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)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
