C*-algebras
by John Erdos
Publisher: King's College, London 2003
Number of pages: 51
Description:
These notes form an introductory account of C*-algebras. Some results on more general commutative Banach algebras, whose proofs require little extra effort, are included. There are accounts of two applications of the commutative theory: the C*-algebra approach to the spectral theorem for bounded normal operators on Hilbert space and a brief introduction to the ideas of abstract harmonic analysis.

Nonlinear Functional Analysisby Gerald Teschl - University of Vienna
This manuscript provides a brief introduction to nonlinear functional analysis. As an application we consider partial differential equations and prove existence and uniqueness for solutions of the stationary Navier-Stokes equation.
