Spaces of Mappings and Rings of Continuous Functions

  • Chapter
General Topology III

Part of the book series: Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences ((EMS,volume 51))

Abstract

Passing to the limit in a set of functions is one of the most frequently encountered phenomena in mathematics. We meet it in the theory of differential equations, functional analysis, algebraic topology, differential geometry, probability theory, and in the various applications of these and other areas of mathematics.
