This is an introduction to modern Banach space theory, in which applications to other areas such as harmonic analysis, function theory, orthogonal series, and approximation theory are also given prominence. The author begins with a discussion of weak topologies, weak compactness, and isomorphisms of Banach spaces before proceeding to the more detailed study of particular spaces. The book is intended to be used with graduate courses in Banach space theory, so the prerequisites are a background in functional, complex, and real analysis. As the only introduction to the modern theory of Banach...

This book presents a mathematical introduction to the theory of orthogonal wavelets and their uses in analyzing functions and function spaces, both in one and in several variables. Starting with a detailed and self-contained discussion of the general construction of one dimensional wavelets from multiresolution analysis, the book presents in detail the most important wavelets: spline wavelets, Meyer's wavelets and wavelets with compact support. It then moves to the corresponding multivariable theory and gives genuine multivariable examples. The author discusses wavelet decompositions in Lp...
