Description
Book SynopsisPresents a systematic and unified study of geometric nonlinear functional analysis. This book presents a study of uniformly continuous and Lipschitz functions between Banach spaces, which leads naturally also to the classification of Banach spaces and of their important subsets (mainly spheres) in the uniform and Lipschitz categories.
