Functional Analysis and its Applications Proceedings of the International Conference on Functional Analysis and its Applications dedicated to the 110th Anniversary of Stefan Banach, May 28-31, 2002, Lviv, Ukraine North-Holland Mathematics Studies Series

The conference took place in Lviv, Ukraine and was dedicated to a famous Polish mathematician Stefan Banach ?{ the most outstanding representative of the Lviv mathematical school. Banach spaces, introduced by Stefan Banach at the beginning of twentieth century, are familiar now to every mathematician. The book contains a short historical article and scientific contributions of the conference participants, mostly in the areas of functional analysis, general topology, operator theory and related topics.
