The first book to assemble the wide body of theory which has rapidly developed on the dynamics of linear operators. Written for researchers in operator theory,

It is commonly believed that chaos is linked to non-linearity, however many (even quite natural) linear dynamical systems exhibit chaotic behavior. The study of

Provides a graduate-level introduction to the theory of semigroups of operators.

Publisher Description

This textbook introduces spectral theory for bounded linear operators by focusing on (i) the spectral theory and functional calculus for normal operators acting
