Functional Analysis
Functional analysis is organized around adequate techniques to bring function spaces as topological vector spaces within reach of the ideas that would apply to normed spaces of finite dimension.
- Schwartz space of smooth functions of rapid decrease and its dual, tempered distributions
- Lp space
- κ(R) continuous functions with compact support endowed with the uniform norm topology
- B(R) bounded continuous (Bounded function)
- C∞(R) continuous functions which vanish at infinity
- Cr(R) continuous functions that have continuous first r derivatives.
- C∞(R) Smooth functions
- C∞c smooth functions with compact support
- D(R) compact support in limit topology
- Wk,p Sobolev space
- OU holomorphic functions
- linear functions
- piecewise linear functions
- continuous functions, compact open topology
- all functions, space of pointwise convergence
- Hardy space
- Hölder space
- Càdlàg functions, also known as the Skorokhod space

Famous quotes containing the words functional and/or analysis:
“Stay-at-home mothers, . . . their self-esteem constantly assaulted, . . . are ever more fervently concerned that their offspring turn out better so they won’t have to stoop to say “I told you so.” Working mothers, . . . their self-esteem corroded by guilt, . . . are praying their kids turn out functional so they can stop being defensive and apologetic and instead assert “See? I did do it all.””
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
