In this book, the author has expanded this study further and taken it in a new and exciting direction.   The number of conceptually and technically different systems which characterize approach spaces is increased and moreover their uniform counterpart, uniform gauge spaces, is put into the picture. An extensive study of completions, both for approach spaces and for uniform gauge spaces, as well as compactifications for approach spaces is performed. A paradigm shift is created by the new concept of index analysis.   Making use of the rich intrinsic quantitative information present in approach structures, a technique is developed whereby indices are defined that measure the extent to which properties hold, and theorems become inequalities involving indices; therefore vastly extending the realm of applicability of many classical results. The theory is then illustrated in such varied fields as topology, functional analysis, probability theory, hyperspace theory and domain theory. Finally a comprehensive analysis is made concerning the categorical aspects of the theory and its links with other topological categories. Index Analysis will be useful for mathematicians working in category theory, topology, probability and statistics, functional analysis, and theoretical computer science.Springer Monographs in Mathematics,1439-7382GeometryAlgebraOrdered algebraic structuresApproximation theoryFunctional analysisTopologyProbabilitiesGeometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006Order, Lattices, Ordered Algebraic Structureshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11124Approximations and Expansionshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12023Functional Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12066Topologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M28000Probability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Geometry.Algebra.Ordered algebraic structures.Approximation theory.Functional analysis.Topology.Probabilities.Geometry.Order, Lattices, Ordered Algebraic Structures.Approximations and Expansions.Functional Analysis.Topology.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.514.325Lowen Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut534675MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299768903321Index analysis1522422UNINA
