This text, part of the "Springer Classics of Mathematics" series, examines perturbation theory for linear operators.
From the reviews: "[β¦] An excellent textbook in the theory of linear operators in Banach and Hilbert spaces. It is a thoroughly worthwhile reference work both for graduate students in functional analysis as well as for researchers in perturbation, spectral, and scattering theory. [β¦] I can recommend
<p>In view of recent development in perturbation theory, supplementary notes and a supplementary bibliography are added at the end of the new edition. Little change has been made in the text except that the paraΒ graphs V-Β§ 4.5, VI-Β§ 4.3, and VIII-Β§ 1.4 have been completely rewritten, and a number o
<p>This book is a slightly expanded reproduction of the first two chapters (plus Introduction) of my book Perturbation Theory tor Linear Operators, Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften 132, Springer 1980. Ever since, or even before, the publication of the latter, there have been suggestions
