Concrete Functional Calculus

Richard M. Dudley is a professor of mathematics at MIT. He has published over a hundred papers in peer-reviewed journals and two books. He was one of three lecturers in the 1982 St.-Flour Summer School in Probability, published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Mathematics series in 1984. Rimas Norvaisa is a principal researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics in Lithuania. Dudley and Norvaisa have written one previous book together in 1999 for Springer's Lecture Notes in Mathematics series, entitled "Differentiability of Six Operators on Nonsmooth Functions and P-Variation".

From the reviews: "This monograph is a thorough and masterful work on non-linear analysis designed to be read and studied by graduate students and professional mathematical researchers. The overall perspective and choice of material is highly novel and original. ... It is a unique account of some key areas of modern analysis which will surely turn out to be invaluable for many researchers in this and related areas." (David Applebaum, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 98 (541), March, 2014) "The present monograph is quite extensive and interesting. It is divided into twelve chapters on different topics on Functional calculus and an appendix on non-atomic measure spaces. ... The book has many historical comments and remarks which clarify the developments of the theory. It has also an extensive bibliography with 258 references. ... will be very useful for all interested readers in Real-Functional Analysis and Probability." (Francisco L. Hernandez, The European Mathematical Society, January, 2012) "The monograph under review aims at analyzing properties such as Holder continuity, differentiability and analyticity of various types of nonlinear operators which arises in the study of differential and integral equations and in applications to problems of statistics and probability. ... this is an interesting book which contains a lot of material."
