Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to recall, without proof, the main results in functional analysis: classical theorems about Fréchet, Hilbert, and Banach spaces, as well as fixed point theorems and an introduction to spectral theory. This is complemented by the main definitions in distributions theory, including results about the Fourier transform.
