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:
“In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, High-Tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit—if totally different in form—from all the romantic architecture of the past.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
“Analysis as an instrument of enlightenment and civilization is good, in so far as it shatters absurd convictions, acts as a solvent upon natural prejudices, and undermines authority; good, in other words, in that it sets free, refines, humanizes, makes slaves ripe for freedom. But it is bad, very bad, in so far as it stands in the way of action, cannot shape the vital forces, maims life at its roots. Analysis can be a very unappetizing affair, as much so as death.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
