Description
This book presents functional analytic methods in a unified manner with applications to economics, social sciences, and engineering. Ideal for those without an extensive background in the area, it develops topology, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences, and the analytic approach to Markov processes. Many of the results were previously available only in esoteric monographs and will interest researchers and students who will find the material readily applicable to problems in control theory and economics.
