Publisher's Synopsis
The first of two volumes based on a series of lectures given at Indiana University as a part of the Special Year in Operator Theory 1985-86 is directed toward the study of single linear operators, while the second is concerned with the study of algebras of bounded linear operators on Hilbert space.;Each of the lecture series during the year aimed to develop a topic of current interest in operator theory, starting from a point accessible to advanced graduate students in the area and proceeding rapidly to current and future researchers.
