The volume contains the proceedings of a conference in ma- thematical economics held at the California Institute of Technology, April 16-20, 1990.The theme of the conference was to explore the functional analytic techniques (and in particular the theory of Riesz spaces and positive opera- tors)...

Presents a study of modern functional analysis. This book is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods. It develops the topological structures in connection with measure theory, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences...

This book is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods, but who does not have an extensive background and does not plan to make a career as a functional analyst. It develops topology, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences...

The purpose of this thesis, as implied by its title, is essentially two-fold. The first goal is to introduce and study the notion of properness, as well as some other concepts related to it. The importance of this property lies in the fact that in the infinite-dimensional case it effectively...
