Yosida vs Yoshida[edit]

I entitled this page 'Yosida' because

this seems the spelling preferred by the person himself (see google search for his full name) and on most japanese web pages.
this is the spelling used on the title page of his famous textbook.

I am aware that today's preferred transcription of the japanese word would rather be "Yoshida", so I put cross references where I could. MFH 18:37, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

We should use the name he is usually known by - i.e. Yosida. Charles Matthews 22:33, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

other book[edit]

I just came across "Operational Calculus: a theory of Hyperfunctions" and thought of adding in his list of work but i'm not sure it's by the same author, though I'll be surprise there could be two K Yosida in functional analysisNoix07 (talk) 20:09, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the preface of the Russian translation "Операционное исчисление: Теория гиперфункций" it is mentioned that the author is famous for his book "Функциональный анализ" (1969) (=Functional analysis) and that he is a foreign member of Russian Academy of Sciences, so yes, they are the same.
