Distribution and interpolation spaces
MATH-502 / 5 credits
Teacher: Michelat Alexis Paul Benjamin
Language: English
Remark: Cours donné en alternance tous les deux ans
Summary
The goal of this course is to give an introduction to the theory of distributions and cover the fundamental results of Sobolev spaces including fractional spaces that appear in the interpolation theory. Those notions are central to the study of partial differential equations (PDE).
Content
Part 1: Toplogy and functional spaces. Fundamental theorems on Banach spaces, weak topology, weak * topology, reflexive spaces, separable spaces.
Part 2: Distributions. Topological vector spaces, distributions: differentiation, restriction, localisation, convolution, tempered distributions and Fourier transform.
Part 3: Sobolev spaces. Extension operators, Sobolev embedding theorem, Sobolev inequality, Poincaré inequality, dual Sobolev space, Hilbert-Sobolev spaces, fractional derivatives, fractional Sobolev spaces.
Keywords
Distributions, Sobolev Spaces, Interpolation Spaces
