Informationen zum Autor Marian B. Pour-El works in the School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. Klappentext Since their inception, the Perspectives in Logic and Lecture Notes in Logic series have published seminal works by leading logicians. Many of the original books in the series have been unavailable for years, but they are now in print once again. In this volume, the first publication in the Perspectives in Logic series, Pour-El and Richards present the first graduate-level treatment of computable analysis within the tradition of classical mathematical reasoning. The book focuses on the computability or noncomputability of standard processes in analysis and physics. Topics include classical analysis, Hilbert and Banach spaces, bounded and unbounded linear operators, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and equations of mathematical physics. The work is self-contained, and although it is intended primarily for logicians and analysts, it should also be of interest to researchers and graduate students in physics and computer science. Zusammenfassung This is the first graduate-level treatment of computable analysis within the tradition of classical mathematical reasoning. The authors are concerned with the computability or noncomputability of standard processes in analysis and physics. The book is self-contained and serves well as an introduction to research in this area. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; Prerequisites from logic and analysis; Part I.
