Integration and Modern Analysis [Hardcover]

This textbook and treatise begins with classical real variables, develops the Lebesgue theory abstractly and for Euclidean space, and analyzes the structure of measures. The authors' vision of modern real analysis is seen in their fascinating historical commentary and perspectives with other fields. There are comprehensive treatments of the role of absolute continuity, the evolution of the Riesz representation theorem to Radon measures and distribution theory, weak convergence of measures and the Dieudonn?Grothendieck theorem, modern differentiation theory, fractals and self-similarity, rearrangements and maximal functions, and surface and Hausdorff measures. There are hundreds of illuminating exercises, and extensive, focused appendices on functional and Fourier analysis. The presentation is ideal for the classroom, self-study, or professional reference.

This book is both a text and a paean to twentieth-century real variables, measure theory, and integration theory. As a text, the book is aimed at graduate students. As an exposition, extolling this area of analysis, the book is necessarily limited in scope and perhaps unnecessarily unlimited in id- syncrasy. More than half of this book is a fundamental graduate real variables course as we now teach it. Since there are excellent textbooks that generally cover the course material herein, part of this Preface renders an apologia for our content, presentation, and existence. The following section presents our syllabus properly liberated from too many demands. Subsequent sections dealwithoutline,theme,features,andtherolesofFourieranalysisandVitali, respectively.
