Functional analysis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For functional analysis as used in psychology, see the functional analysis (psychology) article. In mathematics functional analysis is the branch of analysis concerned with the study of the vector spaces in which limit processes can be defined, and the linear operators acting upon these spaces that are (in some way) compatible with these limits. It has its historical roots in the study of spaces of functions and the formulation of properties of transformations of functions such as the Fourier transform as the transformation defining a continuous unitary etc. map between function spaces. This point of view turned out to be particularly useful for the study of differential and integral equations. The usage of the word functional goes back to the calculus of variations , implying a function whose argument is a function and the name was first used in Hadamard's 1910 book on that subject. The general concept of functional had however previously been introduced in 1887 by the Italian mathematician and physicist Vito Volterra . The theory of nonlinear functionals was continued by students of Hadamard, in particular Fréchet and Lévy. Hadamard also founded the modern school of linear functional analysis further developed by Riesz and the

Functional Analysis From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection Jump to: navigation search w:Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics ) The book aims to cover these two interests simultaneously. The book consists of two parts. The first part covers the basics of Banach spaces theory with the emphasis on its applications. The second part covers topological vector spaces, especially locally convex ones, generalization of Banach spaces. In both parts, we give principal results e.g., the closed graph theorem, resulting in some repetition. One reason for doing this organization is that one often only needs a Banach-version of such results. Another reason is that this approach seems more pedagogically sound; the statement of the results in their full generality may obscure its simplicity. Exercises are meant to be unintegrated part of the book. They can be skipped altogether, and the book should be fully read and understood. Some alternative proofs and additional results are relegated as exercises when their inclusion may disrupt the flow of the exposition. Knowledge of measure theory will not be needed except for Chapter 6, where we formulate the spectrum theorem in the language of measure theory. As for topology, knowledge of metric spaces suffices for Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. The solid background in general topology is required for the ensuing chapters.

State (functional analysis) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search In functional analysis , a state on a C*-algebra is a positive linear functional of norm 1. The set of states of a C*-algebra A , sometimes denoted by S A ), is always a convex set . The extremal points of S A ) are called pure states . If A has a multiplicative identity, S A ) is compact in the weak*-topology. In the C*-algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics, states in this previous sense correspond to physical states, i.e. mappings from physical observables to their expected measurement outcome.

By Gelfand representation , every commutative C*-algebra A is of the form C X ) for some locally compact Hausdorff X . In this case, S A ) consists of positive Radon measures on X , and the pure states are the evaluation functionals on X A bounded linear functional on a C*-algebra A is said to be self-adjoint if it is real-valued on the self-adjoint elements of A . Self-adjoint functionals are noncommutative analogues of signed measures The Jordan decomposition in measure theory says that every signed measure can be expressed as the difference of two positive measures supported on disjoint sets. This can be extended to the noncommutative setting.

Open mapping theorem (functional analysis) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search In functional analysis , the open mapping theorem , also known as the Banach–Schauder theorem , is a fundamental result which states that if a continuous linear operator between Banach spaces is surjective then it is an open map . More precisely, ( Rudin 1973 , Theorem 2.11): If X and Y are Banach spaces and A X Y is a surjective continuous linear operator, then A is an open map (i.e. if U is an open set in X , then A U ) is open in Y The proof uses the Baire category theorem , and completeness of both X and Y is essential to the theorem. The statement of the theorem is no longer true if either space is just assumed to be a normed space , but is true if X and Y are taken to be Fréchet spaces Contents Consequences Proof Generalizations References ... edit Consequences The open mapping theorem has several important consequences: If A X Y is a bijective continuous linear operator between the Banach spaces X and Y , then the inverse operator A Y X is continuous as well (this is called the bounded inverse theorem Rudin 1973 , Corollary 2.12)

Functional analysis (psychology) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Functional analysis in behavioral psychology is the application of the laws of operant conditioning to establish the relationships between stimuli and responses . To establish the function of a behavior, one typically examines the "three-term contingency": identifying the antecedent or trigger of the behavior, identifying the behavior itself as it has been operationalized , and identifying the consequence of the behavior which continues to maintain it. Functional Analysis in behavior analysis employs principles derived from the natural science of behavior analysis edit Applications in clinical psychology Functional analysis and consequence analysis are commonly used in certain types of psychotherapy to better understand, and in some cases change, behavior. It is particularly common in behavioral therapies such as Behavioral Activation , although it is also part of Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy . In addition, functional analysis modified into a behavior chain analysis is often used in Dialectical behavior therapy There are several advantages to using functional analysis over traditional assessment methods. Firstly, behavioral observation is more reliable than traditional self-report methods. This is because observing the individual from an objective stand point in their regular environment allows the observer to observe both the antecedent and the consequence of the problem behavior. Secondly, functional analysis is advantageous as it allows for the development of behavioral interventions, either antecedent control or consequence control, specifically designed to reduce a problem behavior. Thirdly, functional analysis is advantageous for interventions for young children or developmentally delayed children with problem behaviors, whom may not be able to answer self-report questions about the reasons for their actions.

