✦ Synopsis
More recent and very promising applications of Functional Analysis are discussed. This approach has not yet produced results as complete as the classical, but when fully developed and integrated with the classical approach it may have an even wider scope.
We seem to be at the beginning of a new road. Purely mathematical concepts are emerging here as new and useful tools, among them spline approximation (approximation suitably welded piecewise polynomial curves) and approximation of functions of several variables. The latter topic appears particularly attractive to the reviewer who was brought up on the classical theory of approximation.
