Preface

These notes are a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on Functional Analysis and Related Topics, 1991, held at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto University, Japan, on July 29 ­ August 2, 1991. Approximately 180 mathematicians from 7 countries attended the conference. The conference was organized by the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences as a special conference of the institute, and supported by the ICM­90 Commemorative Meeting Fund of the Mathematical Society of Japan, and by the Inoue Foundation. It was held in memory of Professor Kosaku Yosida who passed away a year before, on June 20, 1990 after a short illness. The Organizing Committee, consisting of M. Sato, H. Fujita, Y. Komura and H. Komatsu, invited 27 speakers who carryon Professor Yosida's research tradition. As the attached list of publications shows, Professor Yosida had a very wide interest in analysis, and guided many students, not only through personal contact but also through his numerous books, including his famous textbook "Functional Analysis" of which six distinct editions appeared. His collected works in English will soon be published by Springer Verlag. In 1969 an international conference of the same title was held in Tokyo on the occasion of his 60th anniversary. It covered Partial Differential Equations, Differential Equations on Manifolds, Hyperfunctions, Markov Processes and Potentials, and Ergodic Theory. This time the range of topics is more restricted, but we hope that some of these topics have deepened considerably since then
