Abstract

This chapter is devoted to function and distribution spaces. We first recall definitions of some well-known classical function and distribution spaces, simultaneously introducing the terminology and notations used in this book. Then we introduce (see Section 1.10) a new class of test functions and the corresponding space of distributions (generalized functions), which play an important role in the theory of pseudo-differential operators with singular symbols introduced in Chapter 2 By singular symbols we mean, if not otherwise assumed, symbols singular in dual variables.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In fact, (L(Ω)) is isomorphic to the space of finite Borel measures with the total variation norm. The latter contains L 1 (Ω) as a linear subspace, see, e.g., [Tri77].
