Topological Vector Spaces, Second Edition (Chapman & Hall/CRC Pure and Applied Mathematics) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Topological Vector Spaces provides a detailed survey of functional analysis. It covers such basic principles as the Banach-Steinhaus ... Hahn-Banach ... and Krein-Milman -- and includes a closed graph theorem with an introduction to webbed spaces. Supplemented by numerous examples and exercises, this volume provides a solid foundation for anyone interested in distribution theory. Topological Vector Spaces is important reading for analysts, physicists and engineers interested in distribution theory, and graduate-level and professional researchers in functional analysis.

Review
Besides a general renovation, the text has improved the topics related to the Hahn-Banach theorem ... there is a whole new chapter on vector-valued Hahn-Banach theorems and an enlarged presentation of the Banach-Stone theorems. The text remains a nice expository book on the fundamentals of the theory of topological vector spaces.
―Luis Manuel Sanchez Ruiz, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012a
This is a nicely written, easy-to-read expository book of the classical theory of topological vector spaces. ... The proofs are complete and very detailed. ... The comprehensive exposition and the quantity and variety of exercises make the book really useful for beginners and make the material more easily accessible than the excellent classical monographs by Köthe or Schaefer. ... this is a well-written book, with comprehensive proofs, many exercises and informative new sections of historical character, that presents in an accessible way the classical theory of locally convex topological vector spaces and that can be useful especially for beginners interested in this topic.

Praise for the First Edition:
This is a very carefully written introduction to topological vector spaces. But it is more. The enthusiasm of the authors for their subject, their untiring efforts to motivate and explain the ideas and proofs, and the abundance of well-chosen exercises make the book an initiation into a fascinating new world. The reader will feel that he does not get only one aspect of this field but that he really gets the whole picture.
