Banach Spaces of Continuous Functions as Dual Spaces

This book gives a coherent account of the theory of Banach spaces and Banach lattices, using the spaces C_0(K) of continuous functions on a locally compact space K as the main example. The study of C_0(K) has been an important area of functional analysis

Preface

Let K be a locally compact space, and denote by C0 (K) the Banach space of all continuous functions on K that vanish at infinity, taken with the uniform norm. This fundamentally important and very familiar Banach space has been studied for many decades, and it arises in a va
