Where can I find challenging functional analysis problems for self-study?

Click For Summary
For challenging functional analysis problems, Kreyszig is noted for its commentary but lacks difficult exercises. Recommended alternatives include books by Conway and Pedersen, although Pedersen's problems may be overly difficult for beginners. The user plans to purchase Conway's book for better practice. Additionally, they have acquired "Exercises in Functional Analysis" by Costara and Popa, which will aid in self-study by providing solutions for verification. This resource will be particularly helpful for those tackling functional analysis independently.

Does anyone know of where I should look to find lots of good functional analysis problems? I am currently reading Kreyszig which has great commentary, but the majority of the exercises are simple.

There are lots of good GTM books with challenging problems, e.g. Conway and Pedersen. In my opinion Pedersen's problems are too challenging, in the sense that it's almost impossible to do most of them if this is your first functional analysis course.
 
Thanks. I'm going to take your advice and buy Conway.
 
I just picked up Exercises in Functional Analysis by Costara and Popa. This will be invaluable for me, since I'm self-studying, so its always nice to be able to check my work if I get stuck.
