    Devoted to counterparts of classical structures of mathematical analysis in analysis over local fields of positive characteristic, this book treats positive characteristic phenomena from an analytic viewpoint. Building on the basic objects introduced by L. Carlitz - such as the Carlitz factorials, exponential and logarithm, and the orthonormal system of Carlitz polynomials - the author develops a kind of differential and integral calculi.

    • The first treatment of positive characteristic phenomena from the analytic viewpoint
    • Provides a foundation for the study of various special functions
    • For researchers and graduate students in mathematical analysis and number theory

    "It is quite remarkable to see how far differential formalism goes in an area very distant from where it arose. The book under review serves as a fine introduction to these new ideas."
    David Goss, Mathematical Reviews
