Generalized Functions, Operator Theory, and Dynamical Systems

Nobel prize winner Ilya Prigogine writes in his preface: "Irreversibility is a challenge to mathematics...[which] leads to generalized functions and to an extension of spectral analysis beyond the conventional Hilbert space theory." Meeting this challenge required new mathematical formulations-obstacles met and largely overcome thanks primarily to the contributors to this volume."This compilation of works grew out of material presented at the "Hyperfunctions, Operator Theory and Dynamical System
