This Proceedings Volume contains 32 articles on various interesting areas of
present-day functional analysis and its applications: Banach spaces and
their geometry, operator ideals, Banach and operator algebras, operator and
spectral theory, Frechet spaces and algebras, function and sequence spaces.
The authors have taken much care with their articles and many papers present
important results and methods in active fields of research. Several survey
type articles (at the beginning and the end of the book) will be very useful
for mathematicians who want to learn "what is going on" in some particular
field of research.
