About
This course gives an introduction to the functional analytic treatment of partial differential equations.
Proseminar
The following problems should be prepared:
Content
I will assume familiarity with Lebesgue spaces and basic Functional Analysis. We covered the second part of my notes [PDE] except for Sections 14.3 and 14.4.
Target audience
Module "Advanced Partial Differential Equations" in the Master's programme in Mathematics
Assessment
The course assessment for the lecture (VO) will be via an oral examination at the end of the course. The course assessment for the introductory seminar (PS) will be via participation (solving/presenting assigned problems) during the seminar.
