Functional analysis
Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limit-related structure and the linear operators acting upon these spaces and respecting these structures in a suitable sense...

    Pettis integral
    In mathematics, the Pettis integral or Gelfand–Pettis integral, named after I. M. Gelfand and B.J. Pettis, extends the definition of the Lebesgue integral to functions on a measure space which take values in a Banach space, by the use of duality. The integral was introduced by Gelfand for the...
