Background Linear analysis is the study of linear and algebraic structures in infinite-dimensional spaces. It started with the work of Hilbert, Fredholm and Toeplitz at the beginning of the 20th century and has evolved into a number of distinctive areas of active research. The Leeds group constitutes one of the strongest international research units in linear analysis, particularly in (i) Banach algebras, (ii) operator theory, and (iii) analysis applied to PDEs, systems and control, and quantum physics. This third theme nicely complements some interests of members of the Applied Mathematics department. Further details of the research interests of individual members of staff can be found on staff homepages, accessed by clicking on the names above. Leeds was a node in the EU network in Analysis and Operators.
