9-16, 1980.
In this treatise we present the semigroup approach to quasilinear evolution equa- of parabolic type that has been developed over the last ten years, approxi- tions mately.
Incomplete second order linear differential equations in Banach spaces as well as first order equations have become a classical part of functional analysis.
In this book we shall study linear functional equations of the form m bu(x) == Lak(X)U(Qk(X)) = f(x), (1) k=l where U is an unknown function from a given space F(X) of functions on a set X, Qk: X -+ X are given mappings, ak and f are given functions.

This volume presents the refereed proceedings of the Conference in Operator The- ory in Honour of Moshe Livsic 80th Birthday, held June 29 to July 4, 1997, at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (Beer-Sheva, Israel) and at the Weizmann In- stitute of Science (Rehovot, Israel).
This volume contains the Proceedings of the International Workshop Variational Methods For Discontinuous Structures, which was jointly organized by the Dipar- timento di Matematica Francesco Brioschi of Milano Politecnico and the Interna- tional School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) of Trieste.
This volume contains research articles from the field of Nonlinear Differential Equa- tions which result from the "e;Workshop on Nonlinear Analysis and Applications"e; held in Bergamo on July 9 to 13, 200l.
The aim of the book is to present the state of the art of the theory of symmetric (Hermitian) matrix Riccati equations and to contribute to the development of the theory of non-symmetric Riccati equations as well as to certain classes of coupled and generalized Riccati equations occurring in differential games and stochastic control.
As mentioned in the Introduction to Volume I, the present monograph is intended both for mathematicians interested in applications of the theory of linear operators and operator-functions to problems of hydrodynamics, and for researchers of applied hydrodynamic problems, who want to study these problems by means of the most recent achievements in operator theory.
A beautiful interplay between probability theory (Markov processes, martingale theory) on the one hand and operator and spectral theory on the other yields a uniform treatment of several kinds of Hamiltonians such as the Laplace operator, relativistic Hamiltonian, Laplace-Beltrami operator, and generators of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes.
Over the last years, stochastic analysis has had an enormous progress with the impetus originating from different branches of mathematics: PDE's and the Malliavin calculus, quantum physics, path space analysis on curved manifolds via probabilistic methods, and more.
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Workshop on Operator Theory and Applications held at the University of Algarve in Faro, Portugal, September 12-15, in the year 2000.
This book presents recent results from the following areas: spectral analysis of one-dimensional Schrodinger and Jacobi operators, discrete WKB analysis of solutions of second order difference equations, and applications of functional models of non-selfadjoint operators.
