The interest of these authors lies in explicit, canonical-form characterizations of isometries on Banach spaces, and in this monograph, they explore the topic in the context of classical function spaces. Designed for both experts and beginners in the field, their treatment presents a history of the subject, the important results, and a look at some of the wide variety of methods used in addressing the characterization problem in various types of spaces. The authors faithfully report the results of other researchers' original papers and offer some enlightening clarifications. Each chapter is self-contained and includes notes and remarks that touch upon related results and other approaches not addressed in the main text. Focuses on isometries on function spaces Presents the material according to the different classes of Banach spaces Offers self-contained chapters that allow readers to go immediately to any particular point of interest Includes an extensive bibliography
