This is a softcover reprint of the 1987 English translation of the second edition of Bourbaki's Espaces Vectoriels Topologiques. Much of the material has been rearranged, rewritten, or replaced by a more up-to-date exposition, and a good deal of new material has been incorporated in this book, reflecting decades of progress in the field.
This is a softcover reprint of the English translation of 1987 of the second edition of Bourbaki's Espaces Vectoriels Topologiques (1981).
This Äsecond editionÜ is a brand new book and completely supersedes the original version of nearly 30 years ago. But a lot of the material has been rearranged, rewritten, or replaced by a more up-to-date exposition, and a good deal of new material has been incorporated in this book, all reflecting the progress made in the field during the last three decades.
Table of Contents.
Chapter I: Topological vector spaces over a valued field.
Chapter II: Convex sets and locally convex spaces.
Chapter III: Spaces of continuous linear mappings.
Chapter IV: Duality in topological vector spaces.
Chapter V: Hilbert spaces (elementary theory).
Finally, there are the usual "historical note", bibliography, index of notation, index of terminology, and a list of some important properties of Banach spaces.
