State Spaces of Operator Algebras: Basic Theory, Orientations, and C*-products vs Optimierung und Approximation (De Gruyter Studium) (German Edition)
Overall winner: Optimierung und Approximation (De Gruyter Studium) (German Edition)
Key Differences
Product A (Peter Kosmol) is a focused De Gruyter Studium edition on optimization and approximation and sits at a more affordable price tier; Product B (Alfsen & Shultz) is a broader academic reference on operator algebras including orientations and C*-products and targets readers needing comprehensive operator-algebra theory. A is better if you need a German-language, optimization/approximation textbook; B is better if you need in-depth operator-algebra coverage and C*-algebra topics