Fluorescein Di-acetate Staining Protocol Functional Analysis As long as the relevant functional aspect of the cell can be tagged with a detectable marker, flow cytometry can be used to assess functionality.  Applications include: Calcium Flux measurement. Calcium is a very important intracellular ion. It plays a vital role in the transduction of signals from the cell membrane to the cell cytoplasm and a change in intracellular calcium levels is a good indication that the cell is responding to a stimulus. Many stimuli can cause mobilisation of calcium either as an influx from the extracellular medium or the release of intracellular stores. By using fluorescent dyes this mobilisation can be observed. The most common method is to use the UV-excited dye Indo-1, which fluoresces at a different wavelength when it is bound to calcium than when it is not. By measuring fluorescence at two different wavelengths and by ratioing the two signals, a flux can be seen. A ratiometric method such as this is useful as it is unaffected by such things as cell size, dye concentration, fluctuations in laser power and so on. A protocol is available here in PDF or HTML format.

Foundations of Our Work Functional Analysis August 14, 2005 - 10:16am — Steven Hayes [View] Classical functional analysis has the following components: 1. Identify potentially relevant characteristics of the individual client, his or her behavior, and the context in which it occurs via broad assessment. The purpose of the step is simply to collect data from which the beginnings of analysis might emerge. Exactly what occurs at this step is dictated by the philosophical and theoretical assumptions (usually implicit) of the assessor and informal prejudgments made about the case based on referral information, preliminary interviews, and the like. 2. Organize the information collected in Step 1 into a preliminary analysis of the client's difficulties in terms of behavioral principles so as to identify important causal relationships that might be changed. The process of functional analysis has been described as a funnel (Hawkins, 1979). The opening is wide at the top but then begins to narrow down. Step 2 in functional analysis, traditionally conceived, is to begin to narrow the focus of assessment. Certain features (e.g., forms of behavior, motivational operations, contexts in which behavior occurs) are tentatively selected as more important than others. Characteristics of the case are organized into classes. The guiding principles are behavioral in the catholic sense of that word, but with a special emphasis not simply on the structure of the phenomena observed but on their function what they do or affect in a dynamic system.

Particular emphasis is on the connections and applications to Fredholm theory, function-theoretic operator theory, and the theory of cyclic phenomena for operators on Banach spaces. Further interest is in the connections between local spectral theory and the theory of Banach algebras, in particular group and measure algebras on locally compact abelian groups. Another research emphasis is the area of convex analysis with applications to the theory of flows in networks and mathematical economics.

USTransferPricing.com Home Laws News Topics ... Jobs Functional Analysis Is a given uncontrolled transaction comparable to the controlled transaction being examined? The "functional analysis" process is essential to determining whether a given uncontrolled transaction is relevant for comparison purposes to the related-party transaction being examined. Functional analysis examines the specific economic activities that are inherent in the transactions being compared. In this manner, functional analysis acts as a filter for eliminating uncontrolled transactions that are not comparable from a transfer pricing analysis. The official definition of functional analysis as it applies under United States transfer pricing rules can be found in Section 482-1 (d)(3)(i) of the transfer pricing regulations: (i) Functional analysis. Determining the degree of comparability between controlled and uncontrolled transactions requires a comparison of the functions performed, and associated resources employed, by the taxpayers in each transaction. This comparison is based on a functional analysis that identifies and compares the economically significant activities undertaken, or to be undertaken, by the taxpayers in both controlled and uncontrolled transactions. A functional analysis should also include consideration of the resources that are employed, or to be employed, in conjunction with the activities undertaken, including consideration of the type of assets used, such as plant and equipment, or the use of valuable intangibles. A functional analysis is not a pricing method and does not itself determine the arm’s length result for the controlled transaction under review. Functions that may need to be accounted for in determining the comparability of two transactions include—
