Download or read book Locally Convex Spaces over Non-Archimedean Valued Fields written by C. Perez-Garcia and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-07 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Archimedean functional analysis, where alternative but equally valid number systems such as p-adic numbers are fundamental, is a fast-growing discipline widely used not just within pure mathematics, but also applied in other sciences, including physics, biology and chemistry. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive treatment of non-Archimedean locally convex spaces. The authors provide a clear exposition of the basic theory, together with complete proofs and new results from the latest research. A guide to the many illustrative examples provided, end-of-chapter notes and glossary of terms all make this book easily accessible to beginners at the graduate level, as well as specialists from a variety of disciplines.
