Description:
In this revised and extended version of his course notes from a 1-year course at Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, the author provides an introduction - for an audience knowing basic functional analysis and measure theory but not necessarily probability theory - to analysis in a separable Hilbert space of infinite dimension. Moreover, some details have been added as well as some new material on dynamical systems with dissipative nonlinearities and asymptotic behavior for gradient systems.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This is an extended version of the author's 'An introduction to infinite-dimensional analysis' published by Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa ... . A well written textbook (even an introductory research monograph), suitable for teaching a graduate course." (Neils Jacob, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1109 (11), 2007)
"The present volume collects together ... the notes of the course on infinite-dimensional analysis held by the author at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa in recent years. The book is intended for people who have some knowledge of functional analysis ... . It provides an extremely useful tool for those scholars who are interested in learning some basics about Gaussian measures in Hilbert spaces, Brownian motion, Markov transition semigroups ... . The book is well written and all arguments are clearly and rigorously presented." (Sandra Cerrai, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 a)
