Functional Analysis (2285 words) |
 | Functional Equations with Causal Operators by C. Corduneanu is intended to provide basic theory of functional equations (including functional differential equations) with causal operators. |
 | One of the aims while teaching such topics was to present a unified treatment of existence theory, as well as other aspects of the theory of functional differential equations, including ordinary differential equations, equations with delayed argument (both finite and infinite), integral equations of Volterra type and integrodifferential equations involving Volterra inteĀgral operators. |
 | Beginning Functional Analysis by Karen Saxe (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics: Springer) The unifying approach of functional analysis is to view functions as points in some abstract vector space and the differential and integral operators relating these points as linear transĀformations on these spaces. |
