Since the study of normed spaces for their own sake evolved rather than arose fully formed, there is some room to disagree about who founded the field. Albert Bennett came close to giving the definition of a normed space in a 1916 paper on an extension of Newton's method for finding roots, and in 1918 Frederic Riesz [195] based a generalization of the Fredholm theory of integral equations on the defining axioms of a complete normed space, though he did not use these axioms to study the general theory of such spaces. According to Jean Dieudonne [64], Riesz had at this time considered developing a general theory of complete normed spaces, but never published anything in this direction.
