Bøger af P.R. Halmos

This volume contains two introductory essays, one by Nathaniel Friedman on Halmos's work in ergodic theory, one by Donald Sarason on Halmos's work in operator theory.

A selection of the mathematical writings of Paul R. Halmos (1916 - 2006) is presented in two Volumes. Volume I consists of research publications plus two papers of a more expository nature on Hilbert Space. The remaining expository articles and all the popular writings appear in this second volume.

The first part consists of problems, frequently preceded by definitions and motivation, and sometimes followed by corollaries and historical remarks... The third part, the longest, consists of solutions: proofs, answers, or contructions, depending on the nature of the problem....This is not an introduction to Hilbert space theory.
