Functional analysis is a mathematical discipline that emerged in the early 20th century. It is concerned with the study of infinite-dimensional vector spaces, such as function spaces, and linear operators between them. The subject has its roots in the work of mathematicians such as David Hilbert, Stefan Banach, and John von Neumann, who laid the foundations of modern functional analysis.
Once the linear framework is established, Nonlinear Functional Analysis builds upon it to solve problems involving complexity and irregularity.
