The material includes measure and integration, metric spaces, the ‘elements of functional analysis in Banach spaces, and spectral theory in Hilbert spaces, There are various books in the literature where all these topics are dealt with; however, we have not Feit that we could use any of them system- atically as a text book. They are either written at a level not consistent with that of a first-year graduate student or else they do not have the choice of topics we would like to see. In Chapters | and 2 we present the theory of measure and integration. Ithas been our experience that there are too many definitions and too many theorems for the student to memorize, and that as a result of this, he often fails to grasp what is really essential in the theory. This motivated us to cut down on many details and to give a general, yet compact, presentation, In Chapters 3 to 6 we present the most fundamental theorems of func At the same time we give some applications to important problems in ordinary and partial differential equations, and in integral equations. This, we hope, will illustrate to the student the invaluable role played by functional analysis in solving conerete problems in analysis. ‘At the end of cach section there are problems for the reader. The solu- tion of some of these problems is used in the text itself “The material of this book is somewhat more than can be covered in a one-year course, One might omit some topics that are rather independent of the fest of the material, such as Section 3,3, Theorem 3.6.3, Section 3.7, and Sections 4.2, 4.11, and 4.12 (with the exception of Theorem 4.12.3). The applications of functional analysis to differential and integral equations and. to the Dirichlet problem are given in Sections 3.3, 3.8, 4.7, 4.9, 5.4, and 6.9.

E= (x5 $09) <9) = U [05 £0) rad] Since each set on the right is measurable, F is also measurable. When we consider the sum f+ g of two measurable functions f and g, we always tacitly assume that at_no point x, f(x) = 00, g(x)=—00 oF J(8) =~, g(x) = 00. Similarly, when We consider the product fg, we always assume that at no point x, f(x) = 0, g(x) = £00 or f(x) = 400, g(x) = 0. Theorem 2.2.2 If £ and g are measurable functions, then {+ ¢ and fg ‘are measurable functions. Proof.

Coinbining Theorems 3.5.1-3.54, we get Corollary 38.5 A compact subset of a metric space is closed, bounded, ‘and separable. Definition A subset K of a metric space X is called totally bounded if for any ¢>O there is a finite number of bails B(x,e), with x;¢X, that cover K. These balls are said to form an e-cocering. Theorem 3.5.6 Let X be a complete metric space. A closed subset K is compact if and only if it is totally bounded. Proof. Suppose K is compact, For any 6>0, the class of ball {B(x,2); x € K} forms an open covering'of K, Hence there is a finite subclass, say (Blxe); i= L,...m}, that covers K. Thus K is totally bounded. Conversely, let K be closed and totally bounded, We shall prove that K is sequentially compact. Let {»,} be a sequence of points in K. Take a finite I-covering of K: {B(%,1),~.B(ql)}.

Then any sequence {f,} of functions of H has a subsequence that és uniformly convergent in X to a continuous function. Proof, Let {xq} be a dense sequence in X. Since the sequence {f0%1)} is bounded, there is a subsequence {/,,(,)} that is convergent. Next, the sequence (J,.(%)} is bounded. Hence it has a subsequence {f,a(%,)} that is convergent. We proceed in this way step by step. In the kth step, we extract fa convergent subsequence {f,4(%)} of the bounded sequence {fa1-1(%)} Consider now te diagonal sequence {J} of the double sequence { aand write 4, = Jaye Then {40%} i8 convergent for every k, since, except the frst k terms, it isa subsequence of (/, (4%) We shall prove that {g,} is uniformly convergent in X.

Thus, f(x) is continuous, and the proof of the theorem is complete. 14 Metric spaces For any compact metric space X, we denote by C(X) the space of all functions /(x) that are continuous on X. We introduce in this space the uniform metric CS.G) = max | f(x) — 9(%). (3.6.5) C(X) is then a metric space. It is easily seen that C(X) is also complete, Definition A subset K of a metric space is called relatively compact (or conditionally compact) if its closure K is compact. ‘We can now state criterion for relative compactness of subsets of C(X).
