Topological Vector Spaces - Chapters 1-5 (Paperback, 1st ed. 1987. 2nd printing 2002)

This is a softcover reprint of the English translation of 1987 of the second edition of Bourbaki's Espaces Vectoriels Topologiques (1981).This [second edition] is a brand new book and completely supersedes the original version of nearly 30 years ago. But a lot of the material has been rearranged, rewritten, or replaced by a more up-to-date exposition, and a good deal of new material has been incorporated in this book, all reflecting the progress made in the field during the last three decades.Table of Contents.Chapter I: Topological vector spaces over a valued field.Chapter II: Convex sets and locally convex spaces.Chapter III: Spaces of continuous linear mappings.Chapter IV: Duality in topological vector spaces.Chapter V: Hilbert spaces (elementary theory).
