These volumes explore the mathematical work of this distinguished Russian thinker, with particular emphasis on his contribution to set theory and methods of mathematical approximation. It discusses his work on Functional Analysis, dealing with approximate calculation of certain types of definite integrals, and also a method for the approximate solution of partial differential equations. This is a useful reference for anyone interested the origin of a number of important mathematical ideas. Said to be the founding father of mathematical programming, Kantorovich was a true polymath, whose mathematical work had applications across a very broad field of subjects, particularly economics.
The present book is based on lectures given by the author at the University of Tokyo during the past ten years. It is intended as a textbook to be studied by students on their own or to be used in a course on Functional Analysis, i. e. , the general theory of linear operators in function spaces together with salient features of its application to diverse fields of modern and classical analysis. Necessary prerequisites for the reading of this book are summarized, with or without proof, in Chapter 0 under titles: Set Theory, Topo logical Spaces, Measure Spaces and Linear Spaces. Then, starting with the chapter on Semi-norms, a general theory of Banach and Hilbert spaces is presented in connect...
Part I of the Selected Works of L.V.Kantorovich is devoted to his mathematical work, with particular emphasis on the contribution he made to set theory and methods of mathematical approximation. The book begins with some chapters on the Descriptive Theory of Sets and Real Functions. Topics include universal functions, W.H. Young's classification, generalized derivatives of continuous functions and the H. Steinhaus problem. The book also includes papers on functional analysis in semi-ordered vector spaces, as well as articles relevant to the extension of Hilbert space in the spirit of distribution theory. This indispensable reference provides a record of the achievements of a man whose origin...
This book contains the most remarkable papers of L.V. Kantorovich in applied and numerical mathematics. It explores the principal directions of Kantorovich's research in approximate methods. The book covers descriptive set theory and functional analysis in semi-ordered vector spaces.
This book presents articles of L.V. Kantorovich on the descriptive theory of sets and function and on functional analysis in semi-ordered spaces, to demonstrate the unity of L.V. Kantorovich's creative research. It also includes two papers on the "extension of Hilbert space".
This book shows the importance of studying semilocal convergence in iterative methods through Newton's method and addresses the most important aspects of the Kantorovich's theory including implicated studies. Kantorovich's theory for Newton's method used techniques of functional analysis to prove the semilocal convergence of the method by means of the well-known majorant principle. To gain a deeper understanding of these techniques the authors return to the beginning and present a deep-detailed approach of Kantorovich's theory for Newton's method, where they include old results, for a historical perspective and for comparisons with new results, refine old results, and prove their most relevant results, where alternative approaches leading to new sufficient semilocal convergence criteria for Newton's method are given. The book contains many numerical examples involving nonlinear integral equations, two boundary value problems and systems of nonlinear equations related to numerous physical phenomena. The book is addressed to researchers in computational sciences, in general, and in approximation of solutions of nonlinear problems, in particular.
