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. 000725078 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 29, 2015). 000725078 650_0 $$aIndex theory (Mathematics) 000725078 650_0 $$aTopological spaces. 000725078 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781447164845 000725078 830_0 $$aSpringer monographs in mathematics. 000725078 852__ $$bebk 000725078 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4471-6485-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000725078 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:725078$$pGLOBAL_SET 000725078 980__ $$aEBOOK 000725078 980__ $$aBIB 000725078 982__ $$aEbook 000725078 983__ $$aOnline 000725078 994__ $$a92$$bISE
