Volterra - Borutera (English spelling) Vito Volterra

Japanese: ボルテラ - ぼるてら(英語表記)Vito Volterra
Volterra - Borutera (English spelling) Vito Volterra

Italian mathematician. Born in Ancona, he taught at the University of Pisa (1883-1892), the University of Turin (1892-1900), and the University of Rome (1900-1931). He was a member and president of the National Academy of Lincei. In 1887, he pointed out the importance of the concept of "functionals" and gave many examples. That is, for a function f, its integral value is

It is a generalization of the concept of "function of lines," which corresponds functions and derivative values ​​f'(t 0 ), to the concept of "functional," which corresponds one numerical value to each function. Going further, he called "generalized functions" whose domain and range are both sets of functions "operators," and this became the origin of "functional analysis." As an example of an operator, he presented the integral equation

The solution is given by = (I+TK+TK 2 +……)f. The operators I, TK, TK 2 … are

His publications include " Leçons sur les fonctions de lignes " (1911).
