Spaces of continuous functions

Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to functional analysis (46-02) Banach spaces of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions (46E15) Function spaces in general topology (54C35)

Review text

In this well written and very readable monograph, the authors study various aspects of the space of continuous functions \(C(\Omega)\), where most often \(\Omega\) is a compact space. The last chapter also deals with situations when the scalars are integers. An appendix in 3 parts briefly prepares the reader towards some of the topics covered here.NEWLINENEWLINEThis is neither a research monograph nor a textbook, but combines the styles of both. It has exercises (with solutions and hints for selected exercises), it also has sections that the authors call `Extra', which contain assorted information, including further directions and historical tidbits. References are at the end of each section and there is no compendium at the end of the book.NEWLINENEWLINE I did not find a reference to the [The Banach space \(C(S)\). Aarhus: Matematisk Institut, Aarhus Universitet. II (1971; Zbl 0224.46026)] by \textit{W. G. Bade} (which was one of my standard sources, as a student).NEWLINENEWLINEI share the authors' preference for the topics covered here. Thus I am happy to see sections on Riesz spaces and generalities, Yosida's representation theorem, and the Riesz representation theorem. There is also a short section on Banach algebras.
