Description

Book Synopsis
This authoritative text presents a broad view of the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint linear operators and contains many illustrative examples and exercises. Topics discussed include Fredholm theory, Hilbert-Schmidt and trace class operators, one-parameter semigroups, perturbations of their generators and a thorough account of the new theory of pseudospectra.

Trade Review
'One will look in vain for the notions of pseudospectrum, hull and numerical range in standard functional analysis texts, so Davies has done us a great service by explaining them through beautiful theorems and examples. More generally, his book is the first to offer a comprehensive survey of the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint operators, including both 'classical' and 'cutting edge' results, showing that this theory holds as much promise as the self-adjoint theory in both foundations and application. The scope of the book is truly enormous and is only partly reflected by listing the chapter titles … [a] beautiful volume, which has no competitors.' The Mathematical Intelligencer
