Functional analysis II

MATH-404 / 5 credits

Teacher: Braun Mathias Viktor Joachim

Language: English

Summary

We introduce locally convex vector spaces. As an example we treat the space of test functions and the space of distributions. In the second part of the course, we discuss differential calculus in Banach spaces and some elements from nonlinear functional analysis.

Content

  • locally convex vector spaces
  • test functions and the dual space of distributions
  • Fréchet-derivative
  • implicit function theorem and consequences on Banach spaces
  • fixed point theorems
  • introduction to degree theory (if time permits)

Keywords

Locally convex vector spaces, test functions and distributions, analysis on Banach spaces, nonlinear functional analysis

Learning Prerequisites

Required courses

Analysis I-IV, Linear Algebra I-II, Metric and topological spaces, Functional analysis I

Important concepts to start the course

Basic notions from topology, Banach spaces, differential calculus in finite dimensions, Lebesgue integration

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Formulate the definitions and results of the lectures
  • Apply the concepts learned in class to concrete problems
  • Analyze problems related to the topics treated in the course
  • Choose an appropriate method to solve a given problem
  • Prove some elementary statements about the topics of the course
  • Solve exercises on the topics
