Progress in Functional Analysis (Electronic book text)

This volume includes a collection of research articles in
Functional Analysis, celebrating the occasion of Manuel Valdivia's
sixtieth birthday. The papers included in the volume are based
on the main lectures presented during the international
functional analysis meeting held in Peniscola
(Valencia, Spain) in October 1990.

During his career, Valdivia
has made contributions to a wide variety of areas of Functional
Analysis and his work has had a profound impact. A thorough
appreciation of Valdivia's work is presented in J.
Horvath's article. In honor of Valdivia's achievements, this volume presents more than twenty-five papers on topics related to his research
(Banach spaces, operator ideals, tensor products, Frechet,
(DF) and (LF) spaces, distribution theory, infinite holomorphy
etc.). While the majority of papers are research articles, survey articles are also included. The book covers a broad spectrum of interests in today's Functional Analysis and presents new results by leading specialists in the field.
