Building on the success of the two previous editions, Introduction to Hilbert Spaces with Applications, Third Edition, offers an overview of the basic ideas and results of Hilbert space theory and functional analysis. It acquaints students with the Lebesgue integral, and includes an enhanced presentation of results and proofs. Students and researchers will benefit from the wealth of revised examples in new, diverse applications as they apply to optimization, variational and control problems, and problems in approximation theory, nonlinear instability, and bifurcation. The text also includes a popular chapter on wavelets that has been completely updated. Students and researchers agree that this is the definitive text on Hilbert Space theory. - Updated chapter on wavelets - Improved presentation on results and proof - Revised examples and updated applications - Completely updated list of references

This book provides a modern and up-to-date treatment of the Hilberttransform of distributions and the space of periodic distributions.Taking a simple and effective approach to a complex subject, thisvolume is a first-rate textbook at the graduate level as well as anextremely useful reference for mathematicians, applied scientists,and engineers. The author, a leading authority in the field, shares with thereader many new results from his exhaustive research on the Hilberttransform of Schwartz distributions. He describes in detail how touse the Hilbert transform to solve theoretical and physicalproblems in a wide range of disciplines; these include aerofoilproblems, dispersion relations, high-energy physics, potentialtheory problems, and others. Innovative at every step, J. N. Pandey provides a new definitionfor the Hilbert transform of periodic functions, which isespecially useful for those working in the area of signalprocessing for computational purposes. This definition could alsoform the basis for a unified theory of the Hilbert transform ofperiodic, as well as nonperiodic, functions. The Hilbert transform and the approximate Hilbert transform ofperiodic functions are worked out in detail for the first time inbook form and can be used to solve Laplace's equation with periodicboundary conditions. Among the many theoretical results proved inthis book is a Paley-Wiener type theorem giving thecharacterization of functions and generalized functions whoseFourier transforms are supported in certain orthants of Rn. Placing a strong emphasis on easy application of theory andtechniques, the book generalizes the Hilbert problem in higherdimensions and solves it in function spaces as well as ingeneralized function spaces. It simplifies the one-dimensionaltransform of distributions; provides solutions to thedistributional Hilbert problems and singular integral equations;and covers the intrinsic definition of the testing function spacesand its topology. The book includes exercises and review material for all majortopics, and incorporates classical and distributional problems intothe main text. Thorough and accessible, it explores new ways to usethis important integral transform, and reinforces its value in bothmathematical research and applied science. The Hilbert transform made accessible with many new formulas anddefinitions Written by today's foremost expert on the Hilbert transform ofgeneralized functions, this combined text and reference covers theHilbert transform of distributions and the space of periodicdistributions. The author provides a consistently accessibletreatment of this advanced-level subject and teaches techniquesthat can be easily applied to theoretical and physical problemsencountered by mathematicians, applied scientists, and graduatestudents in mathematics and engineering. Introducing many new inversion formulas that have been developedand applied by the author and his research associates, the book: * Provides solutions to the distributional Hilbert problem andsingular integral equations * Focuses on the Hilbert transform of Schwartz distributions,giving intrinsic definitions of the space H(D) and its topology * Covers the Paley-Wiener theorem and provides many importanttheoretical results of importance to research mathematicians * Provides the characterization of functions and generalizedfunctions whose Fourier transforms are supported in certainorthants of Rn * Offers a new definition of the Hilbert transform of the periodicfunction that can be used for computational purposes in signalprocessing * Develops the theory of the Hilbert transform of periodicdistributions and the approximate Hilbert transform of periodicdistributions * Provides exercises at the end of each chapter--useful toprofessors in planning assignments, tests, and problems

This book is an introduction to the theory of Hilbert space, a fundamental tool for non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Linear, topological, metric, and normed spaces are all addressed in detail, in a rigorous but reader-friendly fashion. The rationale for an introduction to the theory of Hilbert space, rather than a detailed study of Hilbert space theory itself, resides in the very high mathematical difficulty of even the simplest physical case. Within an ordinary graduate course in physics there is insufficient time to cover the theory of Hilbert spaces and operators, as well as distribution theory, with sufficient mathematical rigor. Compromises must be found between full rigor and practical use of the instruments. The book is based on the author's lessons on functional analysis for graduate students in physics. It will equip the reader to approach Hilbert space and, subsequently, rigged Hilbert space, with a more practical attitude. With respect to the original lectures, the mathematical flavor in all subjects has been enriched. Moreover, a brief introduction to topological groups has been added in addition to exercises and solved problems throughout the text. With these improvements, the book can be used in upper undergraduate and lower graduate courses, both in Physics and in Mathematics.

This textbook is an introduction to the theory of Hilbert space and its applications. The notion of Hilbert space is central in functional analysis and is used in numerous branches of pure and applied mathematics. Dr Young has stressed applications of the theory, particularly to the solution of partial differential equations in mathematical physics and to the approximation of functions in complex analysis. Some basic familiarity with real analysis, linear algebra and metric spaces is assumed, but otherwise the book is self-contained. It is based on courses given at the University of Glasgow and contains numerous examples and exercises (many with solutions). Thus it will make an excellent first course in Hilbert space theory at either undergraduate or graduate level and will also be of interest to electrical engineers and physicists, particularly those involved in control theory and filter design.
