Introduction to Hilbert Space and the Theory of Spectral Multiplicity Bayes and Minimax Sequential ProceduresThis concise introductory treatment consists of three chapters: The Geometry of Hilbert Space, The Algebra of Operators, and The Analysis of Spectral Measures. Author Paul R. Halmos notes in the Preface that his motivation in writing this text was to make available to a wider audience the results of the third chapter, the so called multiplicity theory. The theory as he presents it deals with arbitrary spectral measures, including the multiplicity
