List Of Operators

In mathematics, an operator or transform is a function from one space of functions to another. Operators occur commonly in engineering, physics and mathematics. Many are integral operators and differential operators.

In the following ''L'' is an operator

:$L:\mathcal\to\mathcal$

which takes a function $y\in\mathcal$ to another function L in\mathcal. Here, $\mathcal$ and $\mathcal$ are some unspecified function spaces, such as Hardy space, ''L''^p space, Sobolev space, or, more vaguely, the space of holomorphic functions.
