Functional Analysis  

In General > s.a. types of topological spaces [topologies on function spaces].
* Idea: The branch of analysis that studies properties of mappings of classes of functions from one topological vector space into another; Some think it should be called topological algebra, but that expression seems to have a more general meaning (> see algebra).

Functional Derivative
* Idea: The Fréchet derivative of a functional.
$ Def: A functional A[f] is functionally differentiable at f0 if for any 1-parameter family of functions f(λ), with f(0) = f0, there exists dA/dλ at λ = 0, and it can be expressed as dA/dλ = χ δf, for some distribution χ; Then we call χ =: δAf, the functional derivative of A at f0.
* Remark: If A[f] is an integral over some fixed domain of integration of an expression involving f(x), then the functional derivative with respecto to f(x) is just the regular derivative of the integrand with respect to f(x).
